General description

Propidium iodide (PI) is a fluorescent dye thatcan be used for staining nucleic acids. It is impermeable in viable orintact cells. It can penetrate easily into dead, dying, or membrane-compromisedcells. PI has the capacity to bind easily to DNA.

Application

Propidiumiodide has been used: to detect cell cycle by flow cytometry and γH2AXand pH3 analysis,apoptosis assay in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), in stainingbuffer/solution to stain the cells for cell cycle analysis

Solid tumors contain regions of chronic and cyclic hypoxia. Chronic hypoxia can downregulate RAD51 and sensitize cells to PARP inhibition. Herein, we show that RAD51 expression, cell survival and toxicity to PARP inhibition is not affected under cyclic hypoxic conditions.
