The effects of aloe-emodin on apoptosis in systemic scleroderma Skin Fibroblasts were detected by TUNEL and fluorescent microscope. Results The results showed that aloe-emodin induced the apoptotic of fibroblasts, and the tendency of apoptotie was increased along with time and the concentration of the drug. Conclusion Aloe-emodin induced the apoptotic of systemic scleroderma skin fibroblasts and could significantly inhibit the proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured fibroblasts.
