ORIGINAL ARTICLE Functional Heterogeneity of Osteopontin Isoforms in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Chandra M. V. Goparaju, PhD, Harvey I. Pass, MD, Justin D. Blasberg, MD, Nathalie Hirsch, and Jessica S. Donington, MD Key Words: Osteopontin, Non-small cell lung cancer, mRNA Introduction: Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein with an isoforms, Tumor progression, Epithelial-mesenchymal transition. important but poorly understood role in non-small cell lung cancer (J Thorac Oncol. 2010;5: 1516–1523) (NSCLC) pathogenesis. Moreover, the role of the three known mRNA isoforms (OPNa, OPNb, and OPNc) has not been reported. We hypothesize that OPN isoforms play different roles in determining the steopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein identified metastatic potential of NSCLC.
