Selective inhibition of platelet macroaggregate formation by a recombinant heparin-binding domain of human thrombospondin.

Abstract: Thrombospondin (TSP) is a platelet a-granule adhesive protein that plays a critical role in the stabilization of thrombus by promoting the formation of platelet macroaggregates. We have recently shown that a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to the NH 2 -terminal heparin-binding domain of TSP, MAE, inhibits platelet aggregation induced by thrombin in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, we have expressed in Escherichia coli two recombinant proteins comprising residues 1 to 174 (TSP18) and 1 to 242 (TSP28) of TSP. A… Show more

“…The participation of TSP in platelet aggregation has been demonstrated by a variety of studies reporting inhibition of platelet aggregation and secretion, by anti-TSP antibodies (18 -23) and synthetic or recombinant peptides of TSP (6,24). Leung (19) suggested that the interaction of TSP with Fg on the surface of activated platelets stabilizes the binding of Fg to its receptor, the activated integrin GPIIbIIIa (GPIIbIIIa*), with only Fg participating in direct cross-bridges.…”

“…Earlier studies reported contradictory evidence regarding the role of TSP1 in platelet activation (135,280), and the first evaluation of platelet function in Thbs1 -/-mice reported normal hemostatic function as assessed by tail bleeding and thrombin activation of washed platelets (127). Therefore, TSP1 was concluded to not be required for normal platelet function.…”
