Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are a kind of adipocytes.In HSCs lipids mainly exist in the form of lipid droplets.They are abundantly found in the cytoplasm and their main constituents are triglycerides.Lipid metabolism in HSCs is closely related to its biological activity,however the mechanism of lipid droplets disappearance after HSC activation is not clearly established yet.Recent research shows that,cyclooxygenase-2 plays an important regulatory role in the lipid metabolism of HSCs.This paper seeks to review the subject based on studies that have been conducted so far to understand the role of cyclooxygenase-2 in the metabolism of lipids in HSCs.
