Abstract
Isthmin is a polypeptide secreted by adipocytes that was first detected in Xenopus gastrula embryos. Recent studies have focused on the biological functions of isthmin in growth and development, angiogenesis, and metabolism. Distinct spatiotemporal expression of isthmin-1 (ISM-1) was observed during growth and development. ISM-1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cancer by regulating cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and immune microenvironments. Moreover, ISM-1, as a newly identified insulin-like adipokine, increases adipocyte glucose uptake and inhibits hepatic lipid synthesis. However, the biological function of ISM-1 remains largely unknown. In this review, we highlight the structure and physiological functions of isthmin and explore its application potential, contributing to a better understanding of its function and providing prevention and treatment strategies for various diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly aggressive disease, and approximately 30% of patients are diagnosed at the metastatic stage. Even with targeted therapies, the prognosis of advanced ccRCC is poor. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical prognosis signatures by analyzing the ccRCC datasets in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and the function of thrombospondin 3 (THBS3) in ccRCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the ccRCC datasets in TCGA and CPTAC to search for extracellular matrix (ECM)-related and adhesion-associated genes, and conducted overall survival, Cox, and receiver operating characteristic analyses. We also performed CCK8, colony formation, and transwell assays to compared the proliferation and migration ability of THBS3 knockout cells with those of cells without THBS3 knockout. RESULTS Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed that THBS3 is a novel candidate oncogene that is overexpressed in ccRCC tumor tissue and that its elevated expression indicates poor prognosis. Our study also showed that knockdown of THBS3 inhibits proliferation, colony formation, and migration of ccRCC cells. CONCLUSIONS In summary, our data have revealed that THBS3 is upregulated in cancer tissues and could be used as a novel prognostic marker for ccRCC. Our findings thus offer theoretical support with bioinformatics analyses to the study of ECM and adhesion proteins in ccRCC, which may provide a new perspective for the clinical management of ccRCC.

Abstract
Matricellular proteins (MCPs) are defined as extracellular matrix (ECM) associated proteins that are important regulators and integrators of microenvironmental signals, contributing to the dynamic nature of ECM signalling. There is a growing understanding of the role of matricellular proteins in cellular processes governing tissue development as well as in disease pathogenesis. In this review, the expression and functions of different MP family members (periostin, CCNs, TSPs, SIBLINGs and others) are presented, specifically in relation to craniofacial development and the maintenance of orofacial tissues, including bone, gingiva, oral mucosa, palate and the dental pulp. As will be discussed, each MP family member has been shown to have non-redundant roles in development, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, pathology and tumorigenesis of orofacial and dental tissues.

Abstract
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has been implicated in human proliferative diseases such as cancer and fibrosis. The functions of β-catenin and several other components of this pathway have been investigated in fibrosis. However, the potential role of R-spondin proteins (RSPOs), enhancers of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, has not been described. A specific interventional strategy targeting this pathway for fibrosis remains to be defined. We developed monoclonal antibodies against members of the RSPO family (RSPO1, 2, and 3) and probed their potential function in fibrosis in vivo. We demonstrated that RSPO3 plays a critical role in the development of fibrosis in multiple organs. Specifically, an anti-RSPO3 antibody, OMP-131R10, when dosed therapeutically, attenuated fibrosis in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis, bleomycin-induced pulmonary and skin fibrosis models. Mechanistically, we showed that RSPO3 induces multiple pro-fibrotic chemokines and cytokines in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes. We found that the anti-fibrotic activity of OMP-131R10 is associated with its inhibition of β-catenin activation in vivo. Finally, RSPO3 was found to be highly elevated in the active lesions of fibrotic tissues in mouse models of fibrosis and in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Together these data provide an anti-fibrotic strategy for targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway through RSPO3 blockade and support that OMP-131R10 could be an important therapeutic agent for fibrosis.

Abstract
The furin-domain-containing peptide R-spondin 1 (RSPO1) has recently emerged as an important regulator of ovarian development, upregulating the WNT/β-catenin pathway to oppose testis formation in mammals. However, little information has been reported on the Rspo1 signaling pathway in teleosts. In this study, Rspo1 was isolated from the gonads of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. An in situ hybridization analysis demonstrated that Rspo1 is expressed in the germ cells of the ovary and the testis. An ontogenic analysis demonstrated that Rspo1 expression is upregulated just before meiotic initiation in both the ovary and testis during the early developmental stages of the tilapia. The expression pattern is sexually dimorphic from 20days after hatching, with higher expression in the ovary. The reduction of Rspo1 expression by transcription activator-like (TAL) effector nuclease (TALEN) caused retarded ovarian development, the ectopic expression of male-dominant genes, and increased serum 11-ketotestosterone. Intriguingly, a deficiency of Rspo1 in XY fish caused a delay in spermatogenesis, the inhibition of igf3 and amh expression and a reduction in serum 11-ketotestosterone. Furthermore, incubation with FH535, an inhibitor of the Rspo1/Wnt pathway, decreased β-catenin, while increased cyp11c1 and dmrt1 expression in the in vitro cultured ovaries; decreased cyp11c1, amh and igf3 expression in the in vitro cultured testes. Taken together, our data suggest that the Rspo1 signaling pathway might be involved in both ovarian and testicular development in the tilapia.

