Enhanced expression of SPARC/osteonectin in the tumor-associated stroma of non-small cell lung cancer is correlated with markers of hypoxia/acidity and with poor prognosis of patients.
Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cystein (SPARC)/osteonectin is a nonstructural matricellular protein involved in cell-matrix interaction during tissue remodeling and embryonic development. Using a novel monoclonal antibody (10-255), we examined immunohistochemically the patterns of SPARC express...
