Abstract：
:Vitamin A or retinol plays a major role in the regulation of cellular homeostasis. Retinyl palmitate remains the main chemical form of vitamin A storage and is mainly located in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in lipid droplets resembling those found in adipose cells. White adipose tissue (WAT), is essentially involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, through its role in lipid storage, and might also be considered as a vitamin A storage and metabolism site. WAT contains all the intracellular equipment for vitamin A metabolism and signaling pathways which allows retinol to be metabolized into retinoic acid, known to control genomic expression in WAT. The description of molecular mechanisms involved in the activation of HSCs and the differentiation of preadipocytes reveal similar cellular and molecular mechanisms. Indeed HSCs and adipocytes share a common expression of key transcription factors like PPAR-γ and RXR known to influence perilipin expression, which play fundamental roles in lipid droplet metabolism. Both cells are also sources of important endocrine signaling secretions influencing the expression of these transcription factors. The morphological and functional characteristics of HSCs and adipocytes, including the metabolism of vitamin A and other lipids and their related signaling pathways, are summarized and compared in this review. We highlight the complexity of the interrelationship between lipids and vitamin A metabolism and the role of the complex communication existing between HSCs and WAT in diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome.
