Riboflavin is an essential micronutrient for normal cellular growth and function. Lack of dietary riboflavin is associated with an increased risk for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Previous studies have identified that the human riboflavin transporter SLC52A3a isoform (encoded by SLC52A3) plays a prominent role in esophageal cancer cell riboflavin transportation. Furthermore, SLC52A3 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms rs3746804 (TC, L267P) and rs3746803 (C T, T278M) are associated with ESCC risk. However, whether SLC52A3a (p.L267P) and (p.T278M) act in riboflavin transportation in esophageal cancer cell remains inconclusive. Here, we constructed the full-length SLC52A3a protein fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP-SLC52A3a-WT and mutants L267P, T278M, and L267P/T278M). It was confirmed by immunofluorescence-based confocal microscopy that SLC52A3a-WT, L267P, T278M, and L267P/T278M expressed in cell membrane, as well as in a variety of intracellular punctate structures. The live cell confocal imaging showed that SLC52A3a-L267P and L267P/T278M increased the intracellular trafficking of SLC52A3a in ESCC cells. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching of GFP-tagged SLC52A3a meant that intracellular trafficking of SLC52A3a-L267P and L267P/T278M was rapid dynamics process, leading to its stronger ability to transport riboflavin. Taken together, the above results indicated that the rs3746804 (p.L267P) polymorphism promoted intracellular trafficking of SLC52A3a and riboflavin transportation in ESCC cells. |
