Fig. 7. A schematic model of TRIM21 regulating OS autophagy and differentiation by interacting with ANXA2.

Fig. 7

When TRIM21 is overexpressed in OS cells, it competitively binds to ANXA2 and thus facilitating the translocation of ANXA2 toward PM; this enables the disassociation of TFEB from the ANXA2-TFEB complex, allowing TFEB entering into the nucleus. Nuclear TFEB promotes the transcription of autophagy-related genes, including ATG9B, LC3, and P62, and inhibits OS differentiation, presumably, through regulating the Sp1/RUNX2 signaling in OS cells. TRIM21 OE: TRIM21 overexpression. ×: disassociation of ANXA2-TFEB complex.
