In silico study identifying IGF1 as a shared gene between pulmonary fibrosis and hypertension that promotes inflammation, fibrosis, and cell proliferation when overactivated. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated ivermectin directly binds IGF1 through multiple binding modes. This suggests ivermectin may inhibit IGF1 signaling. Since uncontrolled inflammation and lung fibrosis are major issues in severe COVID-19, ivermectin's ability to bind IGF1 indicates it may be able to reduce IGF1-mediated inflammation and fibrosis. By binding and inhibiting IGF1, ivermectin could potentially attenuate damaging effects of hyperactive IGF1 signaling on lung tissues observed in critical COVID-19 cases. This proposed mechanism of action via IGF1 binding provides a rationale for how ivermectin could protect lungs against inflammatory damage in severe COVID-19.
74 preclinical studies support the efficacy of ivermectin for COVID-19:

Identification of the shared gene signatures between pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension using bioinformatics analysis
Frontiers in Immunology, doi:10.3389/fimmu.2023.1197752
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) have common pathophysiological features, such as the significant remodeling of pulmonary parenchyma and vascular wall. There is no effective specific drug in clinical treatment for these two diseases, resulting in a worse prognosis and higher mortality. This study aimed to screen the common key genes and immune characteristics of PF and PH by means of bioinformatics to find new common therapeutic targets. Expression profiles are

"abstract": "<jats:p>Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) have common pathophysiological features, such as the significant remodeling of pulmonary parenchyma and vascular wall. There is no effective specific drug in clinical treatment for these two diseases, resulting in a worse prognosis and higher mortality. This study aimed to screen the common key genes and immune characteristics of PF and PH by means of bioinformatics to find new common therapeutic targets. Expression profiles are downloaded from the Gene Expression Database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis is used to identify the co-expression modules related to PF and PH. We used the ClueGO software to enrich and analyze the common genes in PF and PH and obtained the protein–protein interaction (PPI) network. Then, the differential genes were screened out in another cohort of PF and PH, and the shared genes were crossed. Finally, RT-PCR verification and immune infiltration analysis were performed on the intersection genes. In the result, the positive correlation module with the highest correlation between PF and PH was determined, and it was found that lymphocyte activation is a common feature of the pathophysiology of PF and PH. Eight common characteristic genes (<jats:italic>ACTR2, COL5A2, COL6A3, CYSLTR1, IGF1, RSPO3, SCARNA17</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>SEL1L</jats:italic>) were gained. Immune infiltration showed that compared with the control group, resting CD4 memory T cells were upregulated in PF and PH. Combining the results of crossing characteristic genes in ImmPort database and RT-PCR, the important gene <jats:italic>IGF1</jats:italic> was obtained. Knocking down <jats:italic>IGF1</jats:italic> could significantly reduce the proliferation and apoptosis resistance in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, pulmonary smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts induced by hypoxia, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), respectively. Our work identified the common biomarkers of PF and PH and provided a new candidate gene for the potential therapeutic targets of PF and PH in the future.</jats:p>",
