Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is involved in fibrosis by catalyzing collagen cross-linking. Previous work observed that Triptolide (TPL) alleviated radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF), but it is unknown whether the anti-RIPF effect of TPL is related to LOX. In a mouse model of RIPF, we found that LOX persistently increased in RIPF which was significantly lowered by TPL. Excessive LOX aggravated fibrotic lesions in RIPF, while LOX inhibition mitigated RIPF. Irradiation enhanced the transcription and synthesis of LOX by lung f
