pubmed:abstractText
SPARC (secreted protein, acidic, rich in cysteine) is a calcium-binding counteradhesive glycoprotein that has the potential to play an important role in promoting tumor progression and invasiveness. SPARC has been reported to be markedly down-regulated in ovarian carcinomas relative to the normal surface epithelium and has been suggested to act as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer. To more precisely define potential changes in SPARC expression associated with malignant transformation of the ovary, we compared the distribution of SPARC mRNA and protein expression in patient specimens of malignant and nonmalignant ovaries.
