Qingfei Yin alleviates Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia by promoting complete autophagy to suppress necroptosis

This study demonstrated that QFY can effectively alleviate S. pneumoniae pneumonia. The mechanism of action may be that QFY promotes complete autophagy by downregulating p62 expression, thereby alleviating necroptosis of S. pneumoniae-induced lung epithelial cells and reducing lung injury. It provides a scientific basis for clinical prevention and treatment of S. pneumoniae pneumonia.
