Application

2′-Deoxyuridine has been used as a:
  • precursor of [3H]thymidine triphosphate (TTP) in place of thymidine to avoid a potential thymidine block in relative proliferation assays
  • nucleoside supplement for cell cycle synchronization and DNA replication inhibition
  • mitotic inhibitor in culture media to minimize the proliferation of glial cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

2′-Deoxyuridine (dU) is frequently halogenated to create thymidine analogs useful for studies of DNA synthesis and degradation mechanisms. Derivatized 2′-deoxyuridines used as labeling substrates include chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU), bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and/or iododeoxyuridine (IdU). Other useful analogs of 2′-deoxyuridine include 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (DdU) and 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine (HmdU).

Overexpression of NQO1 is associated with poor prognosis in human cancers including lung, stomach, colon, cervical, and pancreatic cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the protumorigenic capacities of NQO1 have not been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated this question and

Alkyne has a unique Raman band that does not overlap with Raman scattering from any endogenous molecule in live cells. Here, we show that alkyne-tag Raman imaging (ATRI) is a promising approach for visualizing nonimmobilized small molecules in live cells.

Thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) has recently been used for tracking mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In the present study, we tested whether EdU was cytotoxic and whether it interfered with differentiation, cytokine secretion and migration of MSCs. EdU labeling was performed

Therapeutic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are composed of chemically modified nucleotides, which enhance RNA stability and increase affinity in Watson-Crick base pairing. However, the precise fate of such modified nucleotides once the siRNA is degraded within the cell is unknown.
