Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Its progression and resistance to treatment are largely attributed to a subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which play critical roles in tumor recurrence and metastasis. Emodin, a naturally occurring anthraquinone, has demonstrated anticancer potential in several malignancies. This study aimed to investigate the effects of emodin on CRC cell lines (HCT116 and SW480) and their stem-like populations. Luminescence-based viability assays showed IC₅₀ values of 14.58 μM for HCT116 and 15.92 μM for SW480. Cell cycle analysis revealed G0/G1 phase arrest at increasing concentrations, while apoptosis assays confirmed enhanced apoptotic cell death, especially at higher doses. Furthermore, emodin increased mitochondrial ROS levels and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in both cell lines. These findings suggest that emodin not only inhibits proliferation but also targets CSC characteristics in CRC, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic agent.

Journal of Hyojeong Academia aims to serve as a global platform where researchers and scholars of various disciplines can contribute ideas for our sustainable global community of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness. The journal is a multidisciplinary, open‐access, internationally peer‐reviewed
academic journal, and it invites all areas of research conducted in the spirit of post materialism including studies centering on God, studies unifying religions and
sciences, and studies on all aspects of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness.
