Background

Osteopontin (OPN), previously called SPP1 (secreted phosphoprotein 1), Eta-1 (early T lymphocyte activation 1) or BSP (bone sialoprotein), is a secreted molecule in the SIBLING (small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein) family of non-collagenous matricellular proteins (1-3). Mouse OPN is synthesized as a 294 amino acid (aa) precursor protein with a 16 aa signal peptide and a 278 aa mature protein (3). Mature mouse OPN shares 79% and 64% aa sequence identity with rat and human OPN, respectively. OPN is highly acidic and has 26 potential Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites and a C‑terminal CD44 binding site (1-4). Depending on tissue-specific modification by O- and N-glycosylation, sulfation, phosphorylation and transglutamination, OPN can be detected at 45-75 kDa (5, 6). The central region of OPN contains RGD and non-RGD binding sites for multiple integrins (3, 4). Adjacent to the RGD motif is the sequence SLAYGLR (SVVYGLR in human) which serves as a cryptic binding site for additional integrins: it is masked in full length OPN but is exposed following OPN cleavage by thrombin in tumors and sites of tissue injury
(6-8). OPN can also be cleaved by MMP-3, -7, -9, and -12 within the SLAYGLR motif and at sites closer to the C-terminus (8, 9). OPN is widely expressed and is prominent in mineralized tissues. It inhibits bone mineralization and kidney stone formation, and promotes inflammation and cell ad­hesion and migration (1, 2, 4, 6). Its expression is up-regulat­ed during inflammation, obesity, atherosclerosis, cancer, and tissue damage, and contributes to the pathophysiology of these conditions (1, 2, 6, 9, 10).
