This study found that high doses of riboflavin can cause cytotoxicity in rainbow trout gonad cells and affect the transcriptional expressions of antioxidant enzymes and growth and reproductive genes, potentially leading to DNA damage and cell death.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2 found in food) is a precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which study as coenzymes for a variety of cellular processes including biosynthesis, homocysteine metabolism, detoxification, and various oxidation and reduction reactions. Although studies on the symptoms resulting from riboflavin deficiency are intense, studies on the effects of high doses of riboflavin are almost absent. This report aimed to examine the actions of riboflavin on cell viability, the transcriptional expressions of antioxidant enzyme (gsr and gpx1a), growth (gh1, igf1, and igf2), the reproductive (bol) genes and DNA damage in the rainbow trout gonad cells (RTG-2) for 48 h. All concentrations of riboflavin (3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mu M) significantly reduced the RTG-2 cell viability. Riboflavin (LD50: 12.5 mu M) significantly downregulated the transcriptional expressions of gpx1a, igf1, and bol genes, while it non-significantly upregulated or downregulated the transcriptional expression of gsr, igf2, and gh1 genes in the RTG-2 cells in comparison to the control group for 48 h. The comet assay demonstrated that riboflavin significantly raised tail DNA% >10% DMSO (positive control). Based on the outcomes, high doses of riboflavin exhibit the potential to have a role in cellular mechanisms, including especially reproduction, DNA damage, and cell death.
