Abstract Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive and irreversible lung disease that leads to diminished function, respiratory failure, ultimately death typically has poor prognosis, with an average survival time of 2 5 years. Related articles suggested endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress played critical role in the occurrence progression PF. The ER responsible for maintaining protein homeostasis. However, factors such as aging, hypoxia, oxidative stress, or inflammation can disrupt this balance, promoting accumulation misfolded proteins triggering stress. To cope situation, cells activate unfolded response (UPR). Since acute injury (ALI) one key onset events PF, review, we will discuss ALI PF by activating multiple signaling pathways molecular mechanisms affect function behavior different cell types, focus on epithelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages. Linking these types may broaden our understanding underlying help us target through mechanisms. relationship between still evolving, future research explore new strategies regulate UPR pathways, providing novel therapeutic targets.
