Abstract  摘要

Fibrosis is a pathological condition characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components in tissues and organs, leading to progressive architectural remodelling and contributing to the development of various diseases. Osteopontin (OPN), a highly phosphorylated glycoprotein, has been increasingly recognized for its involvement in the progression of tissue fibrosis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the genetic and protein structure of OPN and focuses on our current understanding of the role of OPN in the development of fibrosis in the lungs and other tissues. Additionally, special attention is given to the potential of OPN as a biomarker and a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of fibrosis.
纤维化是一种病理状况,特征是细胞外基质成分在组织和器官中过度沉积,导致建筑结构发生进行性重塑,并促进各种疾病的发展。骨粘蛋白(OPN)是一种高度磷酸化的糖蛋白,其在组织纤维化进程中的参与已逐步得到认识。本文综述了 OPN 的遗传和蛋白结构,并着重阐述了 OPN 在肺部和其他组织纤维化发展中的作用。此外,本文还特别关注 OPN 作为生物标志物和治疗纤维化的新靶点的潜力。

1. Introduction  1. 简介

Human fibrotic diseases constitute a significant human health problem, reflecting a global unmet medical need for therapeutic options [1]. Fibrosis is defined by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by myofibroblasts that supersedes normal wound healing responses to injury and leads to fibrotic remodelling, organ destruction and ultimately organ failure [2,3]. Fibrosis can affect virtually every organ system, and it can be detected after tissue injury in the lungs, liver, kidney, heart and skin. However, the early stage of
人类纤维化疾病构成了一个重大的人类健康问题,反映了对治疗选择存在着全球未满足的医疗需求[1]。纤维化被定义为肌纤维母细胞产生的细胞外基质(ECM)的过度沉积,超过了伤害后正常的创伤愈合反应,导致纤维化重塑、器官破坏和最终器官衰竭[2,3]。纤维化可以影响几乎所有器官系统,可在肺、肝、肾、心和皮肤组织受伤后检测到。然而,早期的
fibrosis is challenging to diagnose since symptoms of organ dysfunction only occur when the organ is already moderately to severely compromised. Fibrosis is commonly associated with severe mortality due to incomplete knowledge of the pathogenesis of fibrotic processes, marked heterogeneity in disease aetiology and clinical presentations, the absence of appropriate and fully validated biomarkers, and, most importantly, a lack of available effective treatments [3]. Consequently, there is an urgent need for standardized diagnostic tools to detect early-stage fibrosis development and effective antifibrotic strategies grounded in well-established underlying mechanisms.
纤维化诊断具有挑战性,因为器官功能障碍的症状只有在器官已中度到重度受损的情况下才会出现。纤维化通常与严重的死亡率相关,这是由于对纤维化过程发病机制的知识不完整、疾病病因和临床表现的高度异质性、缺乏适当和完全验证的生物标志物,最重要的是缺乏有效的治疗手段[3]。因此,急需标准化的诊断工具来检测早期纤维化的发展,以及基于良好确立的潜在机制的有效抗纤维化策略。

OPN transcripts have two starting points to generate secreted or/and intracellular forms. Alternative splicing of full-length Spp1 pre-mRNA results in five isoforms. All human OPN isoforms retain critical OPN domains and sites, such as the calcium-binding domain, heparin-binding domain, cleavage sites for thrombin and matrix metalloprotease, and domains with the amino acid sequences ELVTDFPTDLPAT, RGD and SVVYGLR. The receptor-interacting domains and the respective receptors for these domains are shown. Abbreviations: eex, extra exon.

Osteopontin (OPN), which is also referred to as bone sialoprotein 1 (BSP-1) and early T lymphocyte activation 1 (ETA-1), is a highly phosphorylated glycoprotein that is traditionally well recognized as an essential regulator of biomineralization and was first identified in bone tissue in 1986 [4,5]. The prefix “osteo-” is derived from “bone” and the suffix “-pontin” means “bridge”, indicating the role of OPN as a bridging protein within the bone ECM. Indeed, OPN is expressed by a wide variety of cell types. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that OPN can act as an ECM component, a soluble cytokine or an intracytoplasmic molecule involved in mineralization, inflammation, immune response, and wound healing associated with a variety of pathophysiological processes that play crucial roles in tissue remodelling [6,7].
骨桥蛋白(OPN)，也称为骨硅蛋白 1(BSP-1)和早期 T 淋巴细胞激活 1(ETA-1)，是一种高度磷酸化的糖蛋白，传统上被认为是生物矿化的关键调节因子，于 1986 年首次在骨组织中发现[4,5]。"骨骼"前缀来自"骨骼"，"桥"后缀意味着 OPN 在骨基质中起到桥梁作用。事实上,OPN 由多种细胞类型表达。越来越多的证据表明,OPN 可作为细胞外基质成分、可溶性细胞因子或参与矿化、炎症、免疫反应和创伤愈合的胞内分子,在组织重塑的各种病理生理过程中起关键作用[6,7]。
Over the past decades, studies have indicated close links between OPN and fibrotic diseases. Notably, relatively high local levels of OPN were found in fibrotic lungs, liver, kidney, heart and other tissues, indicating its potential involvement in the development of fibrosis. This review summarizes the current understanding of how OPN affects the development and severity of fibrosis in different organs and tissues. Additional discussions focus on its potential as a biomarker and novel therapeutic target for fibrotic diseases.
过去几十年的研究表明,OPN 与纤维化疾病存在密切联系。值得注意的是,纤维化肺、肝、肾、心等组织中发现 OPN 局部水平相对较高,表明它可能参与了纤维化的发展。本文综述了 OPN 如何影响不同器官和组织纤维化的发展及其严重程度的现有认知。此外,还讨论了它作为生物标志物和治疗纤维化疾病的新靶点的潜力。

