Abstract

Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent, intracellular pathway for the recycling of cellular components. It plays a pivotal role in both cancer development and the response to chemotherapy. Here we describe how autophagy can be monitored in living cells by flow cytometry using the cationic amphiphilic tracer dye Cyto-ID® Green. The detection of autophagy induction in the human leukemia cell line K562 after the treatment with the HDAC class I inhibitor MS-275 serves as an example for this approach.
