From: PAK4, a target of miR-9-5p, promotes cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in colorectal cancer
Effects of PAK4 knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis in CRC cells. a and b Western blot analysis was performed to detect PAK4 protein expression in HCT116 and SW1116 cells after transfection with si-NC, si-PAK4–1 or si-PAK4–2 for 48 h. c and d The MTT assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation ability in HCT116 and SW1116 cells on consecutive 5 days. e and f Flow cytometry was performed to determine cell apoptosis in HCT116 and SW1116 cells. All data are expressed as the means ± SD. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with the si-NC group
