    Schematic diagram of CB2R-mediated hepatic iron homeostasis. CB2R regulates iron metabolism in hepatocytes and kupffer cells. Iron overload leads to excessive iron deposition in the liver. In hepatocytes, excess iron increases the labile iron pool and ferritin, activates STAT3, and induces hepcidin production, which in turn down-regulates FPN1, exacerbating intracellular iron retention, ROS production, and hepatocyte injury. In Kupffer cells, iron accumulation similarly expands the labile iron pool, promotes M1 polarization and the release of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, amplifications oxidative stress and inflammatory damage, and drives stellate cell-mediated fibrosis. CB2R activation counteracts these processes by cell type-specific mechanisms: in hepatocytes, CB2R inhibits STAT3-dependent hepcidin induction to preserve FPN1-mediated iron efflux, whereas in Kupffer cells, CB2R enhances Nrf2-driven FPN1 expression, thereby reducing LIP and ROS production. In summary, CB2R signaling coordinates the responses of hepatocytes and macrophages to restore hepatic iron homeostasis and limit liver injury caused by iron overload
