Anti-tumor effect of emodin on gynecological cancer cells
Conclusions
Our results suggest that emodin exhibits an anti-tumor effect on gynecological cancer-derived cells, possibly through multiple mechanisms including the induction of apoptosis and autophagy, the arrest of the cell cycle, and the inhibition of angiogenesis. Our findings may provide a basis for the design of potential emodin-based strategies for the treatment of gynecological tumors.
