ab78920 staining Perilipin-2 in HepG2 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab78920 at 5μg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Also suitable in cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Western blot : Anti-Perilipin 2 antibody ab78920 staining at 1 µg/mL, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX ab238078 loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. A band was observed at 55 kDa in Wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PLIN2 knockout A549 cell line. To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3pc Milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse 680RD at 1/20,000 dilution.

Supplementary information

The protein Perilipin-2 also known as PLIN2 ADFP or adipophilin has an approximate molecular weight of 48 kDa. It is primarily expressed in tissues involved in lipid metabolism like adipose tissue liver and muscle. The main role of Perilipin-2 is to coat lipid droplets in cells thereby regulating lipid storage and breakdown. This protein serves as a critical component of the lipid droplet surface providing structure and protecting the lipid core from excessive unregulated lipolysis.
Biological function summary

Perilipin-2 is a member of the PAT family proteins involved in lipid droplet formation and maintenance. It does not typically form part of larger complexes but it plays a significant role in cellular energy regulation by controlling lipid reserves. This regulation ensures an efficient balance between energy storage and mobilization. The presence and levels of Perilipin-2 can influence how cells respond to nutrients particularly during periods of energy surplus or fasting.

Pathways

Perilipin-2 is heavily involved in the regulation of lipid metabolic pathways and the storage-related signaling cascades. It interacts with key metabolic proteins including hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) to modulate lipolysis. By doing so Perilipin-2 influences processes like fatty acid mobilization and glycerol release integrating perfectly into the cellular energy balance system. The protein is also related to perilipin another member of the lipid droplet-associated proteins emphasizing its participation in lipid metabolism.

Altered expression of Perilipin-2 can have implications in obesity and fatty liver disease. The protein is involved in the accumulation of lipid droplets which is a common feature in these conditions. Obesity and associated disorders often show elevated levels of Perilipin-2 which mirrors increased lipid storage capacity. The protein’s interplay with adipose tissue composition highlights its connection to obesity-related factors including other lipid droplet-associated proteins like adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) which influence the progression of metabolic diseases.
