Aortic fibronectin (FN) expression is augmented in hypertension. Increasing evidence suggests that both angiotensin II (Ang II and mechanical factors may induce vascular remodeling in response to hypertension. We have previously shown that, in vitro, increased transmural pressure enhances FN expression in rabbit aortic media. To investigate the existence of a link between the effects of pressure and Ang II and to explore the mechanisms underlying such a relationship, we quantified the effect of Ang II and Ang II inhibitors on the pressure-dependent FN expression in a 3-day organ culture model of rabbit aorta using immunolabeling analysis and detected FN mRNAs by in situ hybridization. A dose-dependent effect of Ang II on FN expression was observed at both 80 and 150 mm Hg but not at 0 mm Hg (relaxed vessels). One mu mol/L Ang II increased the media cross-sectional surface, showing FN expression from 7.9+/-0.7% (n=9) to 18.9+/-1.1% (n=4) at 80 mm Hg (P
