These findings demonstrate that JF down-regulated the TGFβ1/Smad2,3 signaling pathway to reduce the fibroblasts, regulate the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3 and PI3k/Akt pathway to inhibit the apoptosis, and display a favorable effect on inhibiting the development of pulmonary fibrosis and delaying the death of PQ-induced PF mice. Here, TGFB1 is linked to pulmonary fibrosis.