2. General features of OPN
2. OPN 的一般特点

OPN, which is a negatively charged and highly acidic protein, belongs to the small integrin-binding ligand N -linked glycoprotein
OPN 是一种带有负电荷且高度酸性的蛋白质,属于小型整合素结合配体 N-连接糖蛋白
(SIBLING) protein family based on biochemical and genetic features rather than standard functions [8]. The functions of OPN are based on its gene polymorphisms, posttranslational modifications (PTMs) (phosphorylation, O-linked glycosylation, sialylation, and tyrosine sulfation), splice variants, binding domains and cleavage.
基于生化和遗传特征而非标准功能的(同胞)蛋白质家族[8]。OPN 的功能基于其基因多态性、翻译后修饰(磷酸化、O-连接糖基化、唾液酸化和酪氨酸磺酸化)、剪接变体、结合域和切割。

2.1. The OPN gene
2.1. OPN 基因

In humans, OPN is encoded by the secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1) gene on chromosome 4 near the centromere (4q22.1), which spans 7.8 kilobases and is composed of seven exons and six introns [9]. In contrast, the mouse Spp1 gene is located on chromosome 5 and has an approximately 6 kilobases coding region, including eight exons [10]. Human Spp1 is ∼ 84 % ∼ 84 % ∼84%\sim 84 \% homologous to the mouse Spp1 gene [9,11]. In the human Spp1 gene, the first exon is untranslated, and exons 2 − 7 2 − 7 2-72-7 contain the coding sequences [6]: exon 2 contains part of the 5 ’ UTR, the signal peptide, and the first two amino acids (aa) of the mature protein; exon 3 contains diverse consensus sequences for serine phosphorylation and the EESS consensus sequence for casein kinase II; exon 4 contains the target sequence for transglutaminase, and can bind to the ECM via a transglutaminase linkage to facilitate cellular attachment and tissue calcification; exon 5 generally contains the second phosphorylation EESS consensus site for casein kinase II; and exons 6 and 7 typically encode more than 80 % 80 % 80%80 \% of each protein and contain three integrin domains [9, 12] (Fig. 1). Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the Spp1 gene in
在人类中,OPN 由位于第 4 号染色体近着丝粒的分泌磷蛋白 1(Spp1)基因编码(4q22.1),该基因跨越 7.8 千碱基,由七个外显子和六个内含子组成[9]。相比之下,小鼠 Spp1 基因位于第 5 号染色体,编码区约为 6 千碱基,包括八个外显子[10]。人类 Spp1 与小鼠 Spp1 基因高度同源[9,11]。在人类 Spp1 基因中,第一个外显子未被翻译,外显子 2 − 7 2 − 7 2-72-7 包含编码序列[6]:外显子 2 包含部分 5'非翻译区、信号肽和成熟蛋白的前两个氨基酸(aa);外显子 3 包含多个丝氨酸磷酸化共识序列以及酪蛋白激酶 II 的 EESS 共识序列;外显子 4 包含转谷氨酰胺酶的靶序列,可通过转谷氨酰胺酶的连接与细胞外基质结合,以促进细胞粘附和组织钙化;外显子 5 通常包含酪蛋白激酶 II 的第二个磷酸化 EESS 共识位点;而外显子 6 和 7 通常编码每个蛋白质的 80 % 80 % 80%80 \% 以上,并包含三个整合素结构域[9,12](图 1)。Spp1 基因的单核苷酸多态性在
humans and mice influence OPN protein expression, and the human Spp1 gene participates in cancer and autoimmune disease development, progression, and prognosis [6,9,13].
人类和小鼠影响 OPN 蛋白表达,人类 Spp1 基因参与肿瘤和自身免疫疾病的发展、进展和预后。[6,9,13]

