OPN is increased in bone marrow with the activation of osteoblasts. Immunohistochemistry of tibia sections from wild-type (left) or littermate transgenic (right) mice with a constitutively activated PTH/parathyroid related peptide receptor driven by a 2.3-kb fragment of the collagenα1(I) promoter as previously described (reference 4). Sections were stained with antibody to osteopontin (red) and counterstained as described (reference 4), and photographed at 200× (top) with ∼4× image zoom (bottom). Yellow arrows indicate OPN-rich spindle shaped cells lining the trabecular bone that is consistent with an osteoblast morphology.
