Popis: Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) is generally assumed to suppress the growth of osteosarcoma through inhibiting angiogenesis; however, it is unclear whether TSP1 could affect the antitumor immunity against osteosarcoma. We aimed to explore the immune-related tumor-promoting effects of TSP1 and decipher its underlying mechanism. First, we identified that TSP1 regulated programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, which was related to the CD8
