Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a matrix protein implicated in mechanisms of tumor metastasis. TSP-1 has a characteristic Cysteine-Serine-Valine-Threonine-Cysteine-Glycine (CSVTCG) sequence that functions as a tumor cell adhesion domain. Our laboratory has isolated a novel CSVTCG specific tumor cell receptor. Immunohistochemical staining techniques and computerized image analysis were used to identify and quantitate the CSVTCG receptor of TSP-1 in a wide spectrum of human archival breast tumors. Histopathologic and quantitative examination was correlated with clinical findings two years post operation. Increasing amounts of CSVTCG receptor correlated positively with worsening histopathologic and clinical findings. These findings suggest a role for the TSP-1 CSVTCG receptor in breast tumor progression. This receptor may have utility for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of this common and deadly disease.

D019700 Thrombospondin 1 An extracellular matrix glycoprotein from platelets and a variety of normal and transformed cells of both mesenchymal and epithelial origin.

Also, it has been studied for its use as a potential regulator of tumor growth and metastasis. TSP-1
