Mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis involved in BRD4 and anti-pulmonary fibrosis effects and the mechanisms of BRD4 inhibitors. BRD4 is involved in fibrotic phenotypic changes in lung fibroblasts (LFs) and epithelial cells caused by external stimuli. It mainly affects the expression of fibrosis-related genes. BRD4 inhibitors (JQ1, ZL0591, CG233, OTX015, and ARV-825) exert their anti-pulmonary fibrosis effects mainly through the inhibition of BRD4-mediated gene transcription, the activation of LFs, the EMT process and oxidative stress
