SPARC overexpression

The Alb/LF NP effectively promoted the brain accumulation of DDC/Cu-Fe, synergistically induced ferroptosis in glioma cells and activated anticancer immunity, thereby prolonging the survival of glioma-bearing mice. The nanoformulation of DDC/Cu-Fe provides a promising strategy that combines ferroptosis and metalloimmunology for glioma treatment.

Thus, this review supplements existing articles by detailing the research history and specific biological functions of GP60 or SPARC and research advances in the delivery of antitumor drugs using albumin as a carrier. Meanwhile, the deficiencies and future perspectives in the study of the interaction of albumin with GP60 and SPARC are also pointed out.

These results suggest that epithelial cells loosen their own binding with the extracellular matrix as well as stromal cells, facilitating the invasion of tumor cells into the adjacent stroma by activating cell competition. Our findings reveal a new mechanism by which EBV creates a pro-metastatic microenvironment by upregulating SPARC expression in NPC.

NSCLC patients with high SPARC expression could benefit more compared to low-SPARC-expression patients with cisplatin treatment. Overall, our comprehensive analysis of cell-specific APA events shed light on the regulatory mechanism of cell-specific oncogenes and provided opportunities for combination of APA-regulated therapeutic target and cell-specific therapy development.

Conclusions Although small sample size does not allow to obtain a significant conclusion, high SPARC expression along with disparate pattern of its location in the tumour microenvironment in women younger and older than screening-eligible population is an interesting finding which warrants further studies. It suggests that different pathways and mechanisms of DCIS progression can exist in young and old patients, at least partially regulated by the multifunctional SPARC.

In conclusion, SPARC is involved in tumor invasion, metastasis, immunosuppression, cancer cell stemness, and tumor angiogenesis, eventually impacting patient survival. Strategies targeting this gene may provide novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of MESO.

Analysis with the Timer database indicated that SPARC was closely associated with the proportion of 7 immune-cell infiltrates in gastric cancer. These findings indicated that high expression of SPARC may be a potential marker of tumorigenesis and metastasis in patients with gastric cancer.

Notch activation in AdCC contributes to bone metastasis through SPARC inhibition. The study results suggest that SPARC may represent a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target.

SPARC overexpression enhanced the sensitivity of SKM-1 cells to Ara-C and promoted cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, the mechanism of which may be related to the regulation of CPBP/MLKL pathway.

Blocking integrin αvβ3 and silencing ZEB1 revert both the SPARC-induced downregulation of E-cadherin and cell migration enhancement. We conclude that SPARC induces E-cadherin repression and enhances PCa cell migration through the integrin αvβ3/ZEB1 signaling pathway.

Finally, SPARC overexpression suppressed the inhibitory effect of miR-211-5p on CRC cell progression. MiR-211-5p suppressed the invasion, migration, proliferation, and progression of CRC cells through sponging SPARC-related growth factor pathways.

Conversely, the expression levels of EMT-related genes demonstrated the opposite trend in SPARC knockdown cells. To conclude, high expression of SPARC regulated by promoter hypomethylation promotes breast cancer cells migration and invasion, thus SPARC may act as an oncogene and serve as a potential target for breast cancer therapy.

Mechanically, SPARC promoted proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of CCA cells in vitro via activating the PI3K-AKT signaling. Overall, our integrated analysis revealed that SPARC plays a crucial role in CCA progression via the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, which suggests that targeting SPARC might represent a promising approach for improving CCA patient's clinical outcome.

However, in sorafenib-treated LIHC patients, the high SPARC expression predicts favorable prognosis... SPARC mRNAs were increased in LIHC tumor tissues, and SPARC overexpression may promote the liver cancer growth. Further studies are needed to clarify the potential prognostic value of SPARC, both in tissues and in circulation.

Overexpression of SPARC vectors promoted cancer cell development. SPARC affected the patient's disease development by regulating the biological behavior of the MM cells.

SPARC was highly expressed in DLBCL, and the overexpression of SPARC showed sound diagnostic value. More interestingly, the overexpression of SPARC might be a favorable prognostic biomarker for DLBCL, suggesting that SPARC might be an inducible factor in the development of DLBCL, and inducible SPARC was negative in some oncogenic pathways. All the evidence suggested that inducible SPARC might be a good diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for DLBCL.
