SPARC, a matricellular protein that functions in cellular differentiation and tissue response to injury
Open accessAbstract
Matricellular proteins SPARC in ECM organizationVertebrate SPARC binds to a number of different ECM components including thrombospondin 1, vitronectin, entactin/nidogen, fibrillar collagens (types I, II, III, and V), and collagen type IV, the prevalent collagen in basement membranes (1).Therefore, SPARC has the potential to contribute to the organization of matrix in connective tissue as well as basement membranes.Interestingly, SPARC is expressed abundantly in basement membranes and in capsules that surround a variety of organs and tissues.In this regard, SPARC-null mice display early cataractogenesis, a phenotype with 100% penetrance (2).Transmission electron microscopy of lens epithelial cells in SPARC-null mice shows an intrusion of cellular processes into the basement membrane of the lens capsule, whereas wild-type lens epithelial cells exhibit a precise border at the cell-matrix interface (3).We have proposed that this phenotype reflects aberrant cell behavior or differentiation resulting from altered composition or structure of the basement membrane formed in the absence of SPARC.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
