Thrombospondin 4 (THBS4; TSP4), a crucial component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), serves as an important regulator of tissue homeostasis and various pathophysiological processes. As a member of the evolutionarily conserved thrombospondin family, THBS4 is a multidomain adhesive glycoprotein characterized by six distinct structural domains that mediate its diverse biological functions. Through dynamic interactions with various ECM components, THBS4 plays pivotal roles in cell adhesion, proliferation, inflammation regulation, and tissue remodeling, establishing it as a key modulator of microenvironmental organization. The transcription and translation of THBS4 gene, as well as the activity of the THBS4 protein, are tightly regulated by multiple signaling pathways and extracellular cues. Positive regulators of THBS4 include transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), interferon-γ (IFNγ), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP12/13), and other regulatory factors (such as B4GALNT1, ITGA2/ITGB1, PDGFRβ, etc.), which upregulate THBS4 at the mRNA and/or protein level. Conversely, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OXLDL) acts as a potent negative regulator of THBS4. This intricate regulatory network ensures precise spatial and temporal control of THBS4 expression in response to diverse physiological and pathological stimuli. Functionally, THBS4 acts as a critical signaling hub, influencing multiple downstream pathways essential for cellular behavior and tissue homeostasis. The best-characterized pathways include: (1) the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis, which THBS4 modulates through both direct and indirect interactions with integrins and growth factor receptors; (2) Wnt/β-catenin signaling, where THBS4 functions as either an activator or inhibitor depending on the cellular context; (3) the suppression of DBET/TRIM69, contributing to its diverse regulatory roles. These signaling connections position THBS4 as a master regulator of cellular responses to microenvironmental changes. Substantial evidence links aberrant THBS4 expression to a range of pathological conditions, including neoplastic diseases, cardiovascular disorders, fibrotic conditions, neurodegenerative diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and atopic dermatitis. In cancer biology, THBS4 exhibits context-dependent roles, functioning either as a tumor suppressor or promoter depending on the tumor type and microenvironment. In the cardiovascular system, THBS4 contributes to both adaptive remodeling and maladaptive fibrotic responses. Its involvement in fibrotic diseases arises from its ability to regulate ECM deposition and turnover. The diagnostic and therapeutic potential of THBS4 is particularly promising in oncology and cardiovascular medicine. As a biomarker, THBS4 expression patterns correlate significantly with disease progression and patient outcomes. Therapeutically, targeting THBS4-mediated pathways offers novel opportunities for precision medicine approaches, including anti-fibrotic therapies, modulation of the tumor microenvironment, and enhancement of tissue repair. This comprehensive review systematically explores three key aspects of THBS4 research(1) the fundamental biological functions of THBS4 in ECM organization; (2) its mechanistic involvement in various disease pathologies; (3) its emerging potential as both a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. By integrating recent insights from molecular studies, animal models, and clinical investigations, this review provides a framework for understanding the multifaceted roles of THBS4 in health and disease. The synthesis of current knowledge highlights critical research gaps and future directions for exploring THBS4-targeted interventions across multiple disease contexts. Given its unique position at the intersection of ECM biology and cellular signaling, THBS4 represents a promising frontier for the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies in precision medicine.

Aim To investigate the effects of bone-forming protein BMP9 on aerobic glycolysis,migration and invasion ability in triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and the underlying mechanisms.Methods The experimental group infected MDA-MB-231 cells with human BMP9 recombinant adenovirus(AdBMP9),while the control group infected cells with empty GFP adenovirus.Lactate,glucose and ATP as-say kits were used to detect glucose uptake,lactate and ATP production.The correlation between BMP9 and key glycolytic enzyme genes in pancarcinoma was ana-lyzed using GEPIA2 database.The mRNA expression levels of GLUT1,HK2,PKM2 and LDHA in MDA-MB-231 cells after overexpression of BMP9 were detec-ted by qRT-PCR.Potential targets of BMP9 inhibiting MDA-MB-231 aerobic glycolysis were analyzed in STRING database.The expression levels of HIF-1αand downstream protein were detected by Western blot.The changes of cell migration and invasion ability after different treatments were evaluated by the scratch heal-ing assay and Transwell assay.Results Compared with the control group,BMP9 down-regulated glucose uptake,lactate production,ATP level(P＜0.01),and inhibited HIF-1α and its downstream protein ex-pression in MDA-MB-231 cells.Overexpression of HIF-1α in rescue experiment reversed the inhibitory effect of BMP9 on aerobic glycolysis,migration and in-vasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.Conclu-sion BMP9 down-regulates HIF-1α to inhibit the aer-obic glycolysis and migration and invasion ability of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Aim To investigate the effects of autophagy regula-ted by LncRNA SNHG3 on the proliferation,migration,invasion and EMT of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods The expression of SNHG3 in breast cancer and breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was analyzed by bioinformatics and real-time fluores-cent quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR);RNAi technology was used to construct MCF-7 recombinant cell lines with knockdown SNHG3(siSNHG3)and control(siNC),and Western blot and cellular immunofluorescence were applied to detect autophagy markers;autophagosome lysosomal fusion inhibitor BafA1 or ear-ly autophagosome formation inhibitor 3-MA was employed to treat MCF-7 cells with or without SNHG3 knockdown,Western blot was used to detect the expression of LC3-Ⅱ or p62,and the effect on autophagic vesicle formation or autophagic degradation was observed;clone formation experiment,CCK8 experiment,wound healing experiment,and Transwell experiment were used to detect the effects of siSNHG3 combined or not combined with BafA1 or 3-MA on the proliferation,lateral migration,longitudi-nal migration,and invasion of MCF-7 cells.Western blot was used to detect its effect on the EMT of MCF-7 cells.Results Bioinformatics analysis and RT-qPCR confirmed that SNHG3 was highly expressed in breast cancer and breast cancer cell line MCF-7;Western blot and cellular immunofluorescence confirmed that knockdown of SNHG3 could activate autophagy in breast cancer;the clone formation,CCK-8,wound healing,and Tran-swell experiment confirmed that downregulation of SNHG3 ex-pression could inhibit tumor proliferation,migration,and inva-sion by activating autophagy;Western blot confirmed that SNHG3 promoted EMT process of breast cancer through negative regulation of autophagy.Conclusions SNHG3 is abnormally overexpressed in breast cancer and negatively regulates autoph-agy,and can enhance the proliferation,migration,invasion and EMT process of breast cancer cells through negatively regulating autophagy,suggesting that SNHG3 is a potential target for diag-nosis and treatment of breast cancer.
