Key Words Emodin; Cholestatic liver injury; Metabolomics; Bile acid metabolism; Gut microbiota
Core Tip Our study revealed the beneficial effects of emodin (Emo) in alleviating cholestatic liver injury (CLI). Bile acid metabolism was altered during CLI, which was normalized by Emo. Emo altered gut microbiota composition. Fecal microbiota transplantation confirmed the microbiota-dependent anti-CLI efficacy of Emo and its therapeutic effect on the gut microbiota, especially Escherichia-Shigella. These findings will provide new insights into exploring the anti-CLI mechanism of Emo and its potential treatment strategies for CLI.
