1	16310163	In this paper, we examined whether Ang II similarly upregulates TSP1 production and TSP1-dependent TGF-beta activation alone or in combination with high glucose concentrations.
2	16310163	Moreover, Ang II induction of TSP1 and increased TGF-beta activity were blocked by losartan, an antagonist of the Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptor.
3	16310163	The increase in TSP1 expression leads to increased TGF-beta activity upon Ang II and/or glucose treatment, since peptide antagonists of TSP1-mediated TGF-beta activation blocked Ang II and glucose-induced TGF-beta activation.
4	19397838	In response to high glucose, several of these transcription factors regulate the gene encoding the profibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor beta, as well as genes for a range of other proteins implicated in inflammation and extracellular matrix turnover, including thrombospondin 1, the chemokine CCL2, osteopontin, fibronectin, decorin, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and aldose reductase.
5	12644443	The TSP-1 antagonist LSKL peptide reduced bioactive TGF-beta and fibronectin, indicating the dependence of TGF-beta1 activation on TSP-1.
6	20164378	It is well established that thrombospondin1 (TSP1) is a major regulator of TGF-beta activation in renal and cardiac complications of diabetes.
7	20164378	Together, these data establish that glucose-mediated downregulation of PKG levels stimulates TSP1 expression and enhances TGF-beta activity and matrix protein expression, which can contribute to vascular remodeling in diabetes.
