Background: New evidence suggests that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may facilitate angiogenesis as well as function to generate angiogenesis inhibitors. In this study, the angiogenic effect of wound exudates from patients with venous insufficiency ulcers was examined in an in vitro angiogenesis model with and without synthetic MMP-2/-9 inhibitor.Methods: Wound exudates were obtained from 20 patients with venous insufficiency ulcers and 20 control patients with donor-site wounds after skin grafting for burns. In the angiogenesis model, suramin (20 mu g/ml) was used in five wells without wound fluid as negative control, and vascular endothelial growth factor (1 mu g/ml) was used in five other wells as positive control. Chronic wound fluids were analyzed without and with a synthetic MMP-2/-9 inhibitor with a concentration of 2 mu M and 20 mu M in the medium. The total length of tubules was calculated by map reader. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test. The level of significance was considered to be p
