Association of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule‐1 Expression in Colonic Mucosa With Mucosal Inflammation and Subsequent Relapse in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
VCAM-1 expression in the colonic mucosa of patients with UC is associated with mucosal inflammation and subsequent relapse. These results suggest that VCAM-1 may serve as a marker for relapse and therapeutic effectiveness in UC, and that treatment targeting α4 integrin is efficient and rational.
