We immunized rats with recombinant murine osteopontin protein and obtained four monoclonal antibodies recognizing distinct epitopes of murine osteopontin. OPN1.2 recognized the amino-terminal half of OPN, while OPN2.2, OPN2.3, and OPN3.1 recognized the carboxy-terminal half of OPN. The epitope recognized by OPN2.2 was destroyed by further cleavage of the carboxy half of OPN. The epitope recognized by OPN2.3 was located in the amino-terminal end of the carboxy half of OPN, whereas that recognized by OPN3.1 was located in the carboxy-terminal end of the carboxy half of OPN. OPN1.2 and OPN2.2 recognized thrombin-cleaved osteopontin, whereas thrombin-cleaved osteopontin was not recognized by OPN2.3 and OPN3.1. Thus, these monoclonal antibodies will be useful in structure/function studies of the role of osteopontin in murine models of disease.

The BALB/c model of pristane-induced lupus (PIL) exhibits cognitive impairment features resembling neuropsychiatric lupus (NPLSE). Osteopontin (OPN) is associated with disease activity in SLE; however, its involvement in NPLSE is not yet entirely determined. Our study aims to elucidate the contribution of full-length OPN (OPN-FL) plasma expression, OPN N-half, and to cognitive impairment in the PIL mice model.

Nephrotoxicity is a common adverse effect induced by various chemicals, necessitating the development of reliable toxicity screening models for nephrotoxicity assessment. In this study, we assessed a group of nephrotoxicity indicators derived from different toxicity pathways, including conventional endpoints and kidney tubular injury biomarkers such as clusterin (CLU), kidney injury molecule-I (KIM-1), osteopontin (OPN), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), using HK-2 and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived renal proximal tubular epithelial-like cells (PTLs). Among the biomarkers tested, OPN emerged as the most discerning and precise marker.

Background: A chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is considered to be an inflammatory and angiogenic disease. The CSDH outer membrane, which contains inflammatory cells, plays an important role in CSDH development. Osteopontin (OPN) is an extracellular matrix protein that is cleaved by thrombin, generating the N-terminal half of OPN, which is prominently involved in integrin signal transduction.

Objectives: We investigated the harmful effects of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) on learning and memory in the hippocampus and the ameliorative effects of melatonin (Mel).
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six adult male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: Group I, control; Group II, HFCS; and Group III, HFCS+Mel. HFCS form F55 was prepared as a 20% fructose syrup solution.
