Article Abstract
Chitinase 1 (CHIT1) plays a role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis by modulating canonical and noncanonical TGF-β signaling via interaction with TGFBRAP1 and FOXO3. These findings highlight the CHIT1/SMAD7 axis as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target of pulmonary fibrosis.

Airway obstruction and gender affect arterial stiffness in children with cystic fibrosis.
Turk J Pediatr
September 2025
Department of Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.
Background: Vascular changes are observed in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF), and gender-specific differences may impact arterial stiffness. We aimed to compare arterial stiffness and clinical parameters based on gender in cwCF and to determine the factors affecting arterial stiffness in cwCF.
Methods: Fifty-eight cwCF were included.

September 2025
Department of Medicine, Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Background: The approval of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulators elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI), has significantly improved pulmonary function for people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). However, the effects on CF-related bone disease and body composition remain unclear.
Methods: This retrospective real-world study examined adults with CF who received ETI treatment.
The Role of Gut Microbiota on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Mediated by Circulating Inflammatory Proteins: A Two-Step, Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

September 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Taizhou Hospital, Taizhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Persistent inflammation is a crucial characteristic of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Gut microbiota (GM) contribute to the occurrence and development of several pulmonary diseases through the "gut-lung axis." The genetic role of GM in IPF and the mediating effect of circulating inflammatory proteins.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) describes a rare condition characterized by interstitial lung disease (ILD) with autoimmune manifestations in the absence of defined autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRD). Although the classification was established in 2015, prospective data on disease progression remain limited.
Objectives: To identify predictors of ILD progression in IPAF patients using three criteria: 1) progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), 2) INBUILD criteria, 3) absolute FVC decline ≥10%.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by vasoconstriction, proliferation, fibrosis, and microthrombosis of the pulmonary vasculature, which causes elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance leading to right ventricular failure and death. Previous treatments targeted three known pathways involved in the development of PAH: endothelin, nitric oxide, and prostacyclin. Dysfunctional signaling of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) family, via bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor 2 and activin signaling, has also been implicated in PAH leading to the development of a new class of therapies.
