1. It has been suggested that osteopontin promotes the development of atherosclerosis, especially under diabetic conditions. 2. In the present study, we found that NK-104, a new potent synthetic inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, reduced osteopontin expression both at protein and mRNA levels in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. 3. The inhibitory effect of NK-104 was almost completely reversed by mevalonate, suggesting that mevalonate or its metabolites play important roles in the regulation of osteopontin expression. 4. Furthermore, oral administration of NK-104 (3 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for 7 days) effectively suppressed abnormally upregulated expression of osteopontin mRNA in the aorta and kidney of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. 5. These data support a notion that NK-104 is a suitable drug for the treatment of diabetic patients with hypercholesterolaemia.
