FAST DiI is an unsaturated analog of DiI (DiIC₁₈(3)) that reportedly migrates ∼50% faster. It is weakly fluorescent in water but highly fluorescent and quite photostable when incorporated into membranes. It has an extremely high extinction coefficient and short excited-state lifetimes (∼1 nanosecond) in lipid environments. Once applied to cells, the dye diffuses laterally within the plasma membrane.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I stained my cells with a lipophilic cyanine dye, like DiI, but the signal was lost when I tried to follow up with antibody labeling. Why?

Since these dyes insert into lipid membranes, any disruption of the membranes leads to loss of the dye. This includes permeabilization with detergents like Triton X-100 or organic solvents like methanol. Permeabilization is necessary for intracellular antibody labeling, leading to loss of the dye. Instead, a reactive dye such as CFDA SE should be used to allow for covalent attachment to cellular components, thus providing for better retention upon fixation and permeabilization.

How long does it take for lipophlic tracers to transport along the membrane? How much faster are the FAST lipophilic dyes?

The transport is fairly slow, around 6 mm/day in live tissue and slower in fixed tissue, so diffusion of lipophilic carbocyanine tracers from the point of their application to the terminus of a neuron can take several days to weeks The FAST DiO and DiI analogs (which have unsaturated alkyl tails) can improve transport rate by around 50%.

Which form of the lipophilic tracers (DiO, DiI, DiD, etc) should I use?

Select the dye that is compatible with your available excitation source(s) and emission filter set/channels. The solid, paste and crystal forms can be applied directly to neurons in tissues. For labeling cells in culture or microinjection, the lipophilic dyes in solution or solid form can be used.

I want to label two cell populations and then perform a cell fusion assay. Which reagents are best for imaging this?

Lipophilic cyanine dyes are preferred for this sort of assay, since they insert into cellular membranes and then, upon fusion, are shared by the fused cells as the membranes are shared. For example, one cell population can be labeled with DiI (orange-red) and another cell population can be labeled with DiO (green), and when the cells fuse, the combined color appears yellow (when imaged with a dual-bandpass filter set).

Abstract

Reticulated lipid probe fluorescence reveals MDCK cell apical membrane topography.

Authors:Colarusso P, Spring KR

Journal:Biophys J

PubMed ID:11806917

High spatial resolution confocal microscopy of young MDCK cells stained with the lipophilic probe 1,1'-dihexadecyl-3,3,3',3'- tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiIC(16)) revealed a reticulated fluorescence pattern on the apical membrane. DiIC(16) was delivered as crystals to live cells to minimize possible solvent perturbations of the membrane lipids. The ratio of the integrated fluorescence ... More

Involvement of raft-like plasma membrane domains of Entamoeba histolytica in pinocytosis and adhesion.

Authors:Laughlin RC, McGugan GC, Powell RR, Welter BH, Temesvari LA

Journal:Infect Immun

PubMed ID:15322032

'Lipid rafts are highly ordered, cholesterol-rich, and detergent-resistant microdomains found in the plasma membrane of many eukaryotic cells. These domains play important roles in endocytosis, secretion, and adhesion in a variety of cell types. The parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of amoebic dysentery, was determined to have raft-like ... More

Growth-associated protein-43 is required for commissural axon guidance in the developing vertebrate nervous system.

Authors:Shen Y, Mani S, Donovan SL, Schwob JE, Meiri KF

Journal:J Neurosci

PubMed ID:11756507

'Growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) is a major growth cone protein whose phosphorylation by PKC in response to extracellular guidance cues can regulate F-actin behavior. Here we show that 100% of homozygote GAP-43 (-/-) mice failed to form the anterior commissure (AC), hippocampal commissure (HC), and corpus callosum (CC) in vivo. Instead, ... More

Use of lipophilic dyes in studies of axonal pathfinding in vivo.

Authors:Perrin FE, Stoeckli ET

Journal:Microsc Res Tech

PubMed ID:10620782

'Fluorescent lipophilic dyes are an ideal tool to study axonal pathfinding. Because these dyes do not require active axonal transport for their spreading, they can be used in fixed tissue. Here, we describe the method we have used to study the molecular mechanisms of commissural axon pathfinding in the embryonic ... More

Differential projections of ciliated and microvillous olfactory receptor cells in the catfish, Ictalurus punctatus.

Authors:Morita Y, Finger TE

PubMed ID:9717708

'The primary olfactory projections of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus have been examined with postmortem tracing by using either 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate or 1,1-dilinoleyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI). Following DiI deposition into small areas in different parts of the posterior olfactory bulb, olfactory sensory neurons always were labeled throughout the olfactory epithelium. No obvious ... More
