MACROPHAGE-DERIVED OSTEOPONTIN (SPP1) PROTECTS FROM NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by steatosis, lobular inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning degeneration and fibrosis, all of which increase the risk of progression to end-stage liver disease. Osteopontin (OPN, SPP1)

Macrophages in epididymal adipose tissue secrete osteopontin to regulate bone homeostasis
Epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) secretes an array of cytokines to regulate the metabolism of organs and tissues in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, but its effects on bone metabolism are not well understood. Here, we report that macrophages in

Osteopontin in Bone Metabolism and Bone Diseases
Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted phosphoprotein, is a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family of cell matrix proteins and participates in many biological activities. Studies have shown that OPN plays a role in bone

Interleukin-15 deficient rats have reduced osteopontin at the maternal-fetal interface
Introduction: Uterine Natural Killer (NK) cells are the predominant immune cells within the decidua during early pregnancy. These cells are thought to regulate aspects of decidualization and placental development, but their functions remain poorly ...

Genetic modifiers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major complication and leading cause of death in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DCM onset is variable, suggesting modifier effects of genetic or environmental factors.
