- W2158690417 abstract "<i>Background:</i> Accumulating evidence suggests that hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors have many biological effects beyond reducing cholesterol synthesis. In a mouse model of renal interstitial fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction, fluvastatin, one of the lipophilic hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors, was shown to ameliorate fibrosis. <i>Methods:</i> In the present study, we examined the direct effects of fluvastatin on proliferation, matrix and growth factor production by rat kidney fibroblasts (NRK-49F cells). <i>Results:</i> Treatment with fluvastatin reduced proliferation of NRK-49F cells in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of mevalonate or geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate but not farnesyl pyrophosphate to the culture medium almost completely abolished the effect of fluvastatin. Moreover, fluvastatin treatment decreased the expression of activated Rho in NRK-49F cells suggesting that fluvastatin may decrease cell growth through blocking the activation of Rho. The majority of fluvastatin-treated cells were arrested at the G1 phase, associated with down-regulation of cyclin A and up-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27<sup>kip1</sup>, indicating that cell cycle modulation is an important mechanism. Fluvastatin significantly decreased messenger RNA expression of type III collagen and connective tissue growth factor. <i>Conclusions:</i> Taken together, it is suggested that fluvastatin may prevent tubulointerstitial fibrosis in a variety of progressive renal diseases by inhibiting proliferation of interstitial fibroblasts and their matrix synthesis." @default.
