Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Schematic of CRISPR-Cas9 strategy used to generate the FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP reporter system. b , Fluorescence histograms of wild-type control and genomic FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP knock-in cells. c , Immunoblot of lysates from FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP cells. endo., endogenous FSP1. d , Immunoblot of control and FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP cells incubated with siRNAs against FSP1 for 72 h. e , Fluorescence histograms of FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP cells from ( d ) including siRNAs from scramble control. f , Buoyant fractions, enriched with lipid droplets from FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP cells, were isolated by sucrose gradient fractionation and analyzed by western blot. BF, buoyant fraction . g , FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP subcellular distribution by live-cell microscopy. Cells were incubated with 200 µM oleate to induce lipid droplet formation, 500 nM LipiBlue to label lipid droplets, and 5 µg/mL CellMask Deep Red to label the plasma membrane. Line intensity plots showing colocalization between FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP and organelle markers (right). h , Live-cell imaging of mCherry-expressing control and FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP cells incubated with SYTOX Green and treated with 100 nM RSL3 for 24 h. Scale bar, 100 µm. i , Dose response of RSL3-induced cell death of wild-type and FSP1 GFP-P2A-BFP reporter cells in the presence of 2 µM FSEN1.