Abstract
The Wnt/β-catenin or canonical Wnt signaling pathway plays fundamental roles in early development and in maintaining adult tissue homeostasis. R-spondin 3 (Rspo3) is a secreted protein that has been implicated in activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling in amphibians and mammals. Here we report that zebrafish Rspo3 plays a negative role in regulating the zygotic Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Zebrafish Rspo3 has a unique domain structure. It contains a third furin-like (FU3) domain. This FU3 is present in other four ray-finned fish species studied but not in elephant shark. In zebrafish, rspo3 mRNA is maternally deposited and has a ubiquitous expression in early embryonic stages. After 12 hpf, its expression becomes tissue-specific. Forced expression of rspo3 promotes dorsoanterior patterning and increases the expression of dorsal and anterior marker genes. Knockdown of rspo3 increases ventral-posterior development and stimulates ventral and posterior marker genes expression. Forced expression of rspo3 abolishes exogenous Wnt3a action and reduces the endogenous Wnt signaling activity. Knockdown of rspo3 results in increased Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity. Further analyses indicate that Rspo3 does not promote maternal Wnt signaling. Human RSPO3 has similar action when tested in zebrafish embryos. These results suggest that Rspo3 regulates dorsoventral and anteroposterior patterning by negatively regulating the zygotic Wnt/β-catenin signaling in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathbway controls many important biological processes. R-Spondin (RSPO) proteins are a family of secreted molecules that strongly potentiate Wnt/β-catenin signaling, however, the molecular mechanism of RSPO action is not yet fully understood. We performed an unbiased siRNA screen to identify molecules specifically required for RSPO, but not Wnt, induced β-catenin signaling. From this screen, we identified LGR4, then an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), as the cognate receptor of RSPO. Depletion of LGR4 completely abolished RSPO-induced β-catenin signaling. The loss of LGR4 could be compensated by overexpression of LGR5, suggesting that LGR4 and LGR5 are functional homologs. We further demonstrated that RSPO binds to the extracellular domain of LGR4 and LGR5, and that overexpression of LGR4 strongly sensitizes cells to RSPO-activated β-catenin signaling. Supporting the physiological significance of RSPO-LGR4 interaction, Lgr4−/− crypt cultures failed to grow in RSPO-containing intestinal crypt culture medium. No coupling between LGR4 and heterotrimeric G proteins could be detected in RSPO-treated cells, suggesting that LGR4 mediates RSPO signaling through a novel mechanism. Identification of LGR4 and its relative LGR5, an adult stem cell marker, as the receptors of RSPO will facilitate the further characterization of these receptor/ligand pairs in regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Thrombospondin-4 (TSP-4) expression increases dramatically in hypertrophic and failing hearts in rodent models and in humans. The aim of this study was to address the function of TSP-4 in the heart. TSP-4-knockout (Thbs4(-/-)) and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) to increase left ventricle load. After 2 wk, Thbs4(-/-) mice had a significantly higher heart weight/body weight ratio than WT mice. The additional increase in the heart weight in TAC Thbs4(-/-) mice was due to increased deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). The levels of interstitial collagens were higher in the knockout mice, but the size of cardiomyocytes and apoptosis in the myocardium was unaffected by TSP-4 deficiency, suggesting that increased reactive fibrosis was the primary cause of the higher heart weight. The increased ECM deposition in Thbs4(-/-) mice was accompanied by changes in functional parameters of the heart and decreased vessel density. The expression of inflammatory and fibrotic genes known to be influential in myocardial remodeling changed as a result of TSP-4 deficiency in vivo and as a result of incubation of cells with recombinant TSP-4 in vitro. Thus, TSP-4 is involved in regulating the adaptive responses of the heart to pressure overload, suggesting its important role in myocardial remodeling. Our study showed a direct influence of TSP-4 on heart function and to identify the mechanism of its effects on heart remodeling.

Abstract
R-spondins (Rspos) comprise a family of four secreted proteins that have important roles in cell proliferation, cell fate determination and organogenesis. Rspos typically exert their effects by potentiating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. To systematically investigate the impact of Rspo/Wnt on gene expression, we performed a microarray analysis using C57MG mouse mammary epithelial cells treated with recombinant Rspo2 and/or Wnt3a. We observed the up- and down-regulation of several previously unidentified target genes, including ones that encode proteins involved in immune responses, effectors of other growth factor signaling pathways and transcription factors. Dozens of these changes were validated by quantitative real time RT-PCR. Time course experiments showed that Rspo2 typically had little or no effect on Wnt-dependent gene expression at 3 or 6 h, but enhanced expression at 24 h, consistent with biochemical data indicating that Rspo2 acts primarily to sustain rather than acutely increase Wnt pathway activation. Up-regulation of gene expression was inhibited by pre-treatment with Dickkopf1, a Wnt/β-catenin pathway antagonist, and by siRNA knockdown of β-catenin expression. While Dickkopf1 blocked Rspo2/Wnt3a-dependent down-regulation, a number of down-regulated genes were not affected by β-catenin knockdown, suggesting that in these instances down-regulation was mediated by a β-catenin-independent mechanism.

Abstract
Tissue microfibrils contain fibrillin-1 as a major constituent. Microfibrils regulate bioavailability of TGFβ superfamily growth factors and are structurally crucial in the ocular zonule. FBN1 mutations typically cause the Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder manifesting with skeletal overgrowth, aortic aneurysm, and lens dislocation (ectopia lentis). Infrequently, FBN1 mutations cause dominantly inherited Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS), isolated ectopia lentis (IEL), or the fibrotic condition, geleophysic dysplasia (GD). Intriguingly, mutations in ADAMTS [a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease (reprolysin-type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif] family members phenocopy these disorders, leading to recessive WMS (ADAMTS10), WMS-like syndrome (ADAMTS17), IEL (ADAMTSL4 and ADAMTS17) and GD (ADAMTSL2). An ADAMTSL2 founder mutation causes Musladin-Lueke syndrome, a fibrotic disorder in beagle dogs. The overlapping disease spectra resulting from fibrillin-1 and ADAMTS mutations, interaction of ADAMTS10 and ADAMTSL2 with fibrillin-1, and evidence that these ADAMTS proteins accelerate microfibril biogenesis, constitutes a consilience suggesting that some ADAMTS proteins evolved to provide a novel mechanism regulating microfibril formation and consequently cell behavior.

