    Snippet: To explore the possible mechanisms of emodin-induced apoptosis in HepaRG cells, we evaluated the expression of various proteins involved in the mitochondrial signaling pathway by Western blot analysis. We evaluated the expression of Bcl-2 family associated proteins and caspases, which are involved in the mitochondrial signaling pathway. Treatment with emodin significantly increased the expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreased the expression .....
    Document: To explore the possible mechanisms of emodin-induced apoptosis in HepaRG cells, we evaluated the expression of various proteins involved in the mitochondrial signaling pathway by Western blot analysis. We evaluated the expression of Bcl-2 family associated proteins and caspases, which are involved in the mitochondrial signaling pathway. Treatment with emodin significantly increased the expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner, thereby significantly resulting in an elevated Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Moreover, caspases are the most important effector molecules for the execution of apoptosis. Compared with the vehicle-treated control group, emodin treatment obviously enhanced the expression of cleaved caspase-3, -9, Bax and PARP (Fig. 7A and B) .
