Research Abstract

SPARC (Secreted Protein and Rich in Cysteine, osteonectin) is extracellular matrix protein. We identified effects of SPARC on prostate cancer.Expression of SPARC decreased with stromal cells derived from prostate cancer. SPARC inhibited the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and migrating ability by inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT. It came to light that the effects of these SPARC acted after SPARC bound to integrin beta 1 directly.
