Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine deficiency ameliorates renal inflammation and fibrosis in angiotensin hypertensionMatthew J Socha
Vascular Biology Center, Medical College of Georgia, 1459 Laney Walker Blvd, CB 3306, Augusta, GA 30912, USA
Am J Pathol 171:1104-12. 2007..These results identify SPARC as an effector of ANG II signaling and suggest an important role for SPARC in mediating ANG II-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis...
SPARC regulates TGF-beta1-dependent signaling in primary glomerular mesangial cellsAleksandar Francki
Department of Vascular Biology, The Hope Heart Institute, Seattle, Washington 98104, USA
J Cell Biochem 91:915-25. 2004..That SPARC is directly involved in the regulation of the TGF-beta1 signaling cascade is consistent with the paradigm that matricellular proteins modulate interactions among cells, growth factors, and their respective receptors...