2.2. OPN protein structure
2.2. OPN 蛋白质结构

The human OPN protein consists of approximately 314 aa, and its apparent molecular weight ranges from 40 to 80 kDa due to alternative splicing and PTMs [14]. Similarly, the full-length mouse OPN protein consists of 294 aa and exhibits a comparable molecular weight range of 40 − 80 kDa 40 − 80 kDa 40-80kDa40-80 \mathrm{kDa}, as shown by SDS-PAGE [10]. Although the OPN peptide sequences in humans and mice share only 63 % 63 % 63%63 \% homology, several structures and motifs in OPN are highly conserved across species [15]. Additionally, OPN lacks a well-defined tertiary structure and often lacks a secondary structure, exhibiting eight α α alpha\alpha-helices and six β β beta\beta-sheets [16, 17].
人类 OPN 蛋白约由 314 个氨基酸组成,由于替代剪接和翻译后修饰,其表观分子量在 40 至 80kDa 之间[14]。同样,全长小鼠 OPN 蛋白由 294 个氨基酸组成,其分子量范围也在 40 − 80 kDa 40 − 80 kDa 40-80kDa40-80 \mathrm{kDa} 之间,如 SDS-PAGE 所示[10]。尽管人类和小鼠 OPN 肽序列的同源性仅为 63 % 63 % 63%63 \% ,但 OPN 中的几种结构和结构域在物种之间高度保守[15]。此外,OPN 缺乏明确的三级结构,通常也缺乏二级结构,呈现八个 α α alpha\alpha -螺旋和六个 β β beta\beta -折叠[16,17]。
Depending on differences in alternative splicing and the site of initiation of the Spp1 pre-mRNA, OPN has different isoforms. Alternative splicing of full-length Spp1 pre-mRNA results in 5 isoforms, which are mainly studied as human OPN: OPN-a (the full-length isoform; 314 aa), OPN-b (lacking exon 5; 300 aa), OPN-c (lacking exon 4; 287 aa), OPN-4 (lacking exons 4 and 5; 273 aa), and OPN-5 (with an extra exon involved in the retention of a portion of intron 3 and a different start codon; lacking exon 2 and exon 3; 327 aa) [9,11] (Fig. 1). OPN-c is not able to crosslink and form polymeric complexes because of a lack of exon 4 [12]. Intracellular OPN (i-OPN) is another truncated version lacking the signal peptide (aa 1-16) transcription due to the initiation of translation from a downstream noncanonical start codon that prevents OPN secretion [18] (Fig. 1). Mouse and human OPN were identified in the cytoplasm and nucleus of cells. Different OPN isoforms have different physiological and pathological functions. However, most data on fibrotic diseases refer to total OPN, including the different OPN isoforms, and reports describing the expression and roles of each OPN isoform are scarce.
根据 Spp1 前体 mRNA 的可选择性剪接和起始位点的不同,OPN 具有不同的等位基因。Spp1 全长前体 mRNA 的可选择性剪接产生 5 种等位基因,主要研究作为人 OPN:OPN-a(全长等位基因;314 氨基酸)、OPN-b(缺失第 5 外显子;300 氨基酸)、OPN-c(缺失第 4 外显子;287 氨基酸)、OPN-4(缺失第 4 和第 5 外显子;273 氨基酸)以及 OPN-5(涉及保留部分第 3 内含子和不同起始密码子的额外外显子;缺失第 2 和第 3 外显子;327 氨基酸)[9,11](图 1)。由于缺失第 4 外显子,OPN-c 无法交联并形成聚合物[12]。不含信号肽(1-16 氨基酸)的截短版本 i-OPN 是另一种由于从下游非经典起始密码子启动翻译而无法分泌的 OPN[18](图 1)。小鼠和人类 OPN 在细胞的细胞质和核中都有发现。不同的 OPN 等位基因具有不同的生理和病理功能。然而,大多数关于纤维化疾病的数据涉及总的 OPN,包括不同的 OPN 等位基因,而描述每种 OPN 等位基因的表达和作用的报告很少。
