Pyronin Y is an intercalating cationic dye that shows specificity towards RNA.
Pyronin Y forms fluorescent complexes with double-stranded nucleic acids, especially RNA, enabling semi-quantitative analysis of cellular RNA in flow cytometry, to estimate the RNA content per cell in formalin fixed EL4 leukosis tumor cells, enzyme dispersed R3327-G rat prostatic adenocarcinoma cells, mouse spleen cells stimulated with concanavalin A, and human peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin[1]. A fluorescent staining procedure based on pyronin Y is described. The technique has been used to stain RNA in human reticulocytes for subsequent flow analysis and sorting[2]. In viable cells this dye also accumulates in mitochondria. At a concentration of 1.7 to 3.3 μM, pyronin Y is localized almost exclusively in mitochondria of cultured cells, similar to another mitochondria! probe, rhodamine 123. At that concentration PY is not toxic but suppressed cell growth, arresting cells[3]. Pyronin Y has long been used, in combination with other dyes such as Methyl Green, as a differential stain for nucleic acids in paraffin tissue sections. In sections stained with Methyl Green-pyronin Y, red blood cells, elastic fibre of blood vessels, zymogen granules of pancreatic acinar cells, surface membrane of heptocytes and kidney tubular cells showed strikingly strong green and/or red fluorescence, while the nuclei of cells appeared non-fluorescent[4].

This plan only provides a guide, please modify it to meet your specific needs.
1. Prepare Pyronin Y staining solution
(1) Prepare Pyronin Y dye stock solution: Use DMSO/sterile water to dissolve the solid powder and prepare a 1-5mM Pyronin Y dye stock solution.
Note: The stock solution prepared with sterile water needs to be filtered with a 0.22μm filter membrane. It is recommended to aliquot Pyronin Y stock solution and store it in the dark at -20°C to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
(2) Working solution preparation: Dilute the stock solution with a suitable buffer solution (such as HBSS or PBS) and prepare a concentration of 1-5μM Pyronin Y working fluid.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Pyronin Y working fluid according to the actual situation and prepare it for use.
2. Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells (taking 6-well plate as an example)
(1) Centrifuge suspended cells at 1000g for 3-5 minutes. Discard the supernatant and wash twice with PBS for 5 minutes each time.
(2) Add 1 mL of Pyronin Y dye working solution and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 1-5 minutes. Different cells have different optimal culture times.
(3) After the incubation, centrifuge at 1000g for 5 minutes, remove the supernatant, add PBS and wash 2-3 times, 5 minutes each time.
(4) Use serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to resuspend the cells and observe them through fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
(1) Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
(2) Remove the coverslip from the culture medium, suck out the excess culture medium, and place the coverslip in a humid environment.
(3) Add 100μL of Pyronin Y dye working solution from one corner of the coverslip, shake gently to evenly cover all cells with the dye, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 1-5 minutes.
(4) Aspirate away the dye working solution, wash the coverslip 2 to 3 times with culture solution, and observe with a fluorescence microscope.
3. Microscope detection: The maximum excitation light of Pyronin Y is 540-550nm, and the maximum emission light is 560-580nm.
Notes:
① Pyronin Y is suitable for staining paraffin sections. It is recommended to prepare 5% Pyronin Y staining solution in PBS and incubate at room temperature in dark for 5-10 minutes;
② Fluorescent dyes all have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light as much as possible to slow down fluorescence quenching;
③ For your safety and health, please wear laboratory clothes and disposable gloves when operating.
