Abstract
Supersulfides, a class of catenated sulfur-containing biomolecules, are increasingly recognized as key regulators of redox signaling, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory responses. Recent evidence suggests that lysosomes, central organelles for intracellular degradation and nutrient sensing, are closely linked to supersulfide metabolism through lysosomal acidification, cysteine metabolism, and autophagy. Conversely, supersulfides modulate lysosomal activity and inflammatory responses. This review summarizes recent progress in supersulfide biology and lysosomal regulation and discusses evidence supporting functional interactions between these systems. We propose the lysosome-supersulfide axis as a new concept in cellular homeostasis and metabolic regulation.
