Background Osteopontin (OP) has been identified in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts, where it contributes to angiotensin II (AII)-induced remodeling processes; in cultured cardiomyocytes; and in macrophages in cardiac tissues with inflammation. 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.Methods and Results 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 (P
