Syndecan-1 (Sdc1) is a heparin sulfate proteoglycan expressed in intestinal epithelium, which plays a crucial role in inflammation and epithelial repair. Sdc1-knockout mice have a deteriorated course of dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis as compared to controls. Syndecan-1 is also shed into the serum during inflammation of the epithelium. We hypothesized that an increased serum level of soluble Sdc1 is a biomarker of intestinal inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC). To evaluate serum soluble Sdc1 as a biomarker of intestinal inf
