Abstract
1) Concomitantly increased endostatin is a defensive response to the increased VEGF in UC, 2) MMP-9 is a key enzyme to generate endostatin which may modulate the balance between VEGF and endostatin during experimental UC, and 3) endostatin treatment plays a beneficial role in UC. Thus, anti-angiogenesis seems to be a new therapeutic option for UC.
