SCD1 knockdown modulates the number and size of lipid droplets (LDs) in HepG2 cells. A: HepG2 cells transfected with negative control (Ctrl) or SCD1-targeting siRNA (siSCD1) and treated (or not) with 100 μM oleate were stained with Bodipy 493/503 (green) and 4,6 diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; blue) to visualize LDs and nuclei, respectively. Bars = 20 μm. B: number and size (diameter) of LD observed in transfected/treated HepG2 cells. Each histogram presents the means ± SD of 5 independent experiments. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.002.
