The anticancer potential of thrombospondin-1 by inhibiting angiogenesis and stroma reaction during cervical carcinogenesis

Tumor growth is angiogenesis dependent. Angiogenic switch (the acquisition of an angiogenic phenotype) is essential for cervical carcinogenesis. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is an endogenous angiogenic inhibitor with multiple functional domains and interacting receptors. The disruption of TSP-1 fence (t...
