Thrombospondin-1 inhibits alternative complement pathway activation in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis
8 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Complement activation is a relevant driver in the pathomechanisms of vasculitis. The involved proteins in the interaction between endothelia, complement, and platelets in these conditions are only partially understood. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), found in platelet α-granules and released from activated endothelial cells, interacts with factor H (FH) and vWF. However, to our knowledge, direct regulatory interaction...
