Periostin regulates fibrocyte function to promote myofibroblast differentiation and lung fibrosis

Fibrocytes are circulating mesenchymal precursors (CD45+, col 1+) recruited to fibrotic areas. Fibrocytes secrete profibrotic mediators including periostin; a matricellular protein that regulates cellular interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) components. In bleomycin-induced fibrosis, periost...
