* The konand kcvalues are converted to units used in the model: kon, (mol/cm3 tissue)-1 s-1 and kc, (mol/cm3 tissue)-1 s-1.The association rates (kon) are converted using the volume fraction of interstitial space relative to the total volume of the tumor tissue: 5.22 × 10-4 (mol/cm3 tissue)/M. The receptor-coupling rate(kc) represents the rate of association for receptors on a specific cell surface. Thus, there are differentconversions for receptors on tumor cells and endothelial cells (ECs), as the cells have different surface areas: 1534 cm2 tumor cell/cm3 tissue; 105 cm2 EC/cm3 tissue. The geometric factors are based on breast tumor xenografts. We assume the same tissue structure and geometry as in previous work25, where the derivation of these parameters can be found.
† Given a lack of quantitative measurements for TSP1 cleavage, we assumed the proteolysis rate to be the same as VEGF and multiply by the total concentration of species who act to proteolyze TSP1 (plasmin, elastase, and thrombin), ~4.5 nM26,27, accounting for the unbound, extracellular portions. This is similar to a rate estimated in a recent mathematical model28.
‡ For reactions whose dissociation rate constants were not directly known, we assumed a koff of 1 × 10-3 sec-1, which is consistent with measured off rates for the VEGF family14,29.
