Chemical compound and disease context of Thbs1

 

Biological context of Thbs1

  • We previously showed that inducible expression of the catalytic domain of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) inhibits glucose-regulated TSP1 transcription and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta activity in stably transfected rat mesangial cells (RMCs(tr/cd)) [12].
  • Using a luciferase-promoter deletion assay, we now identify a single region of the human TSP1 promoter (-1172 to -878, relative to the transcription start site) that is responsive to glucose [12].
  • MC displayed a single class of heparin-inhibitable TSP binding sites (Bmax 3.8 +/- 1.8 x 10(6)/cell, Kd = 80 +/- 29 nM) [13].
  • Since little is known about signal transduction pathways regulating TSP expression in liver, we investigated cytokine-mediated upregulation of TSP-1 and TGF-beta1 in primary rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC) [14].
  • Mesangial cell upregulation of TSP-1 is associated with migration and proliferation but not maximal ECM accumulation, whereas mesangial cell expression of Fn-EIIIA is associated with proliferation and ECM accumulation [15].
 

Anatomical context of Thbs1

 

Associations of Thbs1 with chemical compounds

  • However, the molecular mechanisms by which PKG represses glucose-regulated TSP1 transcription are unknown [12].
  • Thrombospondin (TSP) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein involved in mesangial cell (MC) adhesive and migratory function [13].
  • Based on these observations, we propose the existence of an autocrine positive feedback loop of MC proliferation involving TSP and growth factors, and regulated by heparan sulfate [13].
  • TSP, in a concentration dependent manner (5 to 20 micrograms/ml), caused an increase in thymidine uptake, first detectable at 28 hours and more prominent at 48 hours [13].
  • Moreover, Ang II induction of TSP1 and increased TGF-beta activity were blocked by losartan, an antagonist of the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor [1].
 

Physical interactions of Thbs1

 

Regulatory relationships of Thbs1

  • TSP induced epidermal growth factor (EGF) secretion and significantly augmented constitutive platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB) secretion by MC in a concentration dependent fashion [13].
  • Fusion constructs of the type 1, 2, and 3 repeats and the COOH terminus of TSP1 were tested for their ability to activate latent TGF-beta [18].
  • Immunocytochemistry for extracellular matrix molecules showed that microglial cells stained positively for growth-promoting thrombospondin, whereas laminin and the inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) were localized primarily to SC [19].
 

Other interactions of Thbs1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Thbs1

  • TSP-1 mRNA expression was investigated using a radioactive in situ hybridization technique [2].
  • Northern and Western blot analysis were used to study the temporal profile of TSP-1 and TSP-2 expression at the mRNA and protein level, respectively [3].
  • We found that TGF-beta1 enhanced production and secretion of TSP, with peak levels of secreted TSP observed 24 h after treatment [17].
  • In summary, these studies support the hypothesis that TGF-beta-induced JNK1 activation and proliferation of RASMC require secretion of TSP and ligation of alpha(v)beta(3)-integrins [17].
  • Thrombospondin was localized in osteoid of undemineralized, frozen sections of fetal subperiosteal bone, and identified as a component of mineralized bone matrix of neonatal and/or young (growing) bone of many animal species by Western blot analysis [24].
