Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Thrombospondin-1, an extracellular matrix protein, is the first identified natural angiogenesis inhibitor. Thrombospondin-1 participates in a great number of physiological and pathological processes, including cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via a number of cell receptors, including CD36 and CD47, which plays a vital role in mediating inflammation and performs a promoting effect in pulmonary arterial vasculopathy and diabetes. Thrombospondin-1 consists of six domains, which combine with different molecules and participate in various functions in cancers, serving as a critical member in diverse pathways in cancers. Thrombospondin-1 works as a cancer promotor in some pathways but as a cancer suppressor in others, which makes it highly possible that its erroneous functioning might lead to opposite effects. Therefore, subdividing the roles of thrombospondin-1 and distinguishing them in cancers are necessary. Complex structure and multiple roles take disadvantage of the research and application of thrombospondin-1. Compared with the whole thrombospondin-1 protein, each thrombospondin- 1 active peptide performs an uncomplicated structure and, nevertheless, a specific role. In other words, various thrombospondin-1 active peptides may function differently. For instance, thrombospondin-1 could both promote and inhibit glioblastoma, which is significantly inhibited by the three type I repeats, a thrombospondin-1 active peptide but promoted by the fragment 167-569, a thrombospondin-1 active peptide consisting of the procollagen homology domain and the three type I repeats. Further studies of the functions of thrombospondin-1 active peptides and applying them reasonably are necessary. In addition to mediating cancerogenesis, thrombospondin-1 is also affected by cancer development, as reflected by its expression in plasma and the cancer tissue. Therefore, thrombospondin-1 may be a potential biomarker for pre-clinical and clinical application. This review summarizes findings on the multiple roles of thrombospondin-1 in cancer processes, with a focus on its use as a potential therapeutic target.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
