Associations of Tumor Suppressor SPARCL1 with Cancer Progression and Prognosis
Overview
Affiliations
SPARC-like protein 1 (SPARCL1), a member of the family of secreted proteins which is acidic and rich in cysteine, is a potential tumor suppressor gene in most types of tumor. A systemic review and bioinformatics analysis was carried out to determine the associations between SPARCL1 and tumor progression and clinical factors. Downregulation of SPARCL1, thought to be regulated by epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation, serves important functions in tumor progression and development, with its regulatory functions on cell viability, migration, invasion, cell adhesion and drug resistance. Downregulation of SPARCL1 was markedly associated with a poor overall survival rate of patients with one of ≥7 solid tumors and predicted increased mortality in patients with one of ≥4 distinct tumor types. The present review indicated that SPARCL1 may be a therapeutic target for cancer treatment and a biomarker to determine prognosis.
