The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular to the application of Corynebacterium casei in the preparation of medicines for preventing and treating lung injury. The present invention constructs a mouse model of lung injury caused by radon inhalation and finds that after exposure to different radon levels, the mice lose weight, increase the lung coefficient, reduce the lung tidal volume, minute ventilation and maximum inspiratory flow, and their respiratory function is inhibited. The alveolar cavity of the mice is abnormally expanded, the lung septum is thickened and fractured, accompanied by more fibrin exudation, obvious inflammatory infiltration appears near the bronchus, congestion occurs in small blood vessels, and collagen deposition in lung tissue can lead to the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis, causing lung injury. Oral administration of Corynebacterium casei can effectively inhibit the above-mentioned phenomenon. Therefore, Corynebacterium casei can be used for the prevention and treatment of lung injury, especially lung injury caused by radon exposure.

Respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are commonly treated with β2-adrenergic receptor agonists that activate intracellular signaling pathways to induce airway relaxation. However, current therapies are limited by progressive receptor desensitization, or tachyphylaxis, largely attributed to β-arrestin recruitment. This desensitization reduces therapeutic efficacy over time and complicates long-term disease management, resulting in suboptimal outcomes for patients who rely on bronchodilators for daily symptom control. Disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising biased agonists and their methods of use, which minimally activate recruitment of beta-arrestin2.
