Disease relevance of SPARC

 

High impact information on SPARC

 

Chemical compound and disease context of SPARC

 

Biological context of SPARC

  • The nucleotide sequence predicts that osteonectin contains 304 amino acids, including a 17-residue signal peptide [11].
  • The 27,900-Mr fragment did not bind Ca2+, and since biosynthetic studies with 32PO4(3-) did not show phosphorylation of porcine osteonectin, this fragment is likely to be highly acidic [12].
  • We propose that SPARC regulates endothelial barrier function through F-actin-dependent changes in cell shape, coincident with the appearance of intercellular gaps, that provide a paracellular pathway for extravasation of macromolecules [13].
  • In this study we show that SPARC modulates the progression of bovine aortic endothelial cells through the cell cycle [14].
  • Active preparations of SPARC bind to specific components of the extracellular matrix and cause mesenchymal cells to assume a rounded phenotype [14].
 

Anatomical context of SPARC

  • Osteonectin cDNA sequence reveals potential binding regions for calcium and hydroxyapatite and shows homologies with both a basement membrane protein (SPARC) and a serine proteinase inhibitor (ovomucoid) [11].
  • Finally, the osteonectin sequence shows near identity (greater than 90%) with another protein, SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine), secreted by mouse parietal endoderm [11].
  • On the other hand, osteonectin message was observed in tendon, a tissue in which little or no osteonectin protein is found in vivo [1].
  • To determine whether SPARC might influence endothelial permeability, we studied the effect of exogenous SPARC on the movement of 14C-labeled bovine serum albumin across postconfluent bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells [13].
  • Moreover, early passage rat aortic smooth muscle cells which have high levels of cGMP-dependent protein kinase were sensitive to hep I treatment, in contrast to passaged cGMP-dependent protein kinase deficient cells which were refractory to hep I or TNfnA-D treatment, but were sensitive to SPARC [15].
 

Associations of SPARC with chemical compounds

  • Eleven mg of 125I-osteonectin bound to 1.0 g of hydroxyapatite with a Kd of 8 X 10(-8) M [16].
  • However, unlike the bovine protein, porcine osteonectin did not bind selectively to hydroxyapatite when EDTA tissue extracts were used [12].
  • The purified protein migrated with an Mr of 40,300 on SDS/polyacrylamide gels and was similar to bovine osteonectin in both amino acid composition and in its ability to bind to hydroxyapatite in the presence of 4 M-guanidinium hydrochloride (GdmCl) [12].
  • However, bovine SPARC NH2-terminal sequence (1-56 residues) antibodies did not react with gp60, indicating that the endothelial cell-surface-associated albumin-binding protein gp60 was different from the secreted albumin-binding protein SPARC [17].
  • SPARC, a Ca(2+)-binding glycoprotein that is expressed during tissue morphogenesis and functions as an inhibitor of cell spreading in vitro, was found to induce the secretion of an Mr = 45,000 protein in bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells [18].
 

Physical interactions of SPARC

  • Further, osteoblastic cells on the grooved surfaces also displayed a strong labelling for fibronectin at the cytoplasmic extensions coupled with intense osteonectin expression in comparison to the rough surfaced implants [19].
 

Regulatory relationships of SPARC

  • SPARC stimulated the secretion of PAI-1 protein into the medium of subconfluent BAE cells, but not confluent BAE cells, in a dose- and time-dependent manner [18].
  • SPARC induces the expression of type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells [18].
