Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine as A Regeneration Factor: Beyond the Tissue Repair.
2021
Diverse pathologies (inflammation, tissues injuries, cancer, etc.) and physiological conditions (obesity, physical activity, etc.) induce the expression/secretion of the matricellular protein, secrete protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC). SPARC contributes to the creation of an environment that is suitable for tissue regeneration through a variety of roles, including metabolic homeostasis, inflammation reduction, extracellular matrix remodeling and collagen maturation. Such a homeostatic environment optimizes tissue regeneration and improves tissues’ repair ability. These properties that SPARC has within the regeneration contexts could have a variety of applications, such as in obesity, cancer, sarcopenia, diabetes and bioengineering.
