Life Stage Applicability
The lysosome contains redox-active labile irons which are suggested to be involved in local reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation via a Fenton-type reaction [1]. Many iron containing metallo-proteins are degraded within the lysosomes, leading to an enrichment of this transition metal within this organelle. Iron which is released inside lysosomes due to degradation processes is transported to the cytoplasm and then stored in ferritin, a ubiquitous and highly conserved iron-binding protein [2]. Induction of lysosomal membrane disruption by lysosomotropic detergents has been found to cause an induction of ferritin, together with an increase of cellular ROS and concomitant reduction of the antioxidants MnSOD (manganese superoxide dismutase) and GSH (glutathione). A suggested explanation for this is the release of free iron into the cytosol [2].

Uncertainties and Inconsistencies
All studies were performed in varying cell types, either immune or brain cells. Applicability in other cell types such as hepatocytes needs to be determined.
Is it known how much change in the first event is needed to impact the second? Are there known modulators of the response-response relationships? Are there models or extrapolation approaches that help describe those relationships?
To date, there are no quantitative studies to determine this KER. However, when lysosomal damage is reduced by neutralizing the lysosomal pH with NH4Cl, ROS-induction is strongly decreased [5].
