This correction clarifies a biochemical pathway error in Figure 2 regarding NADP+ and NADPH conversion in IDH1/2 mutated cells. The updated figure accurately reflects the redox state crucial for cellular metabolism research.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Cellular Metabolism
- Oncology
Background:
- Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations are common in various cancers.
- IDH mutations alter cellular metabolism, including redox balance.
- Accurate representation of biochemical pathways is critical for understanding disease mechanisms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct a factual error in a published scientific figure.
- To ensure accurate representation of the NADPH/NADP+ redox state in IDH-mutated cells.
- To provide reliable data for researchers studying IDH-mutated cancers.
Main Methods:
- Identification of an error in Figure 2 of the original publication.
- Correction of the 'NADP+ ->NADPH' label to 'NADPH ->NADP+' on the IDH1/2 mutated arrow.
- Updating the PDF and HTML versions of the article to reflect the correction.
Main Results:
- The biochemical pathway arrow in Figure 2 has been corrected.
- The corrected arrow accurately depicts the conversion of NADPH to NADP+ in IDH1/2 mutated cells.
- The corrected figure is now available in updated versions of the article.
Conclusions:
- The correction ensures the figure accurately reflects the altered redox state in IDH-mutated cancers.
- This ensures the integrity of the published data for future research.
- The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused by the original error.
