    Abstract Background: Silicosis presents a significant clinical challenges and economic burdens, with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emerging as a potential therapeutic avenue. However, the precise effects and mechanisms of TCM in treating silicosis remain uncertain and subject to debate.
    Objective: The study aims to elucidate the therapeutic role and mechanisms of the Yang-Yin-Qing-Fei Decoction (YYQFD) and its key component, paeoniflorin, in silicosis using a murine model.
    Methods: Silicotic mice were treated with YYQFD, pirfenidone (PFD), or paeoniflorin. RAW264.7 cells and mouse lung fibroblasts (MLF) were stimulated with silica, matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12), or TGF-β1, followed by treatment with paeoniflorin, PFD, or relevant inhibitors. YYQFD constituents were characterized using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Lung fibrosis severity was assessed via histopathological examination, micro-CT imaging, lung functions, and Western blot analysis. Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were employed to delineate the gene expression profile and target genes modulated by YYQFD in silicosis.
    Results: Treatment with YYQFD ameliorated silica-induced lung fibrosis. Transcriptome sequencing identified MMP-12 as a potential common target of YYQFD and PFD. Additionally, a potential pro-inflammatory role of MMP-12, regulated by silica-induced TLR4 signaling pathways, was revealed. Paeoniflorin, one of the most distinctive compounds in YYQFD, attenuated silica-induced MMP-12 increase and its derived inflammatory factors in macrophages through a direct binding effect. Notably, paeoniflorin treatment exerted anti-fibrotic effects by inhibiting MMP-12-derived inflammatory factors and TGF-β1-induced myofibroblast differentiation in silica-exposed mice.
    Conclusions: This study underscores paeoniflorin as one of the most principal bioactive compounds in YYQFD, highlighting its capacity to attenuate lung inflammation driven by macrophage-derived MMP-12 and reduce lung fibrosis both in vivo and in vitro.

    Abstract Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by frequent acute exacerbations (AEs), especially in severe and very severe cases. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bu-fei Yi-shen granules (BYGs) for COPD.
    Patients and methods: We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of 348 COPD patients with GOLD 3-4 COPD. The patients were randomly assigned into experimental or control groups in a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the experimental group were prescribed BYG, while those in the control group were administered a placebo, orally, twice daily, with 5 days on and 2 days off per week for 52 weeks. The outcomes included AEs, pulmonary function, clinical signs and symptoms, dyspnea scores (mMRC), quality of life scores, and a 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
    Results: A total of 280 patients completed the trial, including 135 patients in the experimental group and 145 in the control group. Compared to the control group, significant differences were observed in frequencies of AEs (mean difference: -0.35; 95% CI: -0.61, -0.10;
    Conclusion: BYG, as compared to a placebo, could significantly reduce the frequencies of AEs and AE-related hospitalizations for GOLD 3-4 COPD patients. Clinical symptoms, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and exercise capacity improved. There was no significant improvement in mortality and pulmonary function.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) XYQFT is composed of 10 herbs. According to the NHIRD, XYQFT is one of the top ten most commonly used TCM prescriptions for asthma treatment.
    Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to explore whether XYQFT reduces asthma symptoms in a mouse model of chronic asthma and determine the immunomodulatory mechanism of mast cells.
    Materials and methods: BALB/c mice were intratracheally (it) stimulated with 40 μL (2.5 μg/μL) of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) once a week for 6 consecutive weeks and orally administered XYQFT at 1 g/kg 30 min before Der p stimulation. Airway hypersensitivity, inflammatory cells in the BALF and total IgE in the blood were assessed in mice. In addition, RBL-2H3 cells (mast cells) were stimulated with DNP-IgE, after which different concentrations of XYQFT were added for 30 min to evaluate the effect of XYQFT on the gene expression and degranulation of DNP-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. After the compounds in XYQFT were identified using LC‒MS/MS, the PBD method was used to identify the chemical components that inhibited the expression of the GM-CSF and COX-2 genes in mast cells.
    Results: The airway hypersensitivity assay demonstrated that XYQFT significantly alleviated Der p-induced airway hypersensitivity. Moreover, cell counting and typing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed a significant reduction in Der p-induced inflammatory cell infiltration with XYQFT treatment. ELISA examination further indicated a significant decrease in Der p-induced total IgE levels in serum following XYQFT administration. In addition, XYQFT inhibited the degranulation and expression of genes (IL-3, IL-4, ALOX-5, IL-13, GM-CSF, COX-2, TNF-α, and MCP-1) in RBL-2H3 cells after DNP stimulation. The compounds timosaponin AIII and genkwanin in XYQFT were found to be key factors in the inhibition of COX-2 and GM-CSF gene expression in mast cells.
    Conclusion: By regulating mast cells, XYQFT inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration, airway hypersensitivity and specific immunity in a mouse model of asthma. In addition, XYQFT synergistically inhibited the expression of the GM-CSF and COX-2 genes in mast cells through timosaponin AIII and genkwanin.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Fu-Zheng-Xuan-Fei formula (FF) is a prescription that has been clinically used through the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating viral pneumonia. Although FF possesses a prominent clinical therapeutic effect, seldom pharmacological studies have been reported on its anti-influenza B virus (IBV) activity.
    Aim of the study: Influenza is an acute infectious respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus, which has high annual morbidity and mortality worldwide. With a global decline in the COVID-19 control, the infection rate of influenza virus is gradually increasing. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop novel drugs for the effective treatment of influenza virus. Apart from conventional antiviral drugs, TCM has been widely used in the clinical treatment of influenza in China. Therefore, studying the antiviral mechanism of TCM can facilitate the scientific development of TCM.
    Materials and methods: Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK) and BALB/c mice were infected with IBV, and FF was added to evaluate the anti-IBV effects of FF both in vitro and in vivo by Western blotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and pathological assessment.
    Results: It was found that FF exhibited anti-viral activity against IBV infection both in vivo and in vitro, while inducing macrophage activation and promoting M1 macrophage polarization. In addition, FF effectively regulated the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway-mediated Th17/Treg balance to improve the lung tissue damage caused by IBV infection-induced inflammation. The findings provided the scientific basis for the antiviral mechanism of FF against IBV infection.
    Conclusions: This study shows that FF is a potentially effective antiviral drug against IBV infection.

