preprintOpen access<div>Abstract<p>Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is required for multiple stages of mitosis and is up-regulated in many human malignancies. We depleted Plk1 expression using small interfering RNA (siRNA) and showed defects in bipolar spindle formation and cytokinesis, growth inhibition, and apoptosis induction in human cancer cell lines. To our surprise, depletion of Plk1 in normal human cells did not result in obvious cell cycle defects, and did not induce significant inhibition of cell gr…
