Application

5-Chloro-2′-deoxyuridine has been used to:
  • study cell cycle dynamics by immunohistochemical analysis and double S-phase labeling using animal models
  • analyze cell cycle length using an animal model
  • label HEK293T cells for molecular combing assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

DNA labeled with 5-chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU) serves as an effective tool to analyze and quantify DNA replication, repair, and recombination. CldU is a potent mutagen, clastogen, and toxicant. It is used as a thymidine analog and is found to alter the dNTP pools and might lead to cell-cycle arrest. CldU produces sister-chromatid exchange but has less response to ionizing radiation compared to other thymine analogs. 5-Chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU) is used to study the miscoding potential of hypochlorous acid damage to DNA and DNA precursors. When used with antibody based immunofluorescent imaging, 5-Chloro-2′-deoxyuridine incorporation may be used in protocols to identify sites of DNA replication. CldU may be used as a labeling substrate in conjunction with other halogenated uridine labeling substrates such as iododeoxyuridine (IdU).

Early during their maturation, adult-born dentate granule cells (aDGCs) are particularly excitable, but eventually develop the electrophysiologically quiet properties of mature cells. However, the stability versus plasticity of this quiet state across time and experience remains unresolved. By birthdating two

Early life stress predisposes to mental illness and behavioral dysfunction in adulthood, but the mechanisms underlying these persistent effects are poorly understood. Stress throughout life impairs the structure and function of the hippocampus, a brain system undergoing considerable development in

Poly(ADP-ribose)ylation (PARylation) by PAR polymerase 1 (PARP1) and PARylation removal by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) critically regulate DNA damage responses; yet, conflicting reports obscure PARG biology and its impact on cancer cell resistance to PARP1 inhibitors. Here, we found that PARG

The emergence of resistance to poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) poses a threat to the treatment of BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2)-deficient tumours. Stabilization of stalled DNA replication forks is a recently identified PARPi-resistance mechanism that promotes genomic stability in BRCA1/2-deficient cancers.
