The intracellular accumulation of neutral lipids, steatosis, is often triggered by drugs that affect the metabolism of fatty acids and/or neutral lipids. HCS LipidTOX™ Green neutral lipid stain was developed to characterize the potentially toxic effects of compounds on lipid metabolism in mammalian cell lines. The LipidTOX™ neutral lipid stain has an extremely high affinity for neutral lipid droplets and can be detected by fluorescence microscopy or an HCS reader. This probe is compatible with the HCS LipidTOX™ phospholipidosis detection reagents (H34350, H34351). HCS LipidTOX™ neutral lipid stains can also be used to monitor the formation and differentiation of adipocytes, a process called adipogenesis.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What kind of filter sets can I use with HCS LipidTOX neutral lipid stains?

LipidTOX Green neutral lipid stain can be imaged with filter sets appropriate for Alexa Fluor 488 dye or fluorescein. LipidTOX Red neutral lipid stain is best imaged with filter sets appropriate for Alexa Fluor 594 dye or Texas Red dye. LipidTOX Deep Red neutral lipid stain can imaged with filter sets appropriate for Alexa Fluor 647 dye or Cy5 dye.

I want to label the plasma membrane of my cells, but there are several dyes to choose from. Which one should I use?

For live-cell imaging, the CellVue and CellMask Plasma Membrane Stains are the most uniform and the slowest to be endocytosed. However, they are not the best choice if you wish to fix and permeabilize your cells, such as for antibody labeling. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) conjugates are also able to label live cells, or can label already formaldehyde-fixed cells. They can survive subsequent permeabilization with detergents, such as Triton X-100. If cells are already permeabilized, WGA will label internal structures as well. Thus, only an antibody against a plasma membrane protein can be used if cells are already permeabilized. Lipophilic cyanine dyes, such as DiI, will label all cell membranes in live cells, not just plasma membranes, if left on live cells for extended periods. Following page will help you choose (http://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cell-analysis/cell-structure/plasma-membrane.html).

Abstract
Fluorescent high-content imaging allows the discrimination and quantitation of E-LDL-induced lipid droplets and Ox-LDL-generated phospholipidosis in human macrophages.
Authors:Grandl M, Schmitz G,
Journal:Cytometry A
PubMed ID:20014301
'Macrophage foam cells formed during uptake of atherogenic lipoproteins are a hallmark of atherosclerotic lesion development. In this study, human macrophages were incubated with two prototypic atherogenic LDL modifications enzymatically degraded LDL (E-LDL) and oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) prepared from the same donor LDL. To detect differences in macrophage lipid storage, ... More
Effect of growth factors on the proliferation and gene expression of human meibomian gland epithelial cells.
Authors:Liu S, Kam WR, Ding J, Hatton MP, Sullivan DA,
Journal:Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
PubMed ID:23493293
'We hypothesize that growth factors, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and bovine pituitary extract (BPE), induce proliferation, but not differentiation (e.g., lipid accumulation), of human meibomian gland epithelial cells. We also hypothesize that these actions involve a significant upregulation of genes linked to cell cycle processes, and a significant downregulation ... More
Enhancement of BODIPY505/515 lipid fluorescence method for applications in biofuel-directed microalgae production.
Authors:Brennan L, Blanco Fernández A, Mostaert AS, Owende P,
Journal:J Microbiol Methods
PubMed ID:22521923
'This paper describes a microalgal cell lipid fluorescence enhancement method using BODIPY(505/515), which can be used to screen for lipids in wild-type microalgae and to monitor lipid content within microalgae production processes to determine optimal harvesting time. The study was based on four microalgae species (Dunaliella teteriolecta, Tetraselmis suecica, Nannochloropsis ... More
Increased lipid accumulation in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii sta7-10 starchless isoamylase mutant and increased carbohydrate synthesis in complemented strains.

PubMed ID:20562225
'The accumulation of bioenergy carriers was assessed in two starchless mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (the sta6 [ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase] and sta7-10 [isoamylase] mutants), a control strain (CC124), and two complemented strains of the sta7-10 mutant. The results indicate that the genetic blockage of starch synthesis in the sta6 and sta7-10 mutants ... More
SIRT1 regulates differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by deacetylating ß-catenin.

'Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multi-potent cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes and myocytes. This potential declines with aging. We investigated whether the sirtuin SIRT1 had a function in MSCs by creating MSC specific SIRT1 knock-out (MSCKO) mice. Aged MSCKO mice (2.2 years old) showed defects in tissues ... More
