The original version of this Article contained errors in the Figures.

In Figure 3E, as a result of a file labelling error, inappropriate images were selected for the 0h and 24h conditions. In Figure 3G, inappropriate image selection resulted in a partial overlap in the siRNA ADORA2A-2 and siRNA ADORA2A-3 conditions in SW620 cells. In Figure 4D, the NC condition mistakenly showed partial overlap with the ADORA2A condition. In Figure 5, the graphs contained an error in the calculation of cell apoptosis.

The original Figures 3, 4 and 5 and accompanying legends appear below.

ADORA2A inhibits apoptosis of CRC cells. (AB) Cell apoptosis of ADORA2A transfected with siRNA ADORA2A-2 and siRNA ADORA2A-3 in SW620 and HCT116 determined by flow cytometry. Cell apoptosis was calculated as a sum of early and late apoptotic cells. (C) Cell apoptosis transfected with ADORA2A overexpression plasmid in SW480 determined by flow cytometry. Cell apoptosis was calculated as a sum of early and late apoptotic cells.
