PG - 16310-16322 LID - 10.1021/acs.jafc.3c06085 [doi] AB - Sodium sulfite is a widely used preservative in the food industry. Ferroptosis has been a newly discovered form of iron-dependent oxidative cell death in recent years. However, the potential connection between sodium sulfite and ferroptosis has not been explored. In our study, we observed the abnormal expression of ferroptosis marker protein in vivo, suggesting that sodium sulfite caused ferroptosis in vivo. Next, our study revealed that sodium sulfite caused the overproduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in the AML-12 cells. It is well established that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization. After lysosomal membrane permeabilization occurs, the outflow of Fe(2+) in lysosomes triggers the Fenton reaction and subsequently results in the increase of intracellular ROS level, which is closely related to ferroptosis. As speculated, acridine orange (AO) staining and LysoTracker red staining showed that sodium sulfite-induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization could be alleviated by mtROS scavenger TEMPO. In addition, TEMPO, lysosomal stabilizer mannose, and lysosomal iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) inhibited sodium sulfite-induced ferroptosis. Overall, the results showed that sodium sulfite induced lysosomal iron efflux through the mtROS-lysosomal membrane permeabilization pathway and eventually led to ferroptosis. Our study might provide a new mechanism for the hepatotoxicity of sodium sulfite and a theoretical basis for the risk assessment of sodium sulfite as a food additive.
