Figure 1. Drosophila Cells as a Model of Lipid Storage.

Figure 1

(A–F) Drosophila Kc167 cells grown in standard medium (A, C, and E) or medium supplemented with 400 μM oleic acid complexed to 0.4% BSA (B, D, and F). Cells were treated with dsRNA targeting brummer (bmm; [C and D]) or midway (mdy; [E and F]). The corresponding mouse genes are Atgl and Dgat-1. Nuclei are shown in blue (stained with Hoechst 33342), and lipid droplets in green (stained with BODIPY493/503). Scale bar in (A) represents 10 μm.
