Fibroblasts can be stimulated to differentiate into myofibroblasts or lipofibroblasts. This potential may depend on expression of Thy-1 (CD90). TGF-β triggers the differentiation of Thy-1–positive fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, while PPARγ activation induces adipocyte differentiation of mainly Thy-1–negative cells.
