However, the presence of OP has not been reported in histological sections of myocardial tissue. In the present study, we investigated (1) the regulation of OP mRNA expression in cultured rat cardiomyocytes; (2) the localization of OP mRNA in neonatal and adult normal and hypertrophied rat hearts; and (3) the histology of OP expression in myocardial specimens from humans either with myocyte hypertrophy or with no pathological changes.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n            Cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes expressed OP mRNA and were immunoreactive for OP. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and norepinephrine (NE) increased both OP and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) mRNA levels twofold to threefold (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.01). OP mRNA was prominent in ventricular tissue from neonatal and adult rats with renovascular hypertension and aortic banding, whereas barely detectable levels were observed in normal adult cardiac tissue. ANP and OP mRNA levels in normal and hypertrophied ventricles correlated (\n            <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n            <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n            =.87,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.001). OP immunoreactivity and mRNA transcripts were predominantly found in cardiomyocytes not associated with inflammatory cells in sections from neonatal and adult hypertrophied hearts. No staining was detectable in normal adult hearts. Human myocardium with extensive fibrosis and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy obtained from explanted hearts with either idiopathic (n=5) or ischemic cardiomyopathy (n=7) demonstrated substantial myocyte immunoreactivity for both OP and ANP in right and left ventricles that was not associated with leukocyte infiltration. In situ hybridization identified cardiomyocytes as the major source of OP mRNA transcripts in these hearts. In contrast, OP immunoreactivity was not detectable in four of five endomyocardial biopsies with normal histology.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            The present study provides the first evidence that cardiomyocytes are a prominent source of OP in vivo and suggests that induction of OP expression is strongly associated with ventricular hypertrophy.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.96.9.3063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:41:02Z","timestamp":1339461662000},"page":"3063-3071","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":108,"title":["Myocardial Osteopontin Expression Is Associated With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Kristof","family":"Graf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Medicine and Pathology, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Hypertension, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, Calif (K.G., Y.S.D., N.A., W.P.M., C.C.M., W.A.H.);
