Aloe‐Emodin Targeting FOXC2 Disrupts NETs Formation and EMT‐Driven Postoperative Peritoneal Adhesion Through TGF‐β1‐Smad2/3 Pathway

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Forkhead box protein C2 (FOXC2) is highlighted as a pivotal effector in postoperative peritoneal adhesion (PPA) formation. Mechanically, FOXC2 mediates NETs‐induced EMT alterations through the TGF‐β1‐Smad2/3 pathway. Aloe‐emodin (AE) ameliorates FOXC2‐driven fibrosis by blocking NETs formation and EMT changes through this pathway.