    Abstract Background: Modified Bu-Fei decoction (MBFD), a formula of traditional Chinese medicine, is used for treating lung cancer in clinic. The actions and mechanisms of MBFD on modulating lung microenvironment is not clear.
    Purpose: Lung microenvironment is rich in vascular endothelial cells (ECs). This study is aimed to examine the actions of MBFD on tumor biology, and to uncover the underlying mechanisms by focusing on pulmonary ECs.
    Methods: The Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) xenograft model and the metastatic cancer model were used to determine the efficacy of MBFD on inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. Flow cytometry and trans-well analysis were used to determine the role of ECs in anti-metastatic actions of MBFD. The in silico analysis and function assays were used to identify the mechanisms of MBFD in retarding lung metastasis. Plasma from lung cancer patients were used to verify the effects of MBFD on angiogenin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) in clinical conditions.
    Results: MBFD significantly suppressed spontaneous lung metastasis of LLC tumors, but not tumor growth, at clinically relevant concentrations. The anti-metastatic effects of MBFD were verified in metastatic cancer models created by intravenous injection of LLC or 4T1 cells. MBFD inhibited lung infiltration of circulating tumor cells, without reducing tumor cell proliferations in lung. In vitro, MBFD dose-dependently inhibited trans-endothelial migrations of tumor cells. RNA-seq assay and verification experiments confirmed that MBFD potently depressed endothelial ANGPTL4 which is able to broke endothelial barrier and protect tumor cells from anoikis. Database analysis revealed that high ANGPTL4 levels is negatively correlated with overall survival of cancer patients. Importantly, MBFD therapy reduced plasma levels of ANGPTL4 in lung cancer patients. Finally, MBFD was revealed to inhibit ANGPTL4 expressions in a hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-dependent manner, based on results from specific signaling inhibitors and network pharmacology analysis.
    Conclusion: MBFD, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits cancer lung metastasis via suppressing endothelial ANGPTL4. These results revealed novel effects and mechanisms of MBFD in treating cancer, and have a significant clinical implication of MBFD therapy in combating metastasis.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: The Bu-Fei formula (BFF) has a positive effect on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its therapeutic mechanisms against COPD remain unknown.
    Aim of the study: To explore BFF's therapeutic effect on COPD and pharmacological mechanisms.
    Materials and methods: First, the effect of BFF on rats with COPD was studied. Rats were randomly assigned to the blank, COPD, BFF treatment, and aminophylline (APL) treatment groups. From weeks 1-8, the COPD model was established by Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) and cigarette smoke. Then, rats were given corresponding treatment for 8 weeks. The lung function of the rats was analyzed by whole-body plethysmography and pulmonary function testing, lung histopathology by electron microscopy and hematoxylin and eosin staining, and protein levels by immunohistochemistry. Next, the key components and targets of BFF in COPD were screened by network pharmacology analysis. Finally, the possible mechanism was verified through molecular docking and in vivo experiments.
    Results: BFF significantly improved lung function and lung histopathology in COPD rats and inhibit inflammation and collagen deposition in lung tissues. Also, 46 bioactive compounds and 136 BFF targets related to COPD were identified; among them, 3 compounds (quercetin, luteolin, and nobiletin) and 6 core targets (Akt1, BCL2, NF-κB p65, VEGFA, MMP9, and Caspase 8) were the key molecules associated with the mechanisms of BFF. The target enrichment analysis suggested that BFF's mechanisms might involve the apoptosis-related pathway; this possibility was supported by the molecular docking data. Lastly, BFF was indicated to increase the expression of core target genes and the production of apoptosis-related proteins.
    Conclusions: BFF affects COPD by regulating the apoptosis-related pathways and targets.

    Abstract Background: Chinese herbal formulae has multiple active constituents and targets, and the good clinical response is encouraging more scientists to explore the bio-active ingredients in such complex systems. Yi-Fei-San-Jie formula (YFSJF) is commonly used to treat patients with lung cancer in South China; however, its bio-active ingredients remain unknown.
    Purpose: We investigated the bio-active ingredients of the YFSJF using a novel comprehensive strategy.
    Methods: A549 cell extraction coupled with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used for the screening of potential bio-active ingredients. Network pharmacology approach and molecular dynamics simulation were performed for the screening of targets. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay and molecular biology techniques were used to verify the targets.
    Results: Nine A549 cell membrane-binding compounds were identified through cell extraction/UPLC-MS/MS. Five compounds, namely ginsenoside Ro, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rc, peimisine, and peimine were cytotoxic to A549 cells, and they were considered the bio-active ingredients of the YFSJF in vitro. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that TGFBR2 is the key target and the TGFβ pathway is the key pathway targeted by YFSJF in non-small cell lung cancer. Peimisine showed an affinity to TGFBR2 using molecular docking and dynamic stimulation, which was confirmed using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The molecular biology-based analysis further confirmed that peimisine targets TGFBR2 and can reverse A549 epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting the TGFβ pathway.
    Conclusion: Taken together, cell extraction/UPLC-MS/MS, network pharmacology, and molecular biology-based analysis comprise a feasible strategy to explore active ingredients in YFSJF.
