Biological Activity

Description	BrdU (Bromodeoxyuridine) is a nucleoside analog that competes with thymidine for incorporation into DNA, and used in the detection of proliferating cells.
In vitro	In RG2 rat glioma cells, Bromodeoxyuridine induces a progressive, dose-responsive suppression of cancer cell line and cancer stem cell population expansion. In H9 cells and BJ fibroblasts, Bromodeoxyuridine alters the cell cycle profile. ^[1] BrdU is stably integrated into the DNA, and thus can be used in assessment of cell proliferation and other cell procession. ^[2]
In vivo	In rat glioma RG2 tumor model, Bromodeoxyuridine (300 mg/kg, i.p. or 0.8 mg/ml, p.o.) significantly slows tumor progression. ^[1]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	Cell lines RG2 rat glioma cells Concentrations ~ 50 µM Incubation Time 24 hours Method Cultures are initially plated at 2000 cells/cm² and are quantified with a Z2 Coulter Counter. RG2 rat glioma cells are treated once with 0, 1, 10, or 50 µM BrdU for 24 hours, and cumulative growth curves were obtained over 18 days. Control and treated cells are quantified and replated at equal densities on days 5, 12, and 18 after treatment.
