Our previous studies showed that Shuangshen Pingfei Formula (SSPF) exhibited anti-fibrosis effect, but its biochemical changes at the metabolic level remain unclear. In this study, an integrative approach of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive-mass spectrometry (UPLC-QE-MS)-based non-targeted metabolomics and multivariate statistical analysis was employed to explore the metabolic changes of serum samples from different stages of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF) rats (PFRs: M7, M14, M21 and M28) treated with SSPF extracts. Potential biomarkers for PF were screened. Benzenebutanoic acid, pyroglutamic acid, cholic acid, 1-monopalmitin, succinic acid and palmitoleic acid may be potential biomarkers of the early inflammation stage of PF (M7-M14). 3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, proline, serine, taurine, etc. may be potential biomarkers for the advanced pulmonary fibrosis stage (M21-M28) of PF. The disturbance was mainly related to the disorder of lipid, amino acid metabolism. After SSPF treatment, the disorder was regulated and 67 metabolites were restored to a certain extent. Serine, proline, glutamine, 4-guanidinobutyric acid, phosphatidylethanolamine, lecithin and 9,10-epoxyoctadecene acids may be useful as biomarkers of the anti-fibrosis effect of SSPF.