Abstract
R-spondin-1 (Rspo1) is an intestinal growth factor known to exert its effects through activation of the canonical Wnt (cWnt) signaling pathway and subsequent expression of cWnt target genes. We have detected Rspo1 mRNA in murine islets and the murine MIN6 and betaTC beta-cell lines, and Rspo1 protein in MIN6 beta-cells. Rspo1 activated cWnt signaling in MIN6 beta-cells by increasing nuclear beta-catenin and c-myc, a cWnt target gene. Rspo1 also induced insulin mRNA expression in MIN6 cells. Analysis of MIN6 and mouse beta-cell proliferation by [(3)H]thymidine and BrdU incorporation, respectively, revealed that Rspo1 stimulated cell growth. Incubation of MIN6 and mouse beta-cells with cytokines (IL1beta/TNFalpha/interferon-gamma) significantly increased cellular apoptosis; this increase was abolished by pretreatment with Rspo1. Rspo1 also stimulated insulin secretion in a glucose-independent fashion. We further demonstrated that the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, exendin4 (EX4), stimulated Rspo1 mRNA transcript levels in MIN6 cells in a glucose-, time-, dose-, and PI3-kinase-dependent fashion. This effect was not limited to this beta-cell line, as similar time-dependent increases in Rspo1 were also observed in the betaTC beta-cell line and mouse islets in response to EX4 treatment. Together, these studies demonstrate that Rspo1 is a novel beta-cell growth factor and insulin secretagogue that is regulated by EX4. These findings suggest that Rspo1 and the cWnt signaling pathway may serve as a novel target to enhance beta-cell growth and function in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background Radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (RIGS) results from a combination of direct cytocidal effects on intestinal crypt and endothelial cells and subsequent loss of the mucosal barrier, resulting in electrolyte imbalance, diarrhea, weight loss, infection and mortality. Because R-spondin1 (Rspo1) acts as a mitogenic factor for intestinal stem cells, we hypothesized that systemic administration of Rspo1 would amplify the intestinal crypt cells and accelerate the regeneration of the irradiated intestine, thereby, ameliorating RIGS. Methods and Findings Male C57Bl/6 mice received recombinant adenovirus expressing human R-spondin1 (AdRspo1) or E.coli Lacz (AdLacz), 1–3 days before whole body irradiation (WBI) or abdominal irradiation (AIR). Post-irradiation survival was assessed by Kaplan Meier analysis. RIGS was assessed by histological examination of intestine after hematoxilin and eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining of BrdU incorporation, Lgr5 and β-catenin expression and TUNEL staining. The xylose absorption test (XAT) was performed to evaluate the functional integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier. In order to examine the effect of R-spondin1 on tumor growth, AdRspo1 and AdLacZ was administered in the animals having palpable tumor and then exposed to AIR. There was a significant increase in survival in AdRspo1 cohorts compared to AdLacZ (p<0.003) controls, following WBI (10.4 Gy). Significant delay in tumor growth was observed after AIR in both cohorts AdRspo1 and AdLacZ but AdRspo1 treated animals showed improved survival compared to AdLacZ. Histological analysis and XAT demonstrated significant structural and functional regeneration of the intestine in irradiated animals following AdRspo1 treatment. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated an increase in Lgr5+ve crypt cells and the translocation of β-catenin from the cytosol to nucleus and upregulation of β-catenin target genes in AdRspo1-treated mice, as compared to AdLacz-treated mice. Conclusion Rspo1 promoted radioprotection against RIGS and improved survival of mice exposed to WBI. The mechanism was likely related to induction of the Wnt-β-catenin pathway and promotion of intestinal stem cell regeneration. Rspo1 has protective effect only on normal intestinal tissue but not in tumors after AIR and thereby may increase the therapeutic ratio of chemoradiation therapy in patients undergoing abdominal irradiation for GI malignancies.

Abstract
Thrombospondin (TSP)-2 is known to be an endogenous negative regulator of vascularization in human cancer. However, it is unclear whether TSP-2 expression is related to neovascularization and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer. In this study, we quantitatively examined the expression of TSP-2 mRNA by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 102 pulmonary adenocarcinomas. All 102 carcinoma specimens expressed TSP-2 mRNA. The expression of TSP-2 mRNA in carcinoma was significantly higher than normal lung tissues (p<0.0001, Kruskal-Wallis test). Sizes of tumors were significantly correlated with TSP-2 gene expression (p=0.0179, Kruskal-Wallis test). The TSP-2 expression levels of the stage II/III pulmonary carcinomas were significantly increased as compared to those of stage I (p=0.0136, Kruskal-Wallis test). Thirty-five patients with high TSP-2 mRNA expression showed poor prognosis in survival (p=0.0139, log-rank test). We examined TSP-2 protein localizations in the pulmonary adenocarcinoma overexpressing TSP-2 mRNA. The TSP-2 localizations were categorized in two patterns: cancerous TSP-2 expression pattern (TSP-2 expression in the cancerous cells) and non-cancerous TSP-2 expression pattern (TSP-2 expression in the stromal lymphoid cells). Pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with cancerous TSP-2 expression pattern showed good prognosis (p=0.0322; Fisher's probability exact test). Pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with non-cancerous TSP-2 expression pattern showed poor prognosis (p=0.0220; Fisher's probability exact test). Non-cancerous TSP-2 expressions may reflect secondary reactions in the cancerous stroma. The stromal TSP-2 expression is not enough to suppress growth of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, while the cancerous TSP-2 expression directly inhibits growth of the carcinoma.

