This study investigates the impact of FSP27 knockdown and overexpression on the release of free fatty acids (FFA) from human adipocytes. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate that knocking down FSP27 results in increased FFA release, while overexpressing FSP27 decreases this release. Additionally, we performed co-immunoprecipitation studies to show that FSP27 interacts with both HA- and Myc-tagged Egr1 in HEK293T cells. The results were analyzed using standard statistical methods, highlighting the significance of FSP27 in lipid metabolism regulation.

A B Figure S1. Knock down of FSP27 increases while over-expression of FSP27 decreases the release of FFA from human adipocytes. FA were measured after 2.5 h incubation of cells in KRB with 4% BSA. All values are means ± SD; p value was estimated by unpaired t-test.

FSP27 co-immunoprecipitates with both HA- and Myc-tagged Egr1. HEK293T cells growing in 65-mm dishes were transfected with 4 µg of HA-tagged FSP27 (panel A) or Myc-tagged FSP27 (panel B) cDNA and 2 µg of Egr1 cDNA. Cell lysates were collected 24 h post-transfection and immunoprecipitated with 2 µg of either HA or Myc antibody and Protein A/G magnetic beads. The eluates were then separated by 12.5% PAGE and immunoblotted using HA, Myc, and Egr1 antibodies as indicated.
