Cancer cells are addicted to metabolic reprogramming by PKM2. 10 members of the NCI-60, representing multiple types of cancer and numerous underlying genetic insults, were transfected with 5 nM siControl or si156 at 0, 48, and 96 h. Cell viability (A) and apoptosis (B) were determined after 6 d. Results are normalized to the no treatment control, and apoptosis is further normalized to cell number. Transfections were performed in technical quadruplicate on two independent occasions. NT, no treatment. Error bars denote standard deviation.
