Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a kind of interstitial lung disease with unknown cause. The mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of PF needs to be strengthened. Traditional Chinese medicine and its compounds can play a therapeutic role in the prevention and treatment of PF from multiple targets and pathways. Because of the complex components of traditional Chinese medicine and single research method, the research process is slow. In recent years, omics technologies (proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, genomics) are helpful to explore and screen clinical biomarkers and new prevention and treatment targets of PF, providing ideas and strategies for the development of targeted traditional Chinese medicine. In this review, we summarize the application of different omics technologies in the research of PF in recent years, and analyze the progress of omics technology in revealing the therapeutic mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine. We also discuss the advantages and limitations of omics technology, and think about the future research direction of PF.
