Emodin-induced autophagic cell death hinders epithelial–mesenchymal transition via regulation of BMP-7/TGF-β1 in renal fibrosis

We aim to explore the effects of emodin and its mechanisms on renal fibrosis (RF). We firstly modeled adriamycin-induced rat RF with unilateral nephrectomy. In vivo and in vitro pharmacological experiments were performed in this study. The presence of collagen deposition was detected by Masson stain...
