Lipid droplets correlate with breast cancer progression and stemness. (a) The effect of PLIN2 expression on relapse-free survival in breast cancer (b) Confocal imaging of Nile Red stained BT474, MCF7, T47D, and MDA-MB-231. The scale bar represents 50 μm. (c) Quantification of lipid droplets number/cell for 100 cells per cell line (right). (d) Mammosphere formation efficiency for the four cell lines used in this study. (e) Confocal imaging of mammospheres stained with Nile Red, arrows indicate lipid droplet enriched cells, scale bar represents 50 μm. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. Significance was calculated using two-tailed t-tests. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
