Expression of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a large extracellular matrix protein, has been associated with modulation of angiogenesis and tumor growth. Both pro- and anti-angiogenic properties of TSP-1 have been described, and the role of TSP-1 expression in the growth and progression of human breast cancer is not clear. Because estrogens cause progression of many breast cancers, and estradiol (E2) downregulates a TSP-1 receptor, we examined whether TSP-1 is regulated by estrogen and involved in tumor progression. E2 induced TSP-1 expression in T47-D and MCF-7 breast cancer cells in vitro within 3-6 h; the induction was blocked by the anti-estrogen ICI 182,780, indicating that estrogen receptors (ER) are necessary for this effect. Furthermore, E2 caused the production of TSP-1 protein from tumor cells in an ER-alpha–dependent manner. The E2-mediated TSP-1 RNA induction was dose-dependent and blocked by actinomycin D, indicating that the response to E2 was at least partly transcriptional. Transfection studies with deletion constructs of the TSP-1 promoter identified an estrogen-responsive region in the human TSP-1 promoter, located between -2200 and -1792 bp upstream of the transcription start site. An antibody against TSP-1 restricted the proliferation of E2-dependent MCF-7 cells in vitro and in vivo. A panel of breast cancer cells proliferated in the presence of low concentrations of exogenous TSP-1, whereas higher concentrations inhibited proliferation. A real-time PCR analysis showed that E2 also induced TSP-1 mRNA in the normal mammary glands of immature ovariectomized mice in an ER-dependent manner. In summary, we report the novel observation that TSP-1 production is directly controlled by estrogens in ER-positive breast cancer cells, and the released protein has pro-growth regulatory functions. Consequently, we propose that TSP-1 could be a therapeutic target for anti-tumor therapy in early-stage tumors.
