    Abstract Osteosarcomas, especially those with metastatic or unresectable disease, have limited treatment options. The antitumor effects of pharmacologic inhibitors of angiogenesis in osteosarcomas are hampered in patients by the rapid development of tumor resistance, notably through increased invasiveness and accelerated metastasis. Here we demonstrated that thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) is a potent inhibitor of the growth and metastasis of the osteosarcoma cell line MG-63. Moreover, we demonstrate that upregulation of TSP-1 facilitated expression of vasculostatin in MG-63 cells. In angiogenesis assays, overexpression of TSP-1 inhibited MG-63 cells and induced tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a CD36-dependent fashion.… More >
