Chen J, Zhu C, He Z, Geng M, Li G, Tao X, Zhang F.
PMID: 26221249
Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015 May 15;8(5):7116-24. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Osteopontin (OPN) is overexpressed in many human tumors and involved in promotion of cancer cells by regulating various facets of tumor progression such as cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. To understand roles of OPN in tumor progression of...

The role of Randall plaques on kidney stone formation.

Translational andrology and urology

Chung HJ.
PMID: 26816774
Transl Androl Urol. 2014 Sep;3(3):251-4. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2223-4683.2014.07.03.

Randall's plaque is microscopically a plaque of calcium deposited in the interstitial tissue of the renal papilla. These plaques are thought to serve as a nidus for urinary stone formation. Large amounts of Randall's plaque are unique to idiopathic...

Association between promoter polymorphisms of OPN gene and cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

OncoTargets and therapy

Liu J, He C, Yuan Q, Wang Z, Xing C, Yuan Y.
PMID: 26766914

BACKGROUND: Results of the association between polymorphisms of osteopontin (OPN) gene promoter region and risk of cancer were inconclusive. The aim of this meta-analysis was to elucidate whether OPN promoter polymorphisms were associated with cancer risk.METHODS: Electronic databases including...

Peripheral mononuclear blood cells contribute to the obesity-associated inflammatory state independently of glycemic status: involvement of the novel proinflammatory adipokines chemerin, chitinase-3-like protein 1, lipocalin-2 and osteopontin.

Genes & nutrition

Catalán V, Gómez-Ambrosi J, Rodríguez A, Ramírez B, Valentí V, Moncada R, Silva C, Salvador J, Frühbeck G.
PMID: 25869413
Genes Nutr. 2015 May;10(3):460. doi: 10.1007/s12263-015-0460-8. Epub 2015 Apr 14.

Inflammation is a critical contributor to the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders with adipose tissue being crucial in the inflammatory response by releasing multiple adipokines with either pro- or anti-inflammatory activities with potential functions as metabolic regulators. Peripheral blood mononuclear...

The ins and outs of osteopontin.

Oncoimmunology

Chiodoni C, Sangaletti S, Tripodo C, Colombo MP.
PMID: 25949895
Oncoimmunology. 2015 Apr 02;4(3):e978711. doi: 10.4161/2162402X.2014.978711. eCollection 2015 Mar.

The continuous remodeling of progressing tumors demands non-physiologic production of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Among them, osteopontin (OPN) has been largely involved in tumor progression and metastasis. We have recently discovered a new mechanism for OPN in the metastatic...

Effect of osteopontin on the mRNA expression of ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5 in chondrocytes from patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Gao SG, Zeng C, Song Y, Tian J, Cheng C, Yang T, Li H, Zhang FJ, Lei GH.
PMID: 26136925
Exp Ther Med. 2015 May;9(5):1979-1983. doi: 10.3892/etm.2015.2310. Epub 2015 Feb 24.

Previous studies have demonstrated that osteopontin (OPN) levels are elevated in the synovial fluid and articular cartilage, and are associated with the severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the role of OPN in the pathogenesis of OA has yet...

Genetic variations in the osteopontin promoters T-443C and G-156GG increase carotid intima-media thickness.

International journal of general medicine

Yueniwati Y, Yurina V, Sobah N, Rahayu E.
PMID: 27274305
Int J Gen Med. 2016 May 12;9:117-22. doi: 10.2147/IJGM.S94537. eCollection 2016.

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a clear predictor of atherosclerosis. The increase of CIMT is affected by mutations in the osteopontin (OPN) promoters. The purpose of this study was to examine genetic variations in OPN promoters T-443C and G-156GG,...

The expression of osteopontin with condylar remodeling in growing rats.

Clinical orthodontics and research

Sugiyama H, Imada M, Sasaki A, Ishino Y, Kawata T, Tanne K.
PMID: 11683808
Clin Orthod Res. 2001 Nov;4(4):194-9. doi: 10.1034/j.1600-0544.2001.40403.x.

It is suggested that osteopontin may promote osteoclast binding to resorptive sites by interacting with the alphavbeta3 receptor on osteoclasts. However, the role of osteopontin in functional remodeling of bony structures remains unclear. The present study was conducted to...

Angiotensin II: a regulator of inflammation during renal disease?.

International journal of immunopathology and pharmacology

Antus B, Exton MS, Rosivall L.
PMID: 12622886
Int J Immunopathol Pharmacol. 2001 Jan-Apr;14(1):25-30. doi: 10.1177/039463200101400105.

It has been recently recognized that besides its vasoactive actions Angiotensin II (Ang II) exerts various immunomodulatory effects that may contribute to renal injury and to the progression of renal disease. Consistent with this concept, Ang II facilitates macrophage...
