Scientific Data

Western Blot Detection of Human SPARC antibody by Western Blot. View Larger

Detection of Human SPARC by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human SPARC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF941) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for SPARC at approximately 43 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of Human SPARC by Simple WesternTM. Simple Western lane view shows lysates of MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for SPARC at approximately 57 kDa (as indicated) using 20 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human SPARC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF941) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

ELISA Human SPARC Antibody in ELISA Standard Curve. View Larger

Human SPARC ELISA Standard Curve. Recombinant Human SPARC protein was serially diluted 2-fold and captured by Mouse Anti-Human SPARC Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB941) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human SPARC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF941) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998) followed by Substrate Solution (Catalog # DY999) and stopping the enzymatic reaction with Stop Solution (Catalog # DY994).

Background: SPARC

SPARC, an acronym for “secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine”, is also known as osteonectin or BM-40 (1-5). It is the founding member of a family of secreted matricellular proteins with similar domain structure. The 286 amino acid (aa), 43 kDa protein contains an N-terminal acidic region that binds calcium, a follistatin domain that contains Kazal-like sequences, and a C-terminal extracellular calcium (EC) binding domain with two EF-hand motifs (1-5). Crystal structure modeling shows that residues implicated in cell binding, inhibition of cell spreading, and disassembly of focal adhesions cluster on one face of SPARC, while a collagen binding epitope and an N-glycosylation site are opposite this face (6). SPARC is produced by fibroblasts, capillary endothelial cells, platelets and macrophages, especially in areas of tissue morphogenesis and remodeling (3, 7). SPARC shows context-specific effects, but generally inhibits adhesion, spreading and proliferation, and promotes collagen matrix formation (3-5). For endothelial cells, SPARC disrupts focal adhesions and binds and sequesters PDGF and VEGF (3-5). SPARC is abundantly expressed in bone, where it promotes osteoblast differentiation and inhibits adipogenesis (5, 8). SPARC is potentially cleaved by metalloproteinases, producing an angiogenic peptide that includes the copper-binding sequence KGHK (7). Paradoxically, SPARC is highly expressed in many tumor types undergoing an endothelial to mesenchymal transistion; its expression, however, mainly decreases the likelihood of metastasis and confers sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation (4, 9-11). Stabilin-1, which is expressed on alternately activated macrophages, is the first SPARC receptor to be identified. It binds the SPARC EC domain and mediates endocytosis for degradation (12). Mature human SPARC shows 92%, 92%, 97%, 99%, 96%, and 85% aa identity with mouse, rat, canine, bovine, porcine, and chick SPARC, respectively.