OPN proteins exert physiological and pathological effects through the binding of their domains to the corresponding ligands. Integrins and CD44 receptors are among the known binding partners of OPN. There are three integrin domains in human OPN near the N -terminus: the nonconserved ELVTDFPTDLPAT (aa 131-143) domain acts as ligands for α 4 β 1 α 4 β 1 alpha4beta1\alpha 4 \beta 1 integrins [19]; the conserved arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) domain (aa 159-161) mainly engages α v β 1 , α v β 3 , α v β 5 α v β 1 , α v β 3 , α v β 5 alpha_(v)beta1,alpha_(v)beta3,alpha_(v)beta5\alpha_{v} \beta 1, \alpha_{v} \beta 3, \alpha_{v} \beta 5, α v β 6 α v β 6 alpha_(v)beta6\alpha_{v} \beta 6, α v β 8 , α 5 β 1 α v β 8 , α 5 β 1 alpha_(v)beta8,alpha5beta1\alpha_{\mathrm{v}} \beta 8, \alpha 5 \beta 1 and α 8 β 1 α 8 β 1 alpha8beta1\alpha 8 \beta 1 integrins [20]; and thrombin cleaves OPN at a conserved site ( 168 RS 169 ) 168 RS 169 (^(168)RS^(169))\left({ }^{168} \mathrm{RS}^{169}\right) and exposes a cryptic SVVYGLR (aa 162-168; SLAYGLR in mouse) domain that allows for the interaction between OPN and integrin receptors α 4 β 1 , α 4 β 7 α 4 β 1 , α 4 β 7 alpha4beta1,alpha4beta7\alpha 4 \beta 1, \alpha 4 \beta 7 and α 9 β 1 α 9 β 1 alpha9beta1\alpha 9 \beta 1 [21-23]. In addition, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-7 cleave OPN at the site ( 166 GL 167 ) 166 GL 167 (^(166)GL^(167))\left({ }^{166} \mathrm{GL}^{167}\right) of the SVVYGLR domain, and the cleaved product is recognized by α 4 β 1 α 4 β 1 alpha4beta1\alpha 4 \beta 1 integrin [24]. There is one calcium-binding domain (aa 216 − 228 216 − 228 216-228216-228 ) and two heparin-binding domains (aa 165-174 and aa 298-305) near the C-terminus that can be recognized by the v3, v6, and v7 splice variants of CD44 [11,25] (Fig. 1). Interestingly, the thrombin and MMP-3/7 cleavage domains are located close to one heparin-binding domain (aa 165-174). Therefore, heparin binding to the domain may block access to thrombin and MMP-3/7 and maintain the full-length form of OPN.
OPN 蛋白通过与相应配体结合其结构域而产生生理和病理效应。整合素和 CD44 受体是 OPN 已知的结合伙伴。人类 OPN 靠近 N 端有三个整合素结合域:不保守的 ELVTDFPTDLPAT(氨基酸 131-143)域作为 α 4 β 1 α 4 β 1 alpha4beta1\alpha 4 \beta 1 整合素的配体;保守的精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸(RGD)域(氨基酸 159-161)主要与 α v β 1 , α v β 3 , α v β 5 α v β 1 , α v β 3 , α v β 5 alpha_(v)beta1,alpha_(v)beta3,alpha_(v)beta5\alpha_{v} \beta 1, \alpha_{v} \beta 3, \alpha_{v} \beta 5 、 α v β 6 α v β 6 alpha_(v)beta6\alpha_{v} \beta 6 、 α v β 8 , α 5 β 1 α v β 8 , α 5 β 1 alpha_(v)beta8,alpha5beta1\alpha_{\mathrm{v}} \beta 8, \alpha 5 \beta 1 和 α 8 β 1 α 8 β 1 alpha8beta1\alpha 8 \beta 1 整合素结合;凝血酶在一个保守位点 ( 168 RS 169 ) 168 RS 169 (^(168)RS^(169))\left({ }^{168} \mathrm{RS}^{169}\right) 切割 OPN,暴露出一个隐藏的 SVVYGLR(氨基酸 162-168;小鼠中为 SLAYGLR)域,允许 OPN 与整合素受体 α 4 β 1 , α 4 β 7 α 4 β 1 , α 4 β 7 alpha4beta1,alpha4beta7\alpha 4 \beta 1, \alpha 4 \beta 7 和 α 9 β 1 α 9 β 1 alpha9beta1\alpha 9 \beta 1 相互作用。另外,基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-3 和 MMP-7 在 SVVYGLR 域的位点 ( 166 GL 167 ) 166 GL 167 (^(166)GL^(167))\left({ }^{166} \mathrm{GL}^{167}\right) 切割 OPN,切割产物被 α 4 β 1 α 4 β 1 alpha4beta1\alpha 4 \beta 1 整合素识别。靠近 C 端有一个结合钙的域(氨基酸 216 − 228 216 − 228 216-228216-228 )和两个结合肝素的域(氨基酸 165-174 和 298-305),可被 CD44 的 v3、v6 和 v7 剪接体识别。有趣的是,凝血酶和 MMP-3/7 的切割位点靠近一个肝素结合域(氨基酸 165-174)。因此,肝素与该结合域的结合可能阻碍凝血酶和 MMP-3/7 的作用,维持 OPN 的完整形式。

