PLEK2 modulates apoptosis in colorectal carcinoma cells. (A) HCT-116 and (B) RKO cells transfected with siCtrl, siPLEK2#1 and siPLEK2#2 were stained with PI/Annexin V-FITC and cell apoptosis was analyzed using a flow cytometry system. Left, apoptosis graphs. Right, quantitative analysis of cell apoptosis. Ctrl and PLEK2-OE (C) HCT-116 and (D) RKO cells were stained with PI/Annexin V-FITC and cell apoptosis was analyzed using a flow cytometry system. Left, apoptosis graphs. Right, quantitative analysis of cell apoptosis. **P<0.01; ***P<0.001 vs. siCtrl or Ctrl. Ctrl, emptry vector; PLEK2-OE, pleckstrin 2 overexpression; si/siRNA, small interfering RNA; siCtrl, negative control siRNA.
