Autophagy protects colorectal cancer cells against therapeutic intervention. Autophagy is a continuous process, and autophagic flux requires both autophagosome synthesis and their subsequent degradation at lysosomes. Hence, cells with elevated autophagic flux display both rapid autophagosome generation and degradation. Here, we describe an immunoblot protocol coupled to pharmaceutical inhibition of autophagosome clearance to monitor autophagic flux levels between colorectal cancer cell lines.
