Developmental appearance of thrombospondin in neonatal mouse skeletal muscle.

Immunocytochemical localization of the adhesive glycoprotein thrombospondin made in comparison with other components of extracellular matrices shows its sequential appearance in the mouse muscle endomysium during postnatal development. Thrombospondin, absent at birth, in contrast to laminin, type IV collagen and fibronectin, is progressively detected during the first month of neonatal life in the whole muscle extracellular matrix. Immunoblotting of thrombospondin showed the appearance 14 days after birth of a band migrating at 180 kDa corresponding to thrombospondin. A fragment of thrombospondin at 110 kDa was already present at birth, as was also a lower molecular mass band at 70 kDa. Another band at 50 kDa also appeared during development in muscle extracts. Clonal muscle cells in culture were able to synthesize thrombospondin but only at the myotube stage, since little thrombospondin was detected at the myoblast stage. These data show a development regulation of thrombospondin expression in muscle which correlates with muscle differentiation.
