Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21) play a dual role in the cytoplasm of the cells where it facilitates destruction of some antibody-coated viruses and some bacteria, and initiates synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines. Macrophages and CD16 monocyte subset can particularly participate in a proinflammatory response caused by viral infection, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine the level of TRIM21-mRNA expression in monocyte subsets including: classical (CD14CD16), intermediate (CD14CD16) and non-classical (CD14CD16) monocytes, as well as during in vitro differentiation of the isolated monocytes towards dendritic cells or macrophages. Our results revealed that the level of TRIM21 mRNA expression was significantly lower in CD16- monocytes, when compared to CD16 cells and the whole monocyte population, yet no significant differences were observed when CD16 population was divided into intermediate and non-classical subsets. More pronounced differences were observed in the case of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) and dendritic cells (DCs). TRIM21-mRNA expression level was app. 6-fold higher in DCs, and app. 16-fold higher in MDM (p<0,01), when compared to freshly isolated monocytes. Our results may suggest the new mechanism of increased proinflammatory cytokine production by CD16 (intermediate and non-classical) monocytes and macrophages, at least in patients with acute or chronic infections, caused by enveloped viruses. We suggest that TRIM21 may be one of the factors associated with the "switching on" the proinflammatory programme in CD16 monocytes or monocyte-derived macrophages.

Brown adipose tissue undergoes rapid postnatal development to mature and plays a crucial role in thermoregulation and energy expenditure, which protects against cold and obesity. Herein, it is shown that the expression of Trim21 mRNA level of interscapular brown adipose tissue elevates after birth, and peaks at P14 (postnatal day 14). Trim21 depletion severely impairs the maturation of interscapular brown adipose tissue, decreases the expression of a series of thermogenic genes, and reduces energy expenditure.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 plays a crucial role as a negative regulator of innate immune responses. Recent evidence has also indicated the involvement of TRIM21 in the genotoxic stress response and suppressing tumorigenesis. Our previous work has demonstrated a new function of TRIM21 in inhibiting p53 protein synthesis by degrading the RNA-binding protein HuR in response to UV radiation.

Article Synopsis
- TRIM21 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a role in immune response, and this study investigates its involvement in the interferon signature related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- The research involved 20 SLE patients and 24 healthy individuals, examining TRIM21, type I interferon, and related gene expressions in blood cells, along with protein levels using Western blotting.
- The findings revealed increased TRIM21 expression in SLE patients, a positive correlation between TRIM21 mRNA and SLE activity, and impaired degradation of immune regulatory proteins, which contributes to a stronger IFN signature in SLE.