3. Distribution and physiological function of OPN
3. OPN 的分布和生理功能

OPN is produced by a variety of cell types, including B cells, T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, NKT lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells (DCs), bone cells (osteoblasts and osteocytes), epithelial cells, and neurons, and OPN has been detected in human lungs, liver, bone, joint, brain and adipose tissue. Most Spp1 encodes signal peptides that mediate cellular secretion and accumulation in blood, urine, bile, and milk [ 6 , 7 ] [ 6 , 7 ] [6,7][6,7]. The many distribution sites of OPN reflect the involvement of OPN in multiple physiological processes. The binding of OPN to
OPN 由各种细胞类型产生,包括 B 细胞、T 细胞、自然杀伤(NK)细胞、NKT 淋巴细胞、巨噬细胞、中性粒细胞、树突状细胞(DC)、骨细胞(成骨细胞和骨细胞)、上皮细胞和神经元,OPN 已在人类肺、肝、骨骼、关节、大脑和脂肪组织中检测到。大多数 Spp1 编码信号肽,介导细胞分泌并在血液、尿液、胆汁和乳汁中积累。OPN 分布广泛反映了其在多种生理过程中的参与。OPN 与
integrins or CD44 participates in mineralization, the immune response and wound healing by activating signalling pathways that regulate cell proliferation, adhesion and migration.
整合素或 CD44 参与矿化、免疫反应和创伤愈合,通过激活调节细胞增殖、黏附和迁移的信号通路来实现。
OPN enhances the adhesion of osteoblasts and osteoclasts to the bone matrix and stimulates osteoclast activity through interactions with the OPN receptors α v β 3 α v β 3 alpha v beta3\alpha v \beta 3 and CD44, resulting in bone resorption [26-28]. Additionally, OPN is secreted by osseous cells and regulates the functions of monocyte-derived cells, including phagocytic macrophages, which play a role in the resorption process [29]. Furthermore, in studies involving OPN-knockout ( OPN − / OPN − / OPN^(-//)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/}) mice, enhanced mineralization has been observed in bone and calcified cartilage [30], atherosclerosis [31] and kidney tubules [32]. That is, OPN suppresses hydroxyapatite accumulation and crystal growth during mineralization.
骨鞘蛋白(OPN)通过与 OPN 受体 α v β 3 α v β 3 alpha v beta3\alpha v \beta 3 和 CD44 的相互作用,增强成骨细胞和破骨细胞对骨基质的粘附性,并刺激破骨细胞活性,导致骨吸收[26-28]。此外,OPN 也由骨组织细胞分泌,调节单核细胞衍生细胞(包括吞噬性巨噬细胞)的功能,这些细胞在骨吸收过程中起作用[29]。此外,在涉及 OPN 敲除( OPN − / OPN − / OPN^(-//)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/} )小鼠的研究中,观察到骨骼和钙化软骨[30]、动脉粥样硬化[31]和肾小管[32]中矿化的增强。也就是说,OPN 抑制羟基磷灰石的积累和结晶生长,从而抑制矿化。
OPN also regulates immunity under physiological conditions. Its regulatory role is particularly evident in the development of proinflammatory T helper (Th) type-1 and Th17 cells. Specifically, OPN induces the hypomethylation of interferon- γ γ gamma\gamma (IFN- γ γ gamma\gamma ) and interleukin (IL)17a, enhancing the differentiation of Th1 and Th17 cells by interacting with CD44 in Th cells. Furthermore, OPN promotes the Th1-mediated inflammatory response and increases IL-17 production by Th17 cells [33]. In DCs, i-OPN inhibits IL-27 expression while enhancing the response of Th17 cells [6]. Additionally, OPN mediates the chemotactic properties of macrophages, DCs, mast cells, and T cells, stimulates antibody production by B cells, regulates nitric oxide production, and facilitates efficient type-1 immune responses [26,33-35]. Numerous studies have explored the relationship between OPN and the immune response, and for further in-depth discussions on this topic, we recommend referring to several outstanding review articles [ 6 , 10 , 36 ] [ 6 , 10 , 36 ] [6,10,36][6,10,36].
骨桥蛋白(OPN)在生理条件下也调节免疫。其调节作用尤其表现在促炎性 T 辅助(Th)1 型和 Th17 细胞的发育中。具体而言,OPN 诱导干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)和白细胞介素(IL)17a 的去甲基化,通过与 Th 细胞上的 CD44 相互作用,增强 Th1 和 Th17 细胞的分化。此外,OPN 还促进 Th1 介导的炎症反应,并增加 Th17 细胞分泌 IL-17[33]。在树突状细胞(DCs)中,i-OPN 抑制 IL-27 的表达,同时增强 Th17 细胞的反应[6]。另外,OPN 介导巨噬细胞、DCs、肥大细胞和 T 细胞的趋化性,刺激 B 细胞产生抗体,调节一氧化氮的产生,并促进有效的 1 型免疫反应[26,33-35]。许多研究已探讨了 OPN 与免疫反应之间的关系,对这一主题的深入讨论,我们建议参考几篇优秀的综述文章[code2]。
Another significant physiological function of OPN is its involvement in the promotion of wound healing, which has garnered considerable attention. Studies have demonstrated that OPN expression is increased during wound healing compared to that in healthy skin. In a study by Liaw and colleagues, OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-}mice exhibited healed wounds with a less organized matrix characterized by reduced collagen fibres, less organized arrangement, and decreased fibril diameters [37]. Ken-ichi’s study showed that cuts in the corneas of OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-}mice experienced delayed healing, a reduced presence of fibroblasts and reduced expression of transforming growth factor- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 (TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 ), resulting in an increased incidence of corneal perforation [38]. OPN facilitates the mobilization of bone marrow-derived stem cells into wounds by interacting with CD44, thereby promoting their transdifferentiation into multiple skin cell types that contribute to wound repair [39]. Additionally, OPN plays a role in the recruitment, regulation and differentiation of (myo)fibroblasts, facilitating the proper deposition of ECM components and collagen during wound healing [40]. Notably, while OPN is essential for proper wound healing, prolonged production or excessive levels of OPN can lead to fibrosis and excess scar formation, which is discussed in the subsequent section.
另一个 OPN 的重要生理功能是在伤口愈合过程中的参与,这引起了人们的广泛关注。研究表明,与健康皮肤相比,OPN 在伤口愈合过程中的表达水平会增加。在 Liaw 和同事的研究中, OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-} 小鼠的愈合伤口表现出较不规整的基质,特征为胶原纤维减少、排列无序以及纤维直径降低[37]。Ken-ichi 的研究显示, OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-} 小鼠角膜切口愈合延迟,成纤维细胞的数量减少,以及转化生长因子- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 (TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 )表达降低,导致角膜穿孔发生率增加[38]。OPN 通过与 CD44 相互作用,促进骨髓源性干细胞向伤口的转移,从而推动其向多种皮肤细胞类型的跨分化,对伤口修复有贡献[39]。此外,OPN 在(肌)成纤维细胞的 recruitment、调控和分化中发挥作用,促进细胞外基质成分和胶原的适当沉积,从而推进伤口愈合[40]。值得注意的是,尽管 OPN 对适当的伤口愈合至关重要,但其持续过度产生或过高水平会导致纤维化和瘢痕形成过度,这在后续部分中有所讨论。
Moreover, recent studies on OPN have provided strong evidence for its essential roles in infant intestinal proliferation and maturation, brain myelination, neurodevelopment, and immune development when present in breast milk [41-43]. These findings highlight the biotransformational value of OPN in breast milk.
此外,近期关于 OPN 的研究为其在婴儿肠道增殖和成熟、脑髓鞘化、神经发育以及免疫发育中的关键作用提供了有力证据[41-43]。这些发现突出了 OPN 在母乳中的生物转化价值。

4. Roles of OPN in fibrotic diseases
4. OPN 在纤维性疾病中的作用

The association of OPN with the progression of fibrotic disease has recently attracted attention, resulting in accumulating evidence. In general, high levels of OPN correlate with a more severe phenotype and a worse prognosis for fibrotic diseases. In this section, we review studies on pulmonary fibrosis and other fibrotic diseases, and there is a plethora of literature related to OPN.
骨利蛋白(OPN)与纤维性疾病进展的关联近来引起了关注,并产生了大量的证据。通常,OPN 水平较高与更严重的表型和纤维性疾病预后较差相关。在本节中,我们回顾了肺纤维化和其他纤维性疾病的研究,并且与 OPN 相关的文献资料丰富。

