Emodin is the main active component of the Chinese medicine rhubarb, which has a variety of pharmacological effects and a high clinical value. Its anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects have been widely studied. The aim of the present study was to determine whether emodin has renoprotective effects, and to identify the potential underlying mechanisms in a rat model of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The changes in mean blood glucose levels, normalized kidney weight, urinary albumin excretion, serum creatinine levels and tubulointerstitial injury index (TII) scores of the rats with DN were significantly attenuated by emodin. Furthermore, treatment with emodin significantly inhibited inflammation-related factors and oxidative stress, suppressed the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein (Bax), increased phosphorylated Akt and phosphorylated-glycogen synthase kinase 3 (p-GSK-3?) expression and inhibited caspase-3 activity in diabetic rats. These data suggest that emodin protects against DN and that the underlying mechanism may involve the suppression of inflammation, ICAM-1 and Bax, and activation of the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3? pathway.
