Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a predominant form of lung cancer characterized by its aggressive nature and high mortality rate, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and metastatic spread. Recent studies underscore the pivotal role of mitophagy, a selective form of autophagy targeting damaged or superfluous mitochondria, in cancer biology, including NSCLC. Mitophagy regulation may influence cancer cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis by modulating mitochondrial quality and cellular energy homeostasis. Herein, we present a comprehensive methodology developed in our laboratory for the evaluation of mitophagy in NSCLC tumor cells. Utilizing a combination of immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, and fluorescent microscopy, we detail the steps to quantify early and late mitophagy markers and mitochondrial dynamics. Our findings highlight the potential of targeting mitophagy pathways as a novel therapeutic strategy in NSCLC, offering insights into the complex interplay between mitochondrial dysfunction and tumor progression. This study not only sheds light on the significance of mitophagy in NSCLC but also establishes a foundational approach for its investigation, paving way for future research in this critical area of cancer biology.