disease with different causes. Clinically, pulmonary fibrosis is commonly divided into idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with unknown aetiology and secondary pulmonary fibrosis with known aetiology, such as connective tissue disease (CTD), drugs, dust, and infection. The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis includes but is not limited to three main contributing factors [44-48]: (1) repetitive epithelial injury with progenitor cell dysfunction; (2) persistent inflammatory and immune responses by immune cells due to long-term injury; and (3) the differentiation and activation of (myo)fibroblasts, which are the central producers of the ECM, resulting in irreversible changes to lung morphology leading to impaired pulmonary function and high mortality rates.
肺纤维化是具有不同病因的疾病。从临床上来看,肺纤维化通常分为特发性肺纤维化(IPF)和继发性肺纤维化两种,其中特发性肺纤维化病因不明,继发性肺纤维化则有明确病因,如胶原血管病、药物、粉尘和感染等。肺纤维化的发病机制主要包括但不限于三大因素:1)上皮细胞反复受损、干细胞功能障碍;2)长期受损致使免疫细胞持续炎症和免疫反应;3)成纤维细胞及肌成纤维细胞的分化和激活,这些细胞是细胞外基质的主要产生者,导致肺形态学发生不可逆的变化,从而引起肺功能受损,死亡率较高。
Under physiological conditions, OPN expression in adult lung tissue is primarily limited to macrophages, bronchioles, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells and occurs at low levels. In an inflammatory environment in the lung, cytokines such as monocyte colony-stimulating factor (MCSF), IL-6, IL-1 β β beta\beta, and IL-33 have been shown to upregulate OPN expression [49-52]. During lung fibrogenesis, the airway epithelium, alveolar macrophages, and activated fibroblasts are major sources of OPN production [49,53-55]. Additionally, there is a notable increase in OPN expression in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and this increase is correlated with the severity of fibrosis [56-58] (Fig. 2). Inhibiting OPN reduces fibrosis severity in animal models of pulmonary fibrosis [59-63]. Previous studies have indicated that the mechanistic association between OPN and pulmonary fibrosis primarily involves progenitor cell repair, immunoregulation, and the facilitation of myofibroblast differentiation and activation.
在生理条件下,成人肺组织中 OPN 的表达主要局限于巨噬细胞、细支气管、成纤维细胞和内皮细胞,且表达水平较低。在肺部炎症环境中,单核细胞集落刺激因子(MCSF)、IL-6、IL-1 和 IL-33 等细胞因子已被证明可上调 OPN 的表达[49-52]。在肺纤维化过程中,气道上皮细胞、肺泡巨噬细胞和活化的成纤维细胞是 OPN 产生的主要来源[49、53-55]。此外,肺组织和支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中 OPN 的表达明显增加,并且这种增加与纤维化的严重程度相关[56-58](图 2)。抑制 OPN 可减轻动物肺纤维化模型中的纤维化严重程度[59-63]。既往研究表明,OPN 与肺纤维化之间的机制联系主要涉及到祖细胞修复、免疫调节以及促进肌成纤维细胞分化和激活。

4.1.1. OPN and progenitor cells in pulmonary fibrosis
4.1.1. 肺纤维化中的 OPN 和祖细胞

Club cells are considered progenitor cells in human terminal bronchioles and respiratory bronchioles. These cells play a role in repairing the regional epithelium in response to lung damage and are present in the distal lung in IPF, suggesting their association with lung fibrosis [64-66]. A recent study by Kumar and colleagues demonstrated that
俱乐部细胞被认为是人类末端细支气管和呼吸性细支气管的祖细胞。这些细胞在肺损伤后参与修复区域上皮,并存在于特发性肺纤维化患者的远端肺部,这表明它们与肺纤维化有关。Kumar 及同事最近的一项研究表明,
specific depletion of protein disulfide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) in club cells reduced the production of OPN/Spp1 in experimental fibrosis and subsequent improvements in fibrosis [63]. This finding suggests that OPN/Spp1 interacts with and is influenced by club cell PDIA3, which may be involved in progenitor cell repair disorders following repeated epithelial cell injury in the context of lung fibrosis [63].
特异性消耗蛋白二硫化物异构酶 A3(PDIA3)减少了实验性纤维化中 OPN/Spp1 的产生,并改善了纤维化[63]。这一发现表明,OPN/Spp1 与俱乐部细胞 PDIA3 相互作用并受其影响,可能参与了肺纤维化背景下重复上皮细胞损伤后的祖细胞修复紊乱[63]。