Abstract
Bioinformatic data show that, in addition to TRAP-C1, Cryptosporidium parvum encodes 11 thrombospondin-related proteins (CpTSP2 through CpTSP12), none of which has been characterized yet. We describe herein the cloning of a 2048 bp-long sporozoite cDNA encoding CpTSP8, a type I integral membrane protein of 614 amino acids, possessing three thrombospondin type I (TSP1) repeats and one epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain. Transcriptionally, CpTSP8 is represented by a fully spliced and two immature mRNA forms, in which the intron is either totally or partially retained. Immunofluorescence analysis detected CpTSP8 in the apical complex of both sporozoites and type I merozoites, and showed that, upon sporozoite exposure to host cells in vitro, the protein is translocated onto the parasite surface as typical of micronemal proteins (MICs). Accordingly, double immunofluorescence localized CpTSP8 to C. parvum micronemes, prompting us to rename it CpMIC1 in agreement with the current MICs nomenclature.

Abstract
The thrombospondins are a 5-member gene family that mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The thrombospondins are either trimers or pentamers, and their functions depend on their abilities to interact with numerous extracellular ligands and cell surface receptors through the multiple domains that compose each subunit. Recent genetic studies have indicated associations of particular single nucleotide polymorphisms in 3 of the 5 thrombospondins with cardiovascular disease. This observation has stimulated efforts to understand how the thrombospondins influence cardiovascular pathology, to dissect how the individual polymorphisms alter the structure and function of the parent thrombospondin molecules, and to replicate the genetic data in different patient populations. This review seeks to summarize current information that has emerged on each of these fronts.

Abstract
The R-spondins are a relatively recently identified family of secreted proteins linked to the Wnt signaling pathway. Recently, human phenotypes have been associated with mutations in two human R-spondins. Germline RSPO4 and RSPO1 mutations result in recessive anonychia (absence of all fingernails and toenails) and a recessive syndrome with XX-male sex reversal, PPK and a predisposition to SCC, respectively. This review discusses the key roles R-spondins play in embryogenesis, adult tissue maintenance and skin carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The five current members of the thrombospondin (TSP) family can be divided in two subgroups according to their molecular architecture. TSP-1 and -2 (subgroup A) are trimeric matricellular proteins that do not contribute directly to tissue integrity, but influence cell function by modulating cell-matrix interactions, whereas TSP-3, -4 and -5 (subgroup B) are pentameric proteins. TSP-1 and TSP-2 are markedly induced in healing wounds and may regulate cellular responses important for tissue repair. TSP-1 is a crucial activator of TGF-beta, whereas both TSP-1 and TSP-2 inhibit angiogenesis. This manuscript reviews our current knowledge on the expression and role of the TSPs in healing myocardial infarcts. In both canine and murine infarcts, TSP-1 shows a strikingly selective localization in the infarct border zone. In the absence of injury, TSP-1 -/- mice exhibit normal cardiac morphology and show no evidence of myocardial inflammation. Infarcted TSP-1 -/- mice have an enhanced and protracted inflammatory response with subsequent expansion of granulation tissue in the non-infarcted area, resulting in myofibroblast infiltration into the viable myocardium neighboring the infarct. Infarcted TSP-1 -/- animals have enhanced left ventricular remodeling compared with their wildtype littermates. We suggest that TSP-1 is a critical component of the protective mechanisms induced in the infarct border zone in order to limit expansion of fibrosis into the non-infarcted myocardium. Localized TSP-1 expression may suppress expansion of the inflammatory process by activating TGF-beta or by inhibiting local angiogenesis. In addition, TSP-1-mediated inhibition of MMP activity may decrease adverse remodeling. TSP-2, on the other hand, appears to be a crucial regulator of the integrity of the cardiac matrix that is necessary for the myocardium to cope with increased loading. The expression and potential role of the pentameric TSPs in the infarcted heart remain unknown. Understanding the specific mechanisms responsible for the protective effects of TSP-1 and TSP-2 in healing infarcts may lead to novel therapeutic interventions aiming at attenuating adverse left ventricular remodeling.

Abstract
R-spondins are a recently characterized small family of growth factors. Here we show that human R-spondin1 (RSPO1) is the gene disrupted in a recessive syndrome characterized by XX sex reversal, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and predisposition to squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Our data show, for the first time, that disruption of a single gene can lead to complete female-to-male sex reversal in the absence of the testis-determining gene, SRY.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma is a very aggressive tumor with a propensity to metastasize and invade surrounding tissue. Identification of the molecular determinants of invasion and metastatic potential may guide the development of a rational strategy for devising specific therapies that target the pathways leading to osteosarcoma. Methods In this study, we used pathway-focused low density expression cDNA arrays to screen for candidate genes related to tumor progression. Expression patterns of the selected genes were validated by real time PCR on osteosarcoma patient tumor samples and correlated with clinical and pathological data. Results THBS3, SPARC and SPP1 were identified as genes differentially expressed in osteosarcoma. In particular, THBS3 was expressed at significantly high levels (p = 0.0001) in biopsies from patients with metastasis at diagnosis, which is a predictor of worse overall survival, event-free survival and relapse free survival at diagnosis. After chemotherapy, patients with tumors over-expressing THBS3 have worse relapse free survival. High SPARC expression was found in 51/55 (96.3%) osteosarcoma samples derived from 43 patients, and correlated with the worst event-free survival (p = 0.03) and relapse free survival (p = 0.07). Overexpression of SPP1 was found in 47 of 53 (89%) osteosarcomas correlating with better overall survival, event-free survival and relapse free survival at diagnosis. Conclusion In this study three genes were identified with pattern of differential gene expression associated with a phenotypic role in metastasis and invasion. Interestingly all encode for proteins involved in extracellular remodeling suggesting potential roles in osteosarcoma progression. This is the first report on the THBS3 gene working as a stimulator of tumor progression. Higher levels of THBS3 maintain the capacity of angiogenesis. High levels of SPARC are not required for tumor progression but are necessary for tumor growth and maintenance. SPP1 is not necessary for tumor progression in osteosarcoma and may be associated with inflammatory response and bone remodeling, functioning as a good biomarker.

