This study explores the impact of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) knockdown on the clonogenic efficiency of RKO cells. By utilizing siRNA targeting FAK, we assess changes in colony formation through both adherent and suspension conditions. Key metrics include colony-forming frequency, normalized colony formation rates, and protein expressions like Paxillin phosphorylated at Y118 and GAPDH. The results aim to elucidate the role of FAK in cancer cell proliferation and adhesion, contributing valuable insights into therapeutic strategies.
