Osteopontin Splice Variants Differentially Exert Clinicopathological Features and Biological Functions in Gastric Cancer

<p><b>Purpose: </b> Gastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of death worldwide, and an elevated expression of osteopontin (OPN) may correlate with its poor survival. Alternative splicing of OPN can result in three isoforms, OPN-a, OPN-b and OPN-c. The aim of our current study i...
