Abstract

Objective. Dysregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the airway epithelium is associated with airway remodeling and the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Many treatments have been shown to inhibit airway remodeling and pulmonary fibrosis progression in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by regulating EMT and have few side effects. This review aimed to describe the development of airway remodeling through the EMT pathway, as well as the potential therapeutic targets in these pathways. Furthermore, this study aimed to review the current research on drugs to treat airway remodeling and their effects on the EMT pathway. Findings. The dysregulation of EMT was associated with airway remodeling in various respiratory diseases. The cytokines released during inflammation may induce EMT and subsequent airway remodeling. Various drugs, including herbal formulations, specific herbal compounds, cytokines, amino acid or protein inhibitors, microRNAs, and vitamins, may suppress airway remodeling by inhibiting EMT-related pathways.

靶向上皮-间质转化的药物治疗气道重塑和肺纤维化进展

目标。气道上皮上皮间质转化(EMT)的失调与气道重塑和肺纤维化的进展有关。许多治疗方法已被证明通过调节EMT抑制哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的气道重塑和肺纤维化进展，并且几乎没有副作用。本综述旨在描述通过EMT途径进行气道重塑的发展，以及这些途径中潜在的治疗靶点。此外，本研究旨在综述目前治疗气道重塑的药物研究及其对EMT通路的影响。发现。在各种呼吸系统疾病中，EMT的失调与气道重塑有关。炎症期间释放的细胞因子可诱导EMT和随后的气道重塑。各种药物，包括草药配方、特定草药化合物、细胞因子、氨基酸或蛋白质抑制剂、microrna和维生素，可能通过抑制emt相关途径来抑制气道重塑。

期刊介绍： Canadian Respiratory Journal is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for research in all areas of respiratory medicine. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies related to asthma, allergy, COPD, non-invasive ventilation, therapeutic intervention, lung cancer, airway and lung infections, as well as any other respiratory diseases.
