| Research Abstract |
The present study demonstrated that osteopontin was significantly elevated in BALF from patients with acute eosinophilic pneumonia as well as other types of eosinophilic pneumonia. This suggests that osteopontin elevation may be associated with eosinophilic inflammation. The concentration of osteopontin was correlated with that of several cytokines and chemokines, which induce eosinophilic inflammation. Double immunofluorescence labeling showed that osteopontin was expressed in lung eosinophils.Osteopontin may contribute to the development of eosinophilic inflammation in patients with acute eosinophilic pneumonia.
