• | Ophiocordyceps lanpingensis polysaccharides inhibited MCP-1 production. |
• | The decrease of MCP-1 attenuated monocyte or macrophage accumulation. |
• | The attenuated monocyte or macrophage accumulation alleviated TGF-β1 production. |
• | The inhibition of TGF-β1 pathway restrained pulmonary fibrosis progression. |
Abstract |
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease with growing prevalence. Currently available therapies for treating IPF are not desirable due to the limited efficacy and multiple side effects. Ophiocordyceps lanpingensis is one strain of entomogenous fungi, which has been collected from the eastern part of the Himalayas. This study revealed that O. lanpingensis polysaccharides (OLP) could attenuate bleomycin (BLM) induced lung fibrosis in mice. Results showed that OLP treatments significantly reduced BLM-induced collagen deposition and decreased the accumulation of macrophages. The oxidative stress of the lung was alleviated by OLP. The expression levels of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic factors in OLP groups were also decreased compared with those in the BLM group, which might explain the improved alveolar integrity and function in the OLP treated groups. Our findings indicated that OLP treatment could alleviate pulmonary fibrosis progression mainly through reducing the recruitment of macrophages to the lungs.
