LC3s (MAP1-LC3A, B and C) are structural proteins of autophagosomal membranes,
widely used as biomarkers of autophagy. Whether these three LC3 proteins have a
similar biological role in autophagy remains obscure. We examine in parallel the
subcellular expression patterns of the three LC3 proteins in a panel of human
cancer cell lines, as well as in normal MRC5 fibroblasts and HUVEC, using
confocal microscopy and western blot analysis of cell fractions. In the
cytoplasm, there was a minimal co-localization between LC3A, B and C staining,
suggesting that the relevant autophagosomes are formed by only one out of the
three LC3 proteins. LC3A showed a perinuclear and nuclear localization, while
LC3B was equally distributed throughout the cytoplasm and localized in the
nucleolar regions. LC3C was located in the cytoplasm and strongly in the nuclei
(excluding nucleoli), where it extensively co-localized with the LC3A and the
Beclin-1 autophagy initiating protein. Beclin 1 is known to contain a nuclear
trafficking signal. Blocking nuclear export function by Leptomycin B resulted in
nuclear accumulation of all LC3 and Beclin-1 proteins, while Ivermectin that
blocks nuclear import showed reduction of accumulation, but not in all cell
lines. Since endogenous LC3 proteins are used as major markers of autophagy in
clinical studies and cell lines, it is essential to check the specificity of the
antibodies used, as the kinetics of these molecules are not identical and may
have distinct biological roles. The distinct subcellular expression patterns of
LC3s provide a basis for further studies.
