Methods Huh7 cells were treated with 1, 3, 10, 30 and 100 mol/L emodin for 24 h, 5-FU as positive drug. The viability of Huh7 cells was detected by MTT assay. Cells were treated with 30 μmol/L emodin for 0, 3, 6 and 24 h, and the morphological changes of cells were observed by optical microscope. The apoptosis of Huh7 cells were determined by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometer. The expression levels of Akt signalling pathway proteins were determined by Western blotting. Result Emodin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values were determined as 11.55 μmol/L. Cells were treated with 30 mol/L emodin, with the increasing of the time, cells significantly reduced and condensed, a large number of cells droped from the bottom of the culture dish; Emodin could induce apoptosis; emodin could significantly down-regulated p-Akt, Bcl-2 protein expression levels while up-regulated the cleaved caspase-3 expression levels in Huh7 cells. Conclusion These findings suggested that emodin can induce mitochondrial-related apoptosis on Huh7 cells by inhibiting Akt activity."/>
