Osteopontin Function in Pathology: Lessons from Osteopontin-Deficient Mice

Rittling, Susan R., Denhardt, David T.·1999·Nephron Experimental Nephrology

Abstract

Osteopontin (OPN) is a soluble secreted phosphoprotein that binds with high affinity to several different integrins. While numerous activities have been ascribed to OPN in vitro, and several in vivo functions have been suggested for the molecule, including much attention focused recently on OPN in different pathologies, the actual role that the protein plays in mammalian physiology remains conjectural. Analysis of recently developed strains of mice lacking OPN because of a targeted disruption of its gene promises to provide important information on this issue. Here, we review the data implicating OPN as functioning in a variety of pathologic conditions as well as the initial results generated with the OPN knockout mice, with particular focus on the question of whether OPN has a protective or a damaging effect in different pathologies. These data will be important to the definition of how OPN contributes to mammalian physiology and pathophysiology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
