Targeting SPARC by lentivirus-mediated RNA interference inhibits cervical cancer cell growth and metastasis
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), a calcium-binding matricellular glycoprotein, is implicated in the progressions of some cancers. However, no information has been available to date regarding the function of SPARC...
