摘要：
The fibrocyte, which was first described in 1994, is a type of circulating mesenchymal progenitor cell in the peripheral blood. Fibrocytes play important roles in chronic inflammation, wound healing, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis. Emerging evidence indicates that fibrocytes are involved in a wide variety of ocular disorders associated with inflammation and fibrosis. In this review, we summarize recent advances regarding the general characteristic profile of fibrocytes, molecular mechanisms underlying the fibrocyte recruitment to target tissues, their differentiation into fibroblasts, and the potential role of fibrocytes in ocular disease. Given the critical role of fibrocytes in ocular disorders, fibrocytes may serve as a promising pharmaceutical target in the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat ocular inflammation and fibrosis.
