Abstract
Here we present a simple, high-throughput, time-resolved flow cytometer to detect changes in NAD(P)H autofluorescence lifetime. The lifetime of this metabolite is characterized by its binding state, when bound to its coenzyme the metabolite exhibits a longer lifetime (1 to 7 ns) indicating a preferential energy generation state of oxidative phosphorylation. A shorter lifetime, 0.1 to 1 ns, however, indicates an unbound coenzyme which has been correlated to the ATP energy pathway of glycolysis. The work here in is to demonstrate the capabilities of simple, time-resolved cytometry to show subtle changes in autofluorescence lifetime detection. Flow cytometry results are validated by the use of the Agilent Seahorse HS Mini. Results include the method of ATP energy generation measured by the Seahorse as a comparison to flow cytometry lifetime shifts. Measurements were made using an estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell line and the same cell line under developed Tamoxifen resistance. The outcome of this work is a map of the metabolic profile of tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer.
