Figure Lengend Snippet: PSMD1 and PSMD2 localize to the surface of lipid droplets. Fluorescence expression vectors were constructed, including PSMD1 -mCherry, PSMD2 -mCherry, PSMD1 -EGFP, PLIN2-EGFP, and Livedrop-EGFP. a PSMD1 -mCherry or PSMD2 -mCherry was transfected into cells for 48 h. Then, the cells were fixed and stained by DAPI. The images were captured by laser scanning confocal microscope (bar = 10 μm). b PSMD1 -EGFP and PSMD2 -mCherry were co-transfected into cells for 48 h. Then, the cells were fixed and stained by DAPI. The images were captured by a laser scanning confocal microscope (bar = 10 μm). The fluorescence plot was analyzed by ImageJ software. c , d The cells were transfected with PSMD1 -mCherry or PSMD2 -mCherry for 48 h, and then the cells were treated with 200 μM oleic acid (OA) for another 6 h. Then, the cells were fixed and stained by BODIPY493/503 and DAPI. The images were captured by a laser scanning confocal microscope (bar = 10 μm). e , f The cells were co-transfected with PSMD1 -mCherry or PSMD2 -mCherry and PLIN2-EGFP vectors for 48 h, and then the cells were treated with 200 μM OA for another 6 h. Then, the cells were fixed and stained by BODIPY493/503 and DAPI. The images were captured by laser scanning confocal microscope (bar = 10 μm). g , h The cells were co-transfected with PSMD1 -mCherry or PSMD2 -mCherry and Livedrop-EGFP vectors for 48 h, and then the cells were treated with 200 μM OA for another 6 h. Then, the cells were fixed and stained by BODIPY493/503 and DAPI. The images were captured by a laser scanning confocal microscope (bar = 10 μm)
