Standardized Herbal PM014 Formula Ameliorates Pulmonary Fibrosis in COVID-19 Patients by Inhibiting the TGF-β1 Signaling Pathway
Authors
Abstract:
A number of studies have previously provided evidence on the Anti-inflammatory properties of plant-derived compounds that can prevent lung injury. In this study, we attempted to analyze the therapeutic effects of PM 014 on inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis in COVID-19 as well as describing the treatment of one of the most challenging problems related to the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19). We believe that having a close look at all angles of the proposed mechanism goes beyond the physiological consequences of a way to design new strategies for providing an appropriate treatment.

Shenqiwan Ameliorates Renal Fibrosis in Rats by Inhibiting TGF-β1/Smads Signaling Pathway
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) refers to the transition of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells. Emerging evidence suggests that EMT is a key point in renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF). Traditional Chinese Medicine Shenqiwan (SQW) is widely used in clinical treatment of chronic kidney disease, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate ...

Abnormal TGF-β1/Smad3 activation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, which can be prevented by paclitaxel (PTX). This study aimed to investigate an antifibrotic effect of the low-dose PTX (10 to 50 nM in vitro, and 0.6 mg/kg in vivo). PTX treatment resulted in phenotype reversion of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) with i...

Radiation therapy is widely used for thoracic cancers. However, it occasionally causes radiation-induced lung injuries, including pneumonitis and fibrosis. Chung-Sang-Bo-Ha-Tang (CSBHT) has been traditionally used to treat chronic pulmonary disease in Korea. PM014, a modified herbal formula derived from CSBHT, contains medicinal herbs of seven species. In our previous studies, PM014 exhibited a...

Yousef et al. [1] report the rejuvenation of myogenesis and neurogenesis in old mice ―24 months old, analogous to 80 year old humans ― by reversing TGF-β1/ pSmad signaling to the lower levels found in young mice. They suggest that the higher levels inhibit the capacity of stem cells in old muscle and in the hippocampus of the aged brain to contribute to differentiated tissue. Reversal was accom...
full textNDRG2 Ameliorates Hepatic Fibrosis by Inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad Pathway and Altering the MMP2/TIMP2 Ratio in Rats
Liver fibrosis is a worldwide clinical issue. It has been well established that activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are responsible for excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in chronically damaged livers. The identification of key elements that control HSCs activation will help to further our understanding of liver fibrosis and improve the outcome of clinical treatment. This study...

BACKGROUND This study was to evaluate the effects of herbal compound 861 (Cpd861) on ski-related novel protein N (SnoN) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) /Smad signaling in rats with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced hepatic fibrosis, and to explore the mechanisms of Cpd861 on hepatic fibrosis. METHODS Thirty Wistar male rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation, BD...