4.1.2. OPN and immune cells in pulmonary fibrosis
4.1.2.肺纤维化中的 OPN 和免疫细胞

Several studies have revealed the link between OPN and immune cells in lung fibrosis. First, OPN plays a role in bleomycin (BLM)-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis by influencing the pathogenic IL-17/ protective IFN- γ γ gamma\gamma T-cell ratio [67]. Second, pathogenic memory Th2 cells produce amphiregulin during airway fibrosis in asthma; amphiregulin-mediated signalling directly reprograms eosinophils to an inflammatory state and enhances the production of OPN, which directs fibrotic responses in eosinophilic airway inflammation [50]. Third, a recently discovered population of macrophages associated with fibrosis has been shown to exhibit elevated expression of Spp1 (Spp1 + + ^(+){ }^{+}). These macrophages exhibit increased proliferation in the lung tissue of patients with IPF compared to healthy individuals [68]. OPN secreted by these macrophages accumulates in and around fibroblastic lesions composed of myofibroblasts, thereby contributing to the activation of myofibroblasts in lung fibrosis [68]. Spp1 + + ^(+){ }^{+}macrophages have been shown to proliferate in various organs, including the liver, kidney, heart, and lungs, and they play a role in the progression of organ fibrosis [68-70]. Fourth, OPN acts on neighbouring macrophages in an autocrine or paracrine manner, leading to their polarization into the profibrotic phenotype (M2) via activation of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) signalling pathway, thereby promoting the progression of pulmonary fibrosis [71].
几项研究揭示了 OPN 与肺纤维化中免疫细胞之间的联系。首先,OPN 在布洛菌(BLM)诱导的肺炎和肺纤维化中发挥作用,影响致病性 IL-17/保护性 IFN-γ T 细胞比例[67]。其次,致病性记忆 Th2 细胞在哮喘的气道纤维化过程中产生扩张素;扩张素介导的信号传导直接重编程嗜酸性粒细胞呈炎症状态,并促进 OPN 的产生,从而引发嗜酸性粒细胞介导的气道炎症性纤维化反应[50]。第三,最近发现与纤维化相关的巨噬细胞群体表现出 Spp1 基因(编码 OPN 蛋白)的高表达。与健康人相比,这些巨噬细胞在特发性肺纤维化患者的肺组织中增殖明显[68]。这些巨噬细胞分泌的 OPN 蛋白积累在由肌纤维细胞组成的纤维化病灶及周围,从而促进肺纤维化中肌纤维细胞的活化[68]。Spp1 基因高表达的巨噬细胞在肝脏、肾脏、心脏和肺等器官中均有增殖,并参与器官纤维化的进程[68-70]。第四,OPN 通过自分泌或旁分泌方式作用于邻近的巨噬细胞,激活 JAK2/STAT3 信号通路,将其极化为促纤维化表型(M2),从而促进肺纤维化的发展[71]。

of OPN by macrophages plays a role in tissue remodelling by sensitizing and mobilizing fibroblasts in response to other fibrogenic growth factors, thereby contributing to the progression of fibrosis [52]. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can induce pulmonary fibrosis. OPN plays a role in initiating cellular mechanisms leading to SWCNT-induced pulmonary fibrosis upstream of TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 [61]. MWCNTs significantly induce OPN expression to activate the small mother against decapentaplegic (Smad)-dependent TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 signalling pathway and promote the transformation and functionalization of myofibroblasts [60]. Additionally, OPN has been associated with enhanced fibroblast migration and the enlargement of fibrotic foci through increased IL-6 secretion mediated by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway [72].
巨噬细胞分泌的 OPN 在纤维化进程中发挥作用,通过增强其对其他纤维化生长因子的敏感性和迁移性来调节成纤维细胞,从而推动了纤维化的发展[52]。多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)和单壁碳纳米管(SWCNTs)可诱导肺纤维化。OPN 在启动导致 SWCNT 诱导的肺纤维化的细胞机制中起作用,位于 TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 之上[61]。MWCNTs 显著诱导 OPN 表达,激活 Smad 依赖的 TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1 信号通路并促进肌成纤维细胞的转化和功能化[60]。此外,OPN 还与增强纤维细胞迁移和纤维灶的扩大有关,这是通过 ERK 通路介导的 IL-6 分泌增加所致[72]。
The differentiation of myofibroblasts involves multiple sources. Several different myofibroblast origin hypotheses have been proposed, and includes fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT), endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Silicosis, a systemic disease caused by crystalline silica, results in diffuse lung fibrosis. A study showed that exposure to silica increased the expression of OPN/Spp1 in macrophages and exosomes [73]. Inhibiting exosomal OPN/Spp1 derived from macrophages has been shown to suppress FMT [73]. Furthermore, Hatipoglu et al. [62]
成纤维细胞向肌成纤维细胞的转化涉及多种来源。已提出几种不同的肌成纤维细胞起源假说,包括成纤维细胞向肌成纤维细胞的转化(FMT)、内皮间质转化和上皮间质转化(EMT)。硅尘肺是由结晶硅引起的系统性疾病,导致弥漫性肺纤维化。一项研究显示,暴露于硅粉会增加巨噬细胞和外泌体中 OPN/Spp1 的表达[73]。抑制来自巨噬细胞的外泌体 OPN/Spp1 可抑制 FMT[73]。此外,Hatipoglu 等人[62]
demonstrated the attenuation of lung fibrosis by targeting EMT in a mouse model of BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis. This effect was achieved by using a small interfering RNA (siRNA) to specifically reduce OPN expression [62]. The macrophage-myofibroblast transition (MMT) pathway is a newly discovered pathway of myofibroblast transdifferentiation that was initially identified in renal fibrosis [74]. Our recent unpublished research provided evidence of the involvement of the MMT pathway in the development of pulmonary fibrosis in humans and established animal models. In the BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis mouse model, MMT cells were identified and labelled by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry, confirming that they were the primary sources of myofibroblasts. OPN plays a regulatory role in MMT-related lung fibrosis in vitro and in vivo.
在一个 BLM 诱导的肺纤维化小鼠模型中,通过靶向 EMT 来减轻肺纤维化。这一效果是通过使用小干扰 RNA(siRNA)来特异性降低 OPN 表达实现的[62]。巨噬细胞-肌纤维细胞转化(MMT)通路是一种新发现的肌纤维细胞转分化通路,最初是在肾纤维化中发现的[74]。我们最近未发表的研究证明了 MMT 通路在人类肺纤维化以及建立的动物模型中的参与。在 BLM 诱导的肺纤维化小鼠模型中,通过免疫荧光染色和流式细胞术鉴定和标记了 MMT 细胞,证实它们是肌纤维细胞的主要来源。OPN 在体外和体内调节与 MMT 相关的肺纤维化。