Mouse R-spondin3 (Rspo3) is a member of the R-spondin protein family, which is characterized by furin-like cysteine-rich domains and a thrombospondin type 1 repeat. Rspo3 has been proposed to function as a secretory molecule that promotes the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. We generated mice bearing a mutant Rspo3 allele in which a lacZ-coding region replaced the coding region of the first exon. The homozygous mutant mice died at about embryonic day 10, due to impaired formation of the labyrinthine layer of the placenta. Rspo3 was expressed in the allantoic component of the labyrinth. In the homozygous mutant placentas, fetal blood vessels did not penetrate into the chorion, and expression of Gcm1, encoding the transcription factor glial cells missing-1 (Gcm1), was dramatically reduced in the chorionic trophoblast cells. These findings suggest a critical role for Rspo3 in the interaction between chorion and allantois in labyrinthine development.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and many other viruses can be isolated in blood and body fluids, including saliva, and can be transmitted by genital-genital and especially anal-genital sexual activity. The risk of transmission of HIV via oral sexual practices is very low. Unlike other mucosal areas of the body, the oral cavity appears to be an extremely uncommon transmission route for HIV. We present a review of available evidence on the oral-genital transmission of HIV and analyse the factors that act to protect oral tissues from infection, thereby reducing the risk of HIV transmission by oral sex. Among these factors we highlight the levels of HIV RNA in saliva, presence of fewer CD4+ target cells, presence of IgA antibodies in saliva, presence of other infections in the oral cavity and the endogenous salivary antiviral factors lysozyme, defensins, thrombospondin and secretory leucocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI).

Abstract
HIV infection occurs primarily through mucosal surfaces, indicating that protection at mucosal sites may be crucial in prevention and treatment. The host innate and adaptive immune elements provide a level of protection, which differs between mucosal compartments, and appears to be most successful in the oral environment, where transmission is rare. In addition to the distinct oral mucosal architecture and cellular constituents, oral fluids, unlike other mucosal secretions, are rarely a vehicle for HIV infection. Multiple soluble factors may contribute to this antiviral activity, including neutralizing antibodies, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), antiviral peptides such as defensins and cystatins, glycoproteins including thrombospondin and lactoferrin, and complement components. Understanding the antiviral activities of these and other potential resistance factors is becoming increasingly important in attempts to design treatments in the era of HAART resistance. In this regard, the mechanism of anti-HIV action of SLPI has recently been further elucidated by the discovery of its binding protein/receptor, which plays a key role in the infection of macrophages and may consequently be a novel therapeutic target. Continued elucidation of the unique features of mucosal HIV immunology is essential for understanding HIV pathogenesis and for developing effective vaccines and therapeutics.

Abstract
Thrombospondin 1 and thrombospondin 2 (TSP1 and TSP2), which comprise the subgroup A thrombospondins, are matricellular proteins. As matricellular proteins, they modulate interactions between cells and the cellular environment, regulate cell adhesion and typically are expressed during tissue formative processes. In general, TSP1 and TSP2 counter angiogenesis (including tumour angiogenesis) and play important but contrasting roles during cutaneous repair. The two proteins are involved in development, including that of the eye, although evidence suggests that they have their greatest impact during tissue production in the adult. In the normal adult eye, they tend to be found at sites of ongoing matrix synthesis or cell-matrix interactions. At these sites, the two proteins possibly influence cellular differentiation and/or basement membrane deposition. TSP1 is also present in the intraocular fluids and drainage pathway, where it may function in maintaining the anti-angiogenic environment and in intraocular pressure control, respectively. TSP1 could also be involved in ocular immune privilege. Unlike in skin wounds, where TSP1 is derived from the blood and is present only in the early phases of repair, ocular tissue damage appears to lead to protacted TSP1 synthesis by local cells. This response might help suppress angiogenesis in the transparent tissues of the eye and so lessen visual axis opacification following injury. However, TSP2, which is also produced by damaged ophthalmic tissue and may be especially important in matrix organisation, seems to augment contraction in anomalous intraocular fibrosis. Elucidating the roles of TSP1 and TSP2 in ocular physiology and pathobiology may lead to improved therapies for neovascular, neoplastic, reparative and other ophthalmic diseases.

Abstract
Several described growth factors influence the proliferation and regeneration of the intestinal epithelium. Using a transgenic mouse model, we identified a human gene, R-spondin1, with potent and specific proliferative effects on intestinal crypt cells. Human R-spondin1 (hRSpo1) is a thrombospondin domain-containing protein expressed in enteroendocrine cells as well as in epithelial cells in various tissues. Upon injection into mice, the protein induced rapid onset of crypt cell proliferation involving beta-catenin stabilization, possibly by a process that is distinct from the canonical Wnt-mediated signaling pathway. The protein also displayed efficacy in a model of chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis and may have therapeutic application in gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) and thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2) are structurally unrelated matricellular proteins that have important roles in cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions and tissue repair. SPARC-null mice exhibit accelerated wound closure, and TSP-2-null mice show an overall enhancement in wound healing. To assess potential compensation of one protein for the other, we examined cutaneous wound healing and fibrovascular invasion of subcutaneous sponges in SPARC-TSP-2 (ST) double-null and wild-type (WT) mice. Epidermal closure of cutaneous wounds was found to occur significantly faster in ST-double-null mice, compared with WT animals: histological analysis of dermal wound repair revealed significantly more mature phases of healing at 1, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days after wounding, and electron microscopy showed disrupted ECM at 14 days in these mice. ST-double-null dermal fibroblasts displayed accelerated migration, relative to WT fibroblasts, in a wounding assay in vitro, as well as enhanced contraction of native collagen gels. Zymography indicated that fibroblasts from ST-double-null mice also produced higher levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2. These data are consistent with the increased fibrovascular invasion of subcutaneous sponge implants seen in the double-null mice. The generally accelerated wound healing of ST-double-null mice reflects that described for the single-null animals. Importantly, the absence of both proteins results in elevated MMP-2 levels. SPARC and TSP-2 therefore perform similar functions in the regulation of cutaneous wound healing, but fine-tuning with respect to ECM production and remodeling could account for the enhanced response seen in ST-double-null mice.

