Core Tip	Carvedilol has been used for the treatment of portal hypertension for many years. In this study, carvedilol directly inhibited the proliferation and tube formation of cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, this study is the first to investigate the mechanism of the anti-angiogenic effect of carvedilol, which functions by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. These novel activities of carvedilol provide insight into the anti-angiogenic mechanisms involved, and highlight its potential therapeutic application against angiogenesis-dependent liver fibrosis.
