Methods HepG2 cells were treated with 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 μmol/L of emodin for 24 and 48 h, then the anti-proliferative effect was assessed by MTS assay. HepG2 cells were treated with 40, 80, 160 μmol/L of emodin for 24 h, and another control group was also established; The morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by AO/EB double fluorescence staining. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) with Annexin V/PI staining. Caspase3 activity was detected by spectrophotometry. ATP assay kit was used to detect the content of ATP. Flow cytometry was used to determine the Ca2+ concentration, the content of ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of emodin in HepG2 cells after loading with different fluorescence probes. Results Emodin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells and showed a time and concentration correlation. The IC50 values were determined as (77.42±1.25) μmol/L. With the increase of emodin concentration, the apoptotic morphology of nucleus condensation, fragmentation and apoptotic bodies were observed by AO/EB double staining. Compared with the control group, after HepG2 cells treated with 40, 80, and 160 μmol/L emodin for 24 h, the apoptosis rate increased significantly, the activity of caspase3 increased significantly, and the level of ROS and the concentration of Ca2+ increased significantly (P<0.05, 0.01 and 0.001). Mitochondrial membrane potential decreased significantly in 80 and 160 μmol/L emodin group, and ATP content decreased significantly (P<0.05, 0.01, and 0.001). Conclusion Emodin causes the accumulation of ROS in HepG2 cells, the dysfunction of ATP synthesis, the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, which leads to the opening of the mitochondrial permeable transport pores, resulting in the efflux of calcium ions and cytochrome C, activating the caspase protein family and promoting cell apoptosis."/> 2+濃度;emodin;HepG2 cells;apoptosis;mitochondrial membrane potential;mitochondrial toxicity;ROS;Ca2+ concentration"/>