Abstract
Specific antagonists have been successfully developed for several different integrins. Clinical trials have been initiated to study therapeutic uses of these inhibitors in cancer, thrombosis, and inflammatory diseases. Most efforts to date have focused on the platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3, endothelial alphavbeta3, and the leukocyte integrin alpha4beta1. However, the integrin family contains additional members with interesting tissue specificities and functional properties that could also be useful molecular targets for disease intervention. In many cases, specific recognition motifs for these integrins have not been identified, which has precluded development of specific antagonists. Our recent studies of thrombospondin-1 and thrombospondin-2 recognition by integrins have revealed novel motifs for alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 integrins as well as new motifs recognized by the well studied alpha4beta1 integrin. These three integrins play distinct roles in angiogenesis and its modulation by thrombospondins. This review will discuss recent insights into the specificities of alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1 integrins, their functions in angiogenesis, and potential applications for antagonists of these integrins and of alpha4beta1 to control pathological angiogenesis and other diseases.

Abstract
Metastatic development is the primary cause of cancer treatment failure and is responsible for most deaths from colorectal cancer. For the majority of patients, by the time primary colorectal cancers are diagnosed, sub-clinical or clinically relevant liver metastases have already occurred. The formation of liver metastases represents a highly selective sequence in which a subpopulation of cells, within a tumour, express genes that allow them to progress through distinct steps and spread to distant organs. Modification of gene expression in these cells leads to transformation, growth, angiogenesis, invasion, dissemination, survival in systemic circulation and attachment in the organ of metastases. Existing therapies directed at metastatic disease of the liver have had minimal impact on outcome. Contemporary treatment regimens are not likely to significantly alter the natural history of liver metastases. Consequently, understanding the molecular and biological mechanisms of colorectal cancer may allow for the development of therapeutic strategies designed to prevent and treat liver metastases. Standard chemotherapy regimens have had only minimal success in effectively treating metastatic colorectal cancer. This review focuses on the molecular and biological mechanisms of colorectal cancer angiogenesis. In addition, this report will evaluate the novel antiangiogenic therapeutic strategies targeting colorectal cancer and hepatic metastases.

Abstract
Thrombospondins (TSPs) 1 and 2 are extracellular modular glycoproteins that are best known for their anti-angiogenic properties and their ability to modulate cell-matrix interactions. However, these proteins, and in particular TSP2, are pleiotropic in function and affect processes as disparate as bone growth and hemostasis. In recognition of their ability to influence a wide variety of cell functions, and in the absence of convincing evidence for their participation as integral components of extracellular structures, the term 'matricellular' has been applied to these and a small group of functionally related proteins. In this review, we focus on the role of TSP1 and 2 in two forms of injury in mice, excisional skin wounds and subcutaneously implanted biomaterials, and take advantage of mice with targeted disruptions of one or both genes to identify likely biochemical mechanisms that could account for the characteristics of the injury response in these knockout mice. In work that stems largely from our own laboratory, we show that pericellular levels of the matrix metalloproteinase, MMP2, are controlled to a large extent by TSP2 (and potentially also by TSP1), and that elevated levels of MMP2 are likely to account in part for defects as diverse as reduced cellular adhesion, abnormal collagen fibril structure, and increased endothelial cell and vascular proliferation.

Abstract
Thrombospondins (TSPs) are extracellular, multidomain, calcium-binding glycoproteins that function at cell surfaces, in extracellular matrix (ECM) and as bridging molecules in cell-cell interactions. TSPs are multifunctional and modulate cell behavior during development, wound-healing, immune response, tumor growth and in the homeostasis of adult tissues. TSPs are assembled as oligomers that are composed of homologous polypeptides. In all the TSP polypeptides, the most highly-conserved region is the carboxyl-region, which contains a characteristic set of domains comprising EGF domains, TSP type 3 repeats and a globular carboxy-terminal domain. This large region is termed here the thrombospondin carboxy-terminal cassette (TSP-CTC). The strong conservation of the TSP-CTC suggests that it may mediate ancestral functions that are shared by all TSPs. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the TSP-CTC and areas of future interest.

Abstract
Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) was first recognized as a thrombin-sensitive protein associated with platelet membranes. It is secreted by numerous cell types and its expression is predominant in areas of active tissue remodeling. Thrombospondins 1 and 2 are large, trimeric, matricellular proteins, composed of multiple structural motifs which interact with a diverse array of receptors and molecules. Thrombospondin's capacity to bind multiple receptors renders it multifunctional. The functions of its isolated domains can be overlapping or contradictory. In this review, we focus on the N-terminus of the molecule, first recognized for its strong heparin binding properties and characterized by its susceptibility to proteolytic cleavage from the stalk region of thrombospondin. The N-terminus, called the heparin binding domain (HBD), interacts with a variety of macromolecules including heparan sulfate proteoglycans at the membrane and in the matrix, LDL receptor-related protein (LRP), sulfated glycolipids, calreticulin, and integrins. The HBD mediates endocytosis of thrombospondin. It functions both as a soluble and an insoluble modulator of cell adhesion and motility. In contrast to thrombospondin, the HBD has pro-angiogenic activity. We propose that the HBD of thrombospondins 1 and 2 are found primarily in the cellular microenvironment in conditions of cellular injury, stress and tissue remodeling and that the HBD conveys multiple signals involved in cellular adaptation to injury.

