Fosinopril (FOS) is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor that can decrease angiotensin II (Ang II) formation, thereby reducing systemic vasoconstriction. This study investigated the impact of FOS on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic transformation in hypertension. Experiments using western blotting revealed that FOS inhibits the Ang II-induced downregulation of α-SMA and SM22α and the upregulation of OPN in VSMCs.
