Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease with limited therapeutic options and marked molecular heterogeneity. Despite available antifibrotic therapies, disease progression remains poorly predictable, highlighting the need for improved mechanistic understanding and therapeutic targeting. This review summarizes recent advances in multi-omics research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying IPF and to identify potential biomarkers and pharmacological targets. Multi-omics studies, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome profiling, and single-cell sequencing, have revealed key pathogenic mechanisms in IPF. Genetic susceptibility factors such as MUC5B promoter variants and telomere-related genes contribute to disease risk. Epigenetic regulation, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, plays a central role in fibrotic remodeling. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have identified dysregulated signaling pathways, including TGF-β, mTOR, cellular senescence, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Metabolomic alterations indicate disrupted lipid and amino acid metabolism. Importantly, integration of multi-omics datasets enables the identification of molecular endotypes, candidate biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets. However, challenges including data integration, tissue heterogeneity, limited cohort size, and the need for functional validation remain important barriers to clinical translation. Continued development of multi-omics approaches may facilitate more accurate disease classification and support the development of personalized therapeutic strategies for IPF.
