Osteopontin (OPN) has been implicated in the pathology of several renal conditions. Recently, we demonstrated in vitro that aldosterone has important roles in collagen synthesis by inducing OPN (Irita J, Okura T, Kurata M, Miyoshi K, Fukuoka T, Higaki J. Hypertension 51: 507-513, 2008). The aim of the present study was to clarify the roles of OPN in aldosterone-mediated renal fibrosis by infusi...
We previously reported that H-ras-induced metastatic ability in murine NIH 3T3 cells is accompanied by increased expression of osteopontin (OPN). OPN is a secreted phosphoprotein that contains a GRGDS amino acid sequence, suggesting adhesive function, but the function of OPN in tumor cells remains poorly understood. Here we report that PAP2 cells (ras-transformed, metastatic NIH 3T3 cells) adhe...
Osteopontin (OPN) is abundantly expressed in human calcified arteries. To examine the role of OPN in vascular calcification, OPN mutant mice were crossed with matrix Gla protein (MGP) mutant mice. Mice deficient in MGP alone (MGP(-/-) OPN(+/+)) showed calcification of their arteries as early as 2 weeks (wk) after birth (0.33 +/- 0.01 mmol/g dry weight), and the expression of OPN in the calcifie...
Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional molecule highly expressed in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and it is specifically localized in and around inflammatory cells. OPN is a secreted adhesive molecule, and it is thought to aid in the recruitment of monocytes-macrophages and to regulate cytokine production in macrophages, dendritic cells, and T-cells. OPN has been classified as T...
Upregulation of osteopontin (OPN) is a characteristic of central nervous system pathologies. However, the role of OPN in inflammation is still controversial, since it can both prevent cell death and induce the migration of potentially damaging inflammatory cells. To understand the role of OPN in inflammation and cell survival, we expressed OPN, utilizing an adenoviral vector, in the caudoputame...
Osteopontin (OPN) is a glycoprotein that is secreted by osteoblasts and hematopoietic cells. OPN suppresses the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells in vitro and may regulate the hematopoietic stem cell pool. Increased serum OPN concentrations occur in chronic myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the present study, we analyzed the prognostic impact of OP...
The cytokine/extracellular matrix protein osteopontin (OPN/Eta-1) is an important component of cellular immunity and inflammation. It also acts as a survival, cell-adhesive, and chemotactic factor for endothelial cells. Here, subtractive suppression hybridization showed that serum-deprived murine aortic endothelial (MAE) cells transfected with the angiogenic fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) ov...
We study the effect of isoforms of osteopontin (OPN) on the nucleation and growth of crystals from a supersaturated solution of calcium and phosphate ions. Dynamic light scattering is used to monitor the size of the precipitating particles and to provide information about their concentration. At the ion concentrations studied, immediate precipitation was observed in control experiments with no ...
Focal brain ischemia induces inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, gliosis, and neovascularization. Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted glycoprotein that has been implicated in vascular injury by promoting cell adhesion, migration, and chemotaxis. To investigate the possible involvement of OPN in brain matrix remodeling after focal stroke, we examined the expression of OPN in ischemic cort...
Transmembrane 4 L6 family proteins have been known to promote cancer. In this study, we demonstrated that transmembrane 4 L6 family member 4 (TM4SF4), which is induced by γ-radiation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, is involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell (CSC) properties of NSCLC through the regulation of osteopontin (OPN). Forced TM4SF4 overe...
