Figure Lengend Snippet: Elevated HAS2 expression and HA accumulation in murine and cellular fibrosis models. (A) Schematic of the experimental design for the time-course study. C57BL/6J mice received a single intratracheal dose of BLM or saline and were sacrificed at the indicated time points (days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 and 21) for sample collection (n=5 for per group). (B) Representative western blot images (left panel) and densitometric quantification (right panel) showing the protein expression levels of COL1A1 and HAS2 in lung tissues across the time course. β-tubulin served as the loading control (n=4 for per group). (C) ELISA quantification of HA levels in BALF at different days post-BLM injury (n=5 for per group). (D) Schematic diagram illustrating the workflow for the isolation and culture of primary mouse lung fibroblasts from BLM-treated fibrotic mice. (E) Western blotting analysis of HAS2 and COL1A1 protein expression in primary lung fibroblasts isolated from control (saline) and BLM-induced fibrotic mice. Representative blot images (left panel) and densitometric quantification of protein levels normalized to β-tubulin are shown (n=3 for each group). (F) Schematic diagram depicting TGF-β1-induced transition of NIH/3T3 fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. (G) COL1A1, ACTA2, and HAS2 mRNA expression in NIH/3T3 cells was detected using PCR after 5 ng/ml TGF-β1 administration for 12 h (n=3-4 for each group). (H) HAS2 protein expression in NIH/3T3 was detected using western blotting after 5 ng/ml TGF-β1 administration for 24 h (n=3 for each group). (I) ELISA was used to quantify HA concentrations in the culture media of myofibroblasts (n=6 for each group). * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001. HAS2, hyaluronic acid synthase 2; HA, hyaluronic acid; BLM, bleomycin; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; COL1A1, Collagen type I α 1 chain; ACTA2, actin alpha 2, smooth muscle.

Figure Lengend Snippet: OG exerts an anti-pulmonary fibrosis effect by impairing myofibroblast-mediated macrophage M2 polarization. (A) Schematic workflow: Fibroblast treatment with OG during TGF-β1 stimulation, followed by conditioned medium collection and macrophage culture for downstream assays. (B) TGF-β1 release from macrophages measured by ELISA (n=3 for each group). (C) Flow cytometric analysis of CD206 and CD86 expression in macrophages cultured in conditioned medium. The bar graph quantifies the proportion of CD206 + CD86 − cells (M2-like macrophage subpopulation; n=3 for each group). (D) Animal experimental protocol. (E) A BLM-induced mouse model was established to assess the anti-fibrotic effects of OG. Histopathological alterations in lung tissues from different groups were assessed using H&E and Masson's trichrome staining. Scale bars: 500 μ m; magnification, ×40. (F) Western blotting analysis to measure the expression levels of fibrotic markers, COL1A1 and α-SMA, in lung tissues (n=4 for each group). (G) The levels of HA in mouse serum were quantified by ELISA. (H) The levels of TGF-β1 in mouse serum were quantified by ELISA (n=6 for each group). (I) OG concentrations in serum and lung tissues after 14-day oral administration. Left: serum concentrations of OG across treatment groups. Right: lung tissue concentrations of OG, expressed as a percentage of tissue weight (n=3 for each group). * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001. OG, glucoside; BLM, bleomycin; COL1A1, Collagen type I α 1 chain; α-SMA, α-smooth muscle actin; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin.
