Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake governs metabolism and cell fate, yet how signals from other organelles shape this remains incompletely defined. Although lysosomes are relatively small Ca2+ stores, their strategic positioning at organelle contact sites suggests they may amplify Ca2+ transfer within nanodomains. Here, we show that activation of the lysosomal Two-pore channel 2 (TPC2) initiates rapid mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake through an endoplasmic reticulum-dependent relay requiring IP receptors and the mitochondrial calcium uniporter channel. The extent of mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation scales with TPC2 activity without affecting global Ca2+ responses, identifying TPC2 as a specific amplifier of lysosome-mitochondria Ca2+ exchange. Moderate TPC2 activation transiently enhances oxidative phosphorylation, whereas sustained enhancement increases susceptibility to Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition. In stroke models, hyperactivation of TPC2 exacerbates injury, while acute pharmacological inhibition at reperfusion confers neuroprotection, including in human iPSC-derived neurons. Thus, lysosomal Ca2+ release acts as an upstream regulator of mitochondrial energetic resilience under stress.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
