More importantly, our previous work revealed that emodin could alleviate intrahepatic cholestasis by promoting the expression of liver farnesoid X receptor (FXR), small heterodimer partner (SHP), uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 2 family polypeptide B4 (UGT2B4), and bile salt export pump (BSEP), which are related to the synthesis, detoxification, and transportation process of Bas (Ding et al., 2016) . Therefore, this research used the LO2 cell line and ANIT-induced rat model to find how emodin interfered with the BSEP signaling pathway to alleviate intrahepatic cholestasis. As shown in Figure 8D , compared with the untreated cells, the emodin group showed significantly elevated mRNA levels of FXR and BSEP. For the LO2 cell experiment, the mRNA and protein expressions of FXR and BSEP were significantly elevated in the emodin group compared with control group. ./cache/cord-003673-u7711eb4.txt ./txt/cord-003673-u7711eb4.txt
