1 3 and pathological events. On the contrary, iOPN is predominantly present in the cytoplasm, lacking the N-terminal signal sequence of sOPN [5]. Previous reports primarily demonstrated the effect of OPN administration on increasing the barrier function of TJ-associated molecules via interaction with αvβ3 integrin and cluster of differentiation (CD44)[4]. These reports did not describe how iOPN may directly contribute to the function of TJ-associated proteins, although in vitro data reported by Woo et al.[6] demonstrated the association between iOPN and occluding expression (Fig. 1). In this regard, Woo’s data are intriguing, although the clinical significance of their data remains uncertain.In summary, dysregulation and internalization of TJ-associated proteins are associated with increased intestinal mucosal permeability, which leads to the onset and flare of IBD. The current study provides new data supporting the hypothesis that OPN contributes to the integrity of intestinal mucosa via the prevention of the redistribution and phosphorylation of occludin. Although many issues remain regarding the contribution of OPN to IBD pathophysiology, OPN furtively supports TJ-associated proteins as guardians of the epithelial barrier.
