    Measurement of Autophagic Activity in Cancer Cells With Flow Cytometric Analysis Using Cyto-Id Staining
    (Humana Press Inc., 2024) Şansaçar, Merve; Gencer Akçok, Emel Başak
    Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process providing the energy that cells need to survive, especially in stress situations, through catabolic processes. Considering the dual role of autophagy in cancer cells depending on the cellular context, it is crucial to comprehend the effect of drug candidates put forward to prevent cancer through the autophagy pathway. The CYTO-ID® Autophagy Detection Kit allows a rapid, specific and quantitative measurement of autophagic activity at the cellular level using a 488 nm-excitable green fluorescent detection reagent via flow cytometer. In this chapter, we present the CYTO-ID® Autophagy Detection method with a stepwise protocol to monitor the autophagy flux after the application of any compound to suspension cancer cell lines with flow cytometric analysis. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Evaluation of HOTAIR, HOXD8, HOXD9, HOXD11 Gene Expression Levels in Turkish Patients With Acute and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Single Center Experience

    Homeobox (HOX) transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) and HOX genes are reported to be more expressed in various cancers in humans in recent studies. The role of HOTAIR and HOXD genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is not well known. In this study, expression levels of HOXD8, HOXD9 and HOXD11 from HOXD gene family and HOTAIR were determined from peripheral blood samples of 30 AML and 30 CML patients and 20 healthy volunteers by quantitative Real Time PCR. We determined that the expression levels of HOXD9 and HOXD11 in the AML patients were significantly lower than the control group (p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). There was no significant difference in the expression levels of HOTAIR and HOXD8 when compared to the control group. In the CML patients there was a significant increase in the expression level of HOTAIR when compared to the control group (p=0.002). The expression levels of HOXD9 and HOXD11 were found to be significantly lower than the control group (p<0.001). Our study showed that HOTAIR may not be a biomarker in the diagnosis and is not significantly correlated with the clinicopathological prognostic characteristics of AML. Additionally; it can be said that HOTAIR is oncogenic by suppressing the expression of HOXD9 and HOXD11 but not HOXD8 in CML patients. The expression profiles of HOTAIR may be a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of CML patients in predicting and monitoring drug resistance. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
