Methylophiopogonanone a attenuates pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting SPP1‐mediated macrophage polarization via the PI3K/Akt pathway

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing identified secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as a crucial target through which methylophiopogonanone A (MOA) ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis. Molecular docking and microscale thermophoresis (MST) assays confirmed a favorable binding affinity between MOA and SPP1.