Abstract
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) was studied in the 1980s as a major component of platelet alpha-granules released upon platelet activation and also as a cell adhesion molecule. In 1993, we published a short review that discussed the exciting identification by molecular cloning of four additional vertebrate gene products related to TSP-1 [Current Biology 3 (1993) 188]. We put forward a structurally based classification for the newly identified proteins and discussed the functional and evolutionary implications of the new gene family. Since that time, the depth and breadth of knowledge on vertebrate TSPs and their functions in cells and tissues in health and disease has expanded into important new areas. Of particular interest is the new knowledge on the complex, domain and cell-type specific effects of TSPs on cell-signaling and cell-adhesion behaviour, the roles of TSP-1 and TSP-2 as anti-angiogenic agents, the roles of TSP-1 and TSP-2 in wound-healing, and associations of point mutations and polymorphisms in TSP-1, TSP-4 and TSP-5/COMP with human genetic diseases. The TSP family also now includes invertebrate members. In this article, we give the 2004 view on TSPs and our perspectives on the significant challenges that remain. Other articles in this issue discuss the functions of vertebrate TSPs in depth.

Abstract
In addition to the major structural molecules, which are constitutively present in extracellular matrices, several proteins appear in the extracellular matrix only at specific stages in development or in association with specific pathological conditions. These proteins include thrombospondin-1 and -2, tenascin C, osteopontin, members of the cysteine-rich 61/connective tissue growth factor/nephroblastoma overexpressed family, and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (osteonectin). These proteins play important roles in regulating cell fate during development and in the pathogenesis of several diseases in adult animals. We will review the interactions of T cells with this class of molecules and their resulting effects on T cell behavior. Receptors and signal transduction pathways that mediate the actions of matricellular proteins on T cells are beginning to be defined. Transgenic mice are providing new insights into the functions of these proteins in vivo and are yielding insights into the significance of their reported dysregulation in several human diseases.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a complex, multifactorial process that involves signals from endothelial cells and from the stoma. Extracellular matrix proteins participate in the modulation of growth factor response, contribute to the architecture of the vasculature and provide signals for the stabilization of mature capillary beds. The identification of the relevant extracellular matrix molecules and the characterization of their effects has been a central focus of research in vascular biology. Thrombospondin-1 is an extracellular glycoprotein first to be recognized as an inhibitor of angiogenesis more than a decade ago. Since then, much has been learned about its ability to regulate vascular growth in several angiogenesis models, functional domains have been identified, and mechanisms of action determined. This review summarizes current understanding on the effects of thrombospondin-1 and -2 during the process of angiogenesis. We will also extend our comments to ADAMTS1, a member of a relatively novel group of matrix metalloproteinases with thrombospondin repeats and shown to affect endothelial cell function and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Cells utilize dynamic interactions with the extracellular matrix to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) induces focal adhesion disassembly and cell migration through a sequence (hep I) in its heparin-binding domain signaling through the calreticulin-low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein receptor complex. This involves the Galphai-dependent activation of ERK and phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase, both of which are required for focal adhesion disassembly. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulates adhesion dynamics, acting in part by modulating RhoA activity, and FAK is implicated in ERK and PI 3-kinase activation. In this work, we sought to determine the role of FAK in TSP1-induced focal adhesion disassembly. TSP1/hep I does not stimulate focal adhesion disassembly in FAK knockout fibroblasts, whereas re-expressing FAK rescues responsiveness. Inhibiting FAK signaling through FRNK or FAK Y397F expression in endothelial cells also abrogates this response. TSP1/hep I stimulates a transient increase in FAK phosphorylation that requires calreticulin and Galphai, but not ERK or PI 3-kinase. Hep I does not activate ERK or PI 3-kinase in FAK knockout fibroblasts, suggesting activation occurs downstream of FAK. TSP1/hep I stimulates RhoA inactivation with kinetics corresponding to focal adhesion disassembly in a FAK, ERK, and PI 3-kinase-dependent manner. Furthermore, hep I does not stimulate focal adhesion disassembly in cells expressing constitutively active RhoA, suggesting that RhoA inactivation is required for this response. This is the first work to illustrate a connection between FAK phosphorylation in response to a soluble factor and RhoA inactivation, as well as the first report of PI 3-kinase and ERK in FAK regulation of RhoA activity.

