Inactivation of DNA mismatch repair propels colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis. CRCs exhibiting elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST) show reduced nuclear MutS homolog 3 (MSH3) expression with surrounding inflammation and portend poor patient outcomes. MSH3 reversibly exits from the nucleus to the cytosol in response to the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), suggesting that MSH3 may be a shuttling protein. In this study, we manipulated three putative nuclear localization (NLS1 to -3) and two potential nuclear export signals (NES1 and -2) within MSH3. We found that both NLS1 and NLS2 possess nuclear import function, with NLS1 responsible for nuclear localization within full-length MSH3. We also found that NES1 and NES2 work synergistically to maximize nuclear export, with both being required for IL-6- induced MSH3 export. We examined a 27-bp deletion (Delta 27bp) within the polymorphic exon 1 that occurs frequently in human CRC cells and neighbors NLS1. With oxidative stress, MSH3 with this deletion (Delta 27bp MSH3) localizes to the cytoplasm, suggesting that NLS1 function in Delta 27bp MSH3 is compromised. Overall, MSH3's shuttling in response to inflammation enables accumulation in the cytoplasm; reduced nuclear MSH3 increases EMAST and DNA damage. We suggest that polymorphic sequences adjacent to NLS1 may enhance cytosolic retention, which has clinical implications for inflammation-associated neoplastic processes.
