We found that absence of osteopontin (OPN) in immunocompromised Rag2−/− mice, which lack T and B cells, made the mice extremely susceptible to an opportunistic fungus Pneumocystis, although immunocompetent OPN-deficient mice could clear Pneumocystis as well as wild-type mice. OPN has been studied as an extracellular protein, and the role of an intracellular isoform of osteopontin (iOPN) is still largely unknown. Here, we elucidated the mechanism by which iOPN was involved in anti-fungal innate immunity. First, iOPN was essential for cluster formation of fungal receptors that detect Pneumocystis; including dectin-1, TLR2, and mannose receptor. Second, iOPN played a role as an adaptor molecule in TLR2 and dectin-1 signaling pathways, and mediated ERK activation and cytokine production by zymosan, which simultaneously activates TLR2 and dectin-1 pathways. Third, iOPN enhanced phagocytosis and clearance of Pneumocystis. Our study here suggests the critical involvement of iOPN in anti-fungal innate immunity.
