Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Localization of EGFP-FANCD2 in cells cultured with 200 µM of oleic acid (OA) for 2 days. Lipid droplets (LDs) were stained with Lipi-Blue. Scale bar, 5 µm. ( B , C ) Correlative light–electron microscopy. U2OS cells stably expressing EGFP-FANCD2 were treated with 100 µM of OA for 24 h. ( B ) Cells were weakly fixed, and fluorescence images were captured first. Some nuclear LDs (nLDs; magenta) were surrounded by FANCD2 (green). Highly magnified images (yellow square) are shown below. The upper and lower panels correspond with C (ii) and (iii), respectively. Scale bar, 10 µm. ( C ) (i) Electron microscopy images of the cell shown in ( B ). (ii) and (iii) Highly magnified images (red squares) are shown. Scale bars, 10 µm (i), 1 µm (ii), and 200 nm (iii). The asterisk indicates the condensed chromatin area. ( D ) Localization of endogenous FANCD2 and PML in U2OS cells cultured with 200 µM of OA for 2 days. Orange arrows indicate an nLD with FANCD2 and PML. Representative images are shown. Scale bar, 5 µm. (E, F) The relative EGFP-FANCD2 intensity in the FRAP analysis was calculated using the indicated formulas. The red circles and rectangle indicate the bleached areas. The numbers in panels E and F indicate the following: ( E ) 1, FANCD2; 2, whole nucleus; 3, background and ( F ) 1, FANCD2 with LD; 2, whole nucleus; 3, background; 4, FANCD2 without LD.
Article Snippet: The human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS and its derivatives were cultured at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (Shimadzu Diagnostics) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
