The spontaneously increased VCAM-1 expression and leukocyte adhesion in retinas of TSP-1-deficient mice suggested a TSP-1-mediated regulation of VCAM-1 expression. In a chronic uveitis model, induced by immunizing wild-type mice with specific interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) peptide, topically applied TSP-1-derived CD47-binding peptide significantly reduced the clinical disease course and retinal leukocyte adhesion as compared to the control peptide-treated group. In contrast, in LPS-mediated acute uveitis, TSP-1 deficiency significantly reduced the retinal leukocyte adhesion. The results of our in vitro study, using vascular endothelial cell (EC) cultures, demonstrate that unlike TNF-α, VCAM-1 expression induced by IL-17 is associated with a reduced expression of endogenous TSP-1. Such reduced endogenous TSP-1 expression in IL-17-stimulated ECs helps limit the CD36-mediated increased VCAM-1 expression, while favoring CD47-mediated inhibition of VCAM-1 expression and leukocyte adhesion. Thus, our study identifies TSP-1:CD47 interaction as a molecular pathway that modulates IL-17-mediated VCAM-1 expression, contributing to its anti-inflammatory effect in chronic inflammatory conditions.
