Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone cancer in children and adolescents.In clinical treatments, the insensitivity of OS to conventional radiotherapy regimens signi cantly contributes to poor patient prognosis and survival. EXO1 is responsible for DNA repair pathways and telomere maintenance. Meanwhile, ATM and ATR are considered switches as they can regulate the expression of EXO1. However, their expression and interaction in OS cells under irradiation (IR) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the roles of FBXO32, ATM, ATR and EXO1 in OS radiotherapy insensitivity and poor patient prognosis and explore potential pathogenic mechanisms. Methods: Bioinformaticsmethods were employed to analyze differential gene expression and the correlations with prognosis in OS. Cell counting kit 8 assays, clone formation assays, and ow cytometry were used to evaluate cell survivaland apopotosisunder IR. Co-IP assays detected protein-protein interactions. Results: Bioinformatics analysis revealed that EXO1 is closely related to the survival, apoptosis and poorer prognosis in OS. The silencingof EXO1 suppressed cell proliferation and increased the sensitivity of OS cells. Molecular biological experiments showed that the ATMand ATR acted as the switch to regulate EXO1 expression under IR. Conclusion: Higher expression of EXO1, which was closely correlated with IR insensitivity and poorer prognosis, might be used as a prognostic indicator for OS. Phosphorylated-ATM enhanced the expression of EXO1, and phosphorylated-ATR induced the degradation of EXO1. More importantly, FBXO32 degraded ATR via ubiquitination in time dependent. Our data may provide a reference for future research on mechanisms, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of OS.
