In Vitro and In Vivo Evidence that Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) Contributes to Stirring- and Shear-Dependent Activation of Platelet-Derived TGF-β1

Thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1), which is contained in platelet α-granules and released with activation, has been shown to activate latent TGF-β1 in vitro, but its in vivo role is unclear as TSP-1-null (Thbs1(−/−)) mice have a much less severe phenotype than TGF-β1-null (Tgfb1(−/−)) mice. We recently demon...