Abstract
The low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) mediates the endocytic clearance of various proteinases and proteinase.inhibitor complexes, including thrombospondin (TSP)-dependent endocytosis of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 (or gelatinase A), a key effector of extracellular matrix remodeling and cancer progression. However, the zymogen of MMP-2 (pro-MMP-2) mostly occurs in tissues as a complex with the tissue inhibitor of MMPs (TIMP-2). Here we show that clearance of the pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 complex is also mediated by LRP, because addition of receptor-associated protein (RAP), a natural LRP ligand antagonist, inhibited endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of (125)I-pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2. Both TIMP-2 and the pro-MMP-2 collagen-binding domain independently competed for endocytosis of (125)I-pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 complex. Surface plasmon resonance studies indicated that pro-MMP-2, TIMP-2, and pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 directly interact with LRP in the absence of TSP. LRP-mediated endocytic clearance of (125)I-pro-MMP-2 was inhibited by anti-TSP antibodies and accelerated upon complexing with TSP-1, but these treatments had no effect on (125)I-pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 uptake. This implies that mechanisms of clearance by LRP of pro-MMP-2 and pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 complex are different. Interestingly, RAP did not inhibit binding of (125)I-pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 to the cell surface. We conclude that clearance of pro-MMP-2.TIMP-2 complex is a TSP-independent two-step process, involving (i) initial binding to the cell membrane in a RAP-insensitive manner and (ii) subsequent LRP-dependent (RAP-sensitive) internalization and degradation.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure (HF), but it is unpredictable which hypertrophied myocardium will progress to HF. We surmised that apart from hypertrophy-related genes, failure-related genes are expressed before the onset of failure, permitting molecular prediction of HF. Hearts from hypertensive homozygous renin-overexpressing (Ren-2) rats that had progressed to early HF were compared by microarray analysis to Ren-2 rats that had remained compensated. To identify which HF-related genes preceded failure, cardiac biopsy specimens were taken during compensated hypertrophy and we then monitored whether the rat progressed to HF or remained compensated. Among 48 genes overexpressed in failing hearts, we focused on thrombospondin-2 (TSP2). TSP2 was selectively overexpressed only in biopsy specimens from rats that later progressed to HF. Moreover, expression of TSP2 was increased in human hypertrophied hearts with decreased (0.19+/-0.01) versus normal ejection fraction (0.11+/-0.03 [arbitrary units]; P<0.05). Angiotensin II induced fatal cardiac rupture in 70% of TSP2 knockout mice, with cardiac failure in the surviving mice; this was not seen in wild-type mice. In TSP2 knockout mice, angiotensin II increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activity by 120% and 390% compared with wild-type mice (P<0.05). In conclusion, we identify TSP2 as a crucial regulator of the integrity of the cardiac matrix that is necessary for the myocardium to cope with increased loading and that may function by its regulation of MMP activity. This suggests that expression of TSP2 marks an early-stage molecular program that is activated uniquely in hypertrophied hearts that are prone to fail.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thrombospondin (TSP)-1 and -2 are important antiangiogenic factors thought to be involved in maintaining corneal avascularity (angiogenic privilege). This study was undertaken to investigate whether deficiencies of these factors altered developmental and inflammation-induced angiogenesis in the cornea and developmental angiogenesis of the iris of mice. METHODS Expression of TSP-1 and -2 mRNA and protein was assayed in cornea and iris stroma by RT-PCR and Western blot. Corneas and irides of TSP-1(-/-), TSP-2(-/-), and TSP-1,2(-/-) mice aged 2, 3, and 6 months, and wild-type control mice, were analyzed for spontaneous angiogenesis biomicroscopically, histologically, and with CD31 immunohistochemistry. The mouse model of suture-induced, inflammatory corneal neovascularization was used to evaluate the lack of TSP-1,2 and both TSPs on induced-corneal angiogenesis. Seven days after intrastromal placement of three 11-0 sutures, vascularized areas were analyzed morphometrically on CD31-stained corneal flatmounts. RESULTS Corneas and irises from normal mouse eyes constitutively expressed TSP-1 and -2 mRNAs and proteins. Corneas of TSP-1(-/-), -2(-/-), and -1,2(-/-) mice displayed no evidence of spontaneous developmental-postnatal angiogenesis, although irises of these mice contained significantly increased iris vessel density compared with wild-type animals (P < 0.01). One week after suturing, corneas of all TSP(-/-) mice had significantly greater corneal angiogenesis than those of control mice (P < 0.05). TSP-1(-/-) had a significantly greater effect on induced corneal neovascularization than did TSP-2(-/-), with the opposite being the case in developmental iris angiogenesis (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Corneal avascularity during development is redundantly regulated, shown by the fact that lack of the antiangiogenic factors TSP-1 and/or -2 resulted in no spontaneous corneal angiogenesis. By contrast, TSP-1, more than TSP-2, helps to suppress inflammation-induced corneal angiogenesis postnatally, implying that angiogenic privilege in the cornea is actively maintained.

Abstract
Mice with disruptions of the red blood cell (RBC) cytoskeleton provide severe hemolytic anemia models in which to study multiorgan thrombosis and infarction. The incidence of cerebral infarction ranges from 70% to 100% in mice with alpha-spectrin deficiency. To determine whether mutant RBCs abnormally bind adhesive vascular components, we measured adhesion of mouse and human RBCs to immobilized human thrombospondin (TSP) and laminin (LM) under controlled flow conditions. Mutant RBCs had at least 10-fold higher adhesion to TSP compared with normal RBCs (P <.006). Mutant relative to unaffected RBC adhesion to LM was significantly (P <.01) increased as well. Treatment of RBCs with the anionic polysaccharide dextran sulfate inhibited mutant RBC adhesion to TSP (P <.001). Treatment of RBCs with antibodies to CD47 or the CD47-binding TSP peptide 4N1K did not inhibit TSP adhesion of RBCs. Previously, we have shown that infarcts in alpha-spectrin-deficient sph/sph mice become histologically evident beginning at 6 weeks of age. TSP adhesion of RBCs from 3- to 4- and 6- to 8-week-old sph/sph mice was significantly higher than RBCs from adult mice (> 12 weeks old; P <.005). While the mechanism of infarction in these mice is unknown, we speculate that changes in RBC adhesive characteristics contribute to this pathology.

Abstract
Abnormal interactions between red blood cells (RBCs) and vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are crucial factors in causing vascular pathology in several diseases, including vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell anemia and the development of vascular complications in diabetes mellitus and malaria. A mechanistic understanding of the specific nature of RBC-EC interactions and ensuing functional consequences can provide insights into the pathophysiology of RBC-related vascular disorders and a rational basis for developing novel therapies. This review discusses in vitro experimental models that are commonly used for investigating RBC-EC interactions, and current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of RBC-EC adhesion and EC functions modulated by RBCs. Because blood flow-induced mechanical forces and convective mass transfer play significant roles in regulating vascular events, it is necessary to develop advanced dynamic experimental models for elucidating RBC-EC interactions under well-controlled, physiologically relevant mechanical environments.
