SLC22A14 is a mitochondrial riboflavin transporter required for sperm oxidative phosphorylation and male fertility

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Ablation of Slc22a14 causes male infertility in mice, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we show that SLC22A14 is a riboflavin transporter localized at the inner mitochondrial membrane of the spermatozoa mid-piece and show by ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Adaptive regulation of riboflavin transport in heart: effect of dietary riboflavin deficiency in cardiovascular pathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2017
Deficiency or defective transport of riboflavin (RF) is known to cause neurological disorders, cataract, cardiovascular anomalies, and various cancers by altering the biochemical pathways. Mechanisms and regulation of RF uptake process is well characterized in the cells of intestine, liver, kidney, and brain origin, while very little is known in the ...

A juvenile ALS‐like phenotype dramatically improved after high‐dose riboflavin treatment

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Riboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD) was recently characterized as a cause of genetic recessive childhood‐onset motor neuron disease (MND) with hearing loss, formerly described as Brown‐Vialetto‐Van‐Lear syndrome.

Treatable childhood neuronopathy caused by mutations in riboflavin transporter RFVT2. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Childhood onset motor neuron diseases or neuronopathies are a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders. A particularly severe subgroup first described in 1894, and subsequently called Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome, is characterized by progressive ...

Causes and Clinical Sequelae of Riboflavin Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Riboflavin, in its cofactor forms flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), plays fundamental roles in energy metabolism, cellular antioxidant potential, and metabolic interactions with other micronutrients, including iron ...

Molecular Mechanisms Mediating the Adaptive Regulation of Intestinal Riboflavin Uptake Process. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The intestinal absorption process of vitamin B2 (riboflavin, RF) is carrier-mediated, and all three known human RF transporters, i.e., hRFVT-1, -2, and -3 (products of the SLC52A1, 2 & 3 genes, respectively) are expressed in the gut.

Combined isobutyryl‐CoA and multiple acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in a boy with altered riboflavin homeostasis

open access: yesJIMD Reports, 2022
In this report, we describe the case of an 11‐year‐old boy, who came to our attention for myalgia and muscle weakness, associated with inappetence and vomiting. Hypertransaminasemia was also noted, with ultrasound evidence of hepatomegaly.

FLAD1‐associated multiple acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency identified by newborn screening

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019
Background Multiple acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD), also known as glutaric aciduria type II, is a mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorder caused by variants in ETFA, ETFB, and ETFDH.

A general method for selection of riboflavin-overproducing food grade micro-organisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
peer-reviewedBackground: This study describes a strategy to select and isolate spontaneous riboflavin-overproducing strains of Lactobacillus (Lb.) plantarum, Leuconostoc (Lc.) mesenteroides and Propionibacterium (P.) freudenreichii.