The characteristic of liver fibrosis is that hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) transform into myofibroblasts, resulting in the excessive deposition of ECM, which is known as HSCs activation [75]. OPN is a crucial signalling molecule that mediates this activation process. In 2012, Urtasun et al. demonstrated that mice overexpressing the OPN gene
肝纤维化的特征是肝星状细胞(HSCs)转化为肌纤维细胞,导致细胞外基质(ECM)过度沉积,即所谓的 HSCs 激活[75]。OPN 是一种关键的信号分子,介导了这一激活过程。2012 年,Urtasun 等人证明了过度表达 OPN 基因的小鼠

spontaneously developed liver fibrosis; HSCs isolated from wild-type (WT) mice exhibited a more profibrogenic phenotype than those from OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-}mice [76]. This effect was mediated by activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/phosphorylated protein kinase B (pAkt)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-кB) signalling pathway, which was triggered by the interaction between OPN and α v β 3 α v β 3 alphavbeta3\alpha \mathrm{v} \beta 3 integrin on the surface of HSCs [76]. This interaction led to the upregulation of collagen type I (COL-I) and the subsequent development of fibrosis [76].
自发发展的肝脏纤维化;从野生型(WT)小鼠分离的肝星状细胞表现出比从 OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-} 小鼠更有促纤维化表型[76]。这种作用是通过激活磷酸肌醇 3-激酶(PI3K)/磷酸化蛋白激酶 B(pAkt)/核因子κB(NF-κB)信号通路介导的,这种通路是由 OPN 与 HSCs 表面的 α v β 3 α v β 3 alphavbeta3\alpha \mathrm{v} \beta 3 整合素的相互作用触发的[76]。这种相互作用导致 1 型胶原(COL-I)的上调和随后的纤维化发展[76]。
In a subsequent study, OPN was shown to be upstream of highmobility group box-1 (HMGB1), a damage-associated molecular pattern involved in liver fibrosis [77]. In vitro, recombinant human OPN (rOPN) induced HMGB1 expression and translocation in primary rat HSCs, contributing to the increase in COL-I production [77]. Mechanistically, rOPN induced the acetylation (AC) of HMGB1 in HSCs due to an increase in NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity and an associated decrease in histone deacetylases 1 / 2 1 / 2 1//21 / 2 (HDAC1/2), leading to the upregulation of COL-I [77]. Some studies have revealed that HSCs have increased production of COL-I through an OPN-TGF- β 1 β 1 beta1\beta 1-dependent pathway [78,79]. Furthermore, OPN inhibited miR-129-5p expression, thereby activating HSCs and promoting COL-I expression [80]. Notably, thrombin-cleaved
在随后的研究中,发现 OPN 位于高迁移率族蛋白盒-1(HMGB1)的上游,HMGB1 是一种与肝纤维化相关的损伤相关分子模式[77]。体外实验中,重组人 OPN(rOPN)诱导了主要大鼠肝星状细胞(HSCs)中 HMGB1 的表达和转位,从而增加了 I 型胶原(COL-I)的产生[77]。从机理上看,rOPN 诱导 HSCs 中 HMGB1 乙酰化,这是由于 NADPH 氧化酶(NOX)活性的增加以及组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAC1/2)活性的降低,从而导致 COL-I 的上调[77]。一些研究表明,HSCs 通过一条 OPN-TGF-β依赖性通路增加了 COL-I 的产生[78,79]。此外,OPN 抑制了 miR-129-5p 的表达,从而激活 HSCs 并促进 COL-I 的表达[80]。值得注意的是,凝血酶切割的

4.2.2. Kidney fibrosis  4.2.2. 肾脏纤维化

OPN stimulates the development of kidney tubulointerstitial fibrosis by promoting the infiltration of macrophages. Studies have shown that OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-}mice subjected to unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) exhibit reduced macrophage influx, collagen deposition, and TGF- β 1 mRNA β 1 mRNA beta1mRNA\beta 1 \mathrm{mRNA} expression compared to WT mice [82,83]. A separate study discovered that MMP-9-cleaved OPN enhanced macrophage Transwell migration [84]. Inhibiting MMP-9 significantly reduced MMP-9-cleaved OPN levels and decreased macrophage infiltration and renal fibrosis in the kidneys of UUO mice [84].
OPN 刺激宏噬细胞的浸润,促进肾小管间质纤维化的发展。研究表明,经单侧输尿管梗阻(UUO)处理的 OPN − / − OPN − / − OPN^(-//-)\mathrm{OPN}^{-/-} 小鼠,与野生型小鼠相比,宏噬细胞侵润、胶原沉积和 TGF- β 1 mRNA β 1 mRNA beta1mRNA\beta 1 \mathrm{mRNA} 表达均有所降低[82,83]。另一项研究发现,MMP-9 裂解的 OPN 增强了宏噬细胞穿过 Transwell 膜的迁移[84]。抑制 MMP-9 明显降低了 MMP-9 裂解的 OPN 水平,并减少了 UUO 小鼠肾脏中的宏噬细胞浸润和肾纤维化[84]。
In an aldosterone-induced animal model of renal fibrosis, OPN expression is transcriptionally regulated by aldosterone through mineralocorticoid receptors. OPN deficiency protects against aldosterone-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and interstitial fibrosis in the kidney [85]. In angiotensin II-induced renal injury, OPN
在一种醛固酮诱导的肾纤维化动物模型中,OPN 表达受醛固酮通过矿物质皮质激素受体的转录调控。OPN 缺乏可以保护肾脏免受醛固酮诱导的炎症、氧化应激和间质性纤维化[85]。在血管紧张素 II 诱导的肾损伤中,OPN
