Autocrine Control of CD276 by SPARC in Liver Cancer and Its Contribution to Immune Escape and Resistance to Immunotherapy
ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently demonstrates resistance to immunotherapeutic interventions, a phenomenon largely linked to mechanisms of immune escape. Among the modulators of the tumor microenvironment, SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine), a matricellular glycoprotein, has been asso...
