Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted acidic phosphoglycoprotein found in many tissues and body fluids, is produced in increased amounts in response to certain infections and after malignant transformation. In this study we examined the action of OPN on macrophage cytotoxicity and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. A human OPN cDNA was cloned into the bacteriophage T7-based vector, pET8C, and the encoded protein purified from an induced culture of Escherichia coli carrying the plasmid. Recombinant OPN inhibited NO production by macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide plus interferon-gamma. OPN also inhibited the cytolytic activity of the activated macrophages toward NO-sensitive P815 mastocytoma cells, an action that was blocked by the NO synthase inhibitor, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine. Inhibition of NO production correlated with an OPN-dependent decrease in the abundance of inducible NO synthase mRNA. The shape of the dose-response curve, with a maximal effect over a narrow range of OPN concentrations, suggested a complex interaction of OPN with cell surface receptors. Our data support the hypothesis that tumor-cell-derived OPN functions to protect the tumor cells from macrophage-mediated destruction.
