Figure Lengend Snippet: The negative regulator of adipose triglyceride lipase, G0S2, acts downstream of NRF2 to regulate LD abundance in HEK-TtH cells (A) Fold change of mRNA expression (2-ΔΔCT relative to GAPDH) of regulators of LD structure, lipids, and lipid storage in sgKEAP1 cells vs. sgScr cells. Vertical dotted line represents no change relative to sgScr control mRNA levels. n = 3 biological replicates. Mean ± SD. ( p < 0.05 = ∗, p < 0.01 = ∗∗). (B) Fold change of mRNA expression (2-ΔΔCT relative to GAPDH) of G0S2 in lung cancer cell lines. Data represented normalized to G0S2 expression of H1650 cells. Horizontal dotted line represents no change relative to H1650 mRNA levels. n = 3 biological replicates. Mean ± SD. (C) Representative images of LDs in sgKEAP1/sgG0S2 double-KO HEK-TtH cells taken with 63× objective. Scale bars represent 20 μm. (D) Quantification of LD area per cell from (C). n = 5 biological replicates. Statistics represented calculated by Student’s t test (one-tailed, unpaired with equal variance). Mean ± SD. (E) Representative images of LDs in sgNRF2/mG0S2-Flag-overexpression HEK-TtH cells taken with 63× objective. Scale bars represent 20 μm. (F) Quantification of LD area per cell from (E). n = 3 biological replicates. Statistics represented calculated by Student’s t test (one-tailed, unpaired with equal variance). Mean ± SD.
