The function of the endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in epithelial tumor development has remained controversial. We studied the in vitro growth characteristics and the in vivo tumor xenograft growth of the human squamous cell carcinoma cell lines A431 and SCC-13, stably transfected to overexpress human TSP-1. Overexpression of TSP-1 inhibited tumor growth of A431 xenotransplants, and completely abolished tumor formation by SCC-13 cells. TSP-1 overexpressing A431 tumors were characterized by extensive areas of necrosis and by decreased tumor vessel number and size. The effects of TSP-1 on tumor cell growth were indirect since tumor cell proliferation rates in vivo and in vitro, anchorage-dependent and -independent growth in vitro, and susceptibility to induction of apoptosis by serum withdrawal were unchanged in TSP-1 overexpressing tumor cells. However, TSP-1 overexpression up-regulated the TSP-1 receptor CD36, leading to enhanced adhesion of A431 cells to TSP-1. These findings establish TSP-1 as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth in carcinomas of the skin.

Glycosylation is an important posttranslational modification in platelets, and the glycosylation pattern is critical for platelet function. To date, the exploration of the roles of various glycoforms in specific platelet functions is largely lacking. In this study, a global analysis of intact N-glycopeptides in human platelets was performed to map all the glycopeptides, glycosites and glycans of platelets.

The rapid and efficient bone regeneration is still in unsatisfactory outcomes, demonstrating alternative strategy and molecular mechanism is necessary. Nanoscale biomaterials have shown some promising results in enhancing bone regeneration, however, the detailed interaction mechanism between nanomaterial and cells/tissue formation is not clear. Herein, a molecular-based inorganic-organic nanomaterial poly(citrate-siloxane) (PCS) is reported which can rapidly enhance osteogenic differentiation and bone formation through a special interaction with the cellular surface communication network factor 3 (CCN3), further activating the Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells are a key cell line for influenza vaccine production, due to their high viral yield and low mutation resistance. In our laboratory, we established a tertiary cell bank (called M60) using a standard MDCK cell line imported from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) in the USA. Due to their controversial tumourigenicity, we domesticated non-tumourigenic MDCK cells (named CL23) for influenza vaccine production via monoclonal screening in the early stage of this study, and the screened CL23 cells were characterised based on their low proliferative capacity, which had certain limitations in terms of expanding their production during cell resuscitation.

Chronic low-grade inflammation observed in older adults, termed inflammaging, is a common feature underlying a multitude of aging-associated maladies including a decline in hematopoietic activity. However, whether suppression of inflammaging can preserve hematopoietic health span remains unclear, in part because of a lack of tools to measure inflammaging within hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here, we identify thrombospondin-1 (Thbs1) as an essential regulator of inflammaging within HSCs.

Thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) promotes platelet activation and thrombosis while suppressing vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Both processes are central to the development and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). We hypothesize that TYMP plays a role in AAA development.
