• W1970413612 abstract "Interstitial fibrosis is recognised as the best histological predictor of progressive renal disease. Myofibroblasts contribute to this process through several functions including hyperproliferation, collagen and collagenase synthesis and reorganisation of extracellular matrix. Recent limited in vitro studies suggest that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors may reduce renal injury not only through their lipid-lowering effects but also by antagonising myofibroblast function. This study therefore examined the effects of lovastatin on the above interstitial myofibroblast behaviours in vitro. Primary cultures of rat renal cortical myofibroblasts were grown by explantation and characterised by immunohistochemistry. Dose response effects of lovastatin (0, 15, 30 microM) in DMEM and 10% FCS were examined on myofibroblast kinetics, total collagen synthesis, collagen I lattice contraction and actin filament rearrangement. Lovastatin decreased myofibroblast proliferation and growth. Likewise, collagen I lattice contraction and actin filament rearrangement were partially inhibited when lovastatin was added at 30 microM. In addition, lovastatin decreased both collagen and collagenase synthesis. Our results suggest that myofibroblast function may be downregulated by lovastatin in vitro. Although a decrease in myofibroblast activity may offer potential benefit in the prevention of progressive scarring, further studies will be necessary to determine the relative importance of these functions." @default.
