Thrombospondins are a family of large multi-domain glycoproteins described as matricelluar proteins based on their ability to interact with a broad range of receptors, matrix molecules, growth factors or proteases and to modulate array of cellular functions including intracellular signaling, proliferation and migration. Two members of the thrombospondin family, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) and thrombospondin 2 (TSP2) are studied extensively to determine their structure and function. While expressed at low levels in normal adult tissues their increased expression is seen predominantly in response to cellular perturbations. Despite structural similarities a notable functional difference between TSP1 and TSP2 includes the ability of former to activate of latent TGF-β and its competitive inhibition by the latter. Both these thrombospondins are reported to play important roles in TGF-β rich ocular environment with most reports related to TSP1. Expressed by many ocular cell types and detectable in the aqueous and vitreous humor TSP1 and TSP2 influence many cellular interactions in the eye such as angiogenesis, cell migration, wound healing, TGF-β activation and regulation of inflammatory immune responses. Together these processes are known to contribute to the immune privilege status of the eye. Emerging roles of TSP1 and TSP2 in ocular functions and pathology are reviewed here.
