Angiotensin II (Ang II) accelerates atherosclerosis and induces abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in an experimental mouse model. Agonism of a G protein-coupled receptor by Ang II activates Rho-kinase and other signaling pathways and results in activation of proteolysis and apoptosis. Enhanced proteolysis and smooth muscle cell apoptosis are important mechanisms associated with AAA. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that fasudil, a Rho-kinase inhibitor, could attenuate Ang II-induced AAA formation by inhibiting vascular wall apoptosis and extracellular matrix proteolysis.
