Abstract:
Subsequently to the publication of this paper, the authors have realized that they made an error during the sorting of the data panels shown for the migration and invasion assays shown in Fig. 2C; essentially, the 'Invasion/PLL3.7' panel was chosen from the same original data source as the panel selected to represent the 'Migration/Inhibitor‑NC' experiment. The authors have consulted their original data, and realize that the 'Invasion/PLL3.7' data panel was inadvertently selected incorrectly for Fig. 2. The revised version of Fig. 2, showing the data appropriate for the 'Invasion/PLL3.7' experiment, is shown on the next page. Note that the errors made in assembling Fig. 2 did not significantly affect either the results or the conclusions reported in this paper, and all the authors agree to this Corrigendum. The authors are grateful to the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this corrigendum, and apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.[Molecular Medicine Reports 18: 105‑112, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2018.8941].
Insights
This paper corrects an error in Figure 2C regarding migration and invasion assays. The corrected figure ensures accurate data representation for the Invasion/PLL3.7 experiment without altering study conclusions.
Area of Science:
- Cellular biology
- Molecular mechanisms of cell migration and invasion
Context:
- The original study investigated cellular migration and invasion.
- Figure 2C contained incorrectly sorted data panels for specific experimental conditions.
Purpose:
- To correct an error in data panel selection for the migration and invasion assays in Figure 2C.
- To provide the accurate data representation for the Invasion/PLL3.7 experiment.
Summary:
- An error was identified in the sorting of data panels for migration and invasion assays in Figure 2C.
- The 'Invasion/PLL3.7' panel was mistakenly sourced from the same data as the 'Migration/Inhibitor-NC' experiment.
- A revised Figure 2 is presented with the correct data for the 'Invasion/PLL3.7' experiment.
Impact:
- The correction does not significantly alter the overall results or conclusions of the study.
- Ensures data integrity and accurate reporting of cellular migration and invasion findings.
- Maintains the credibility of the published research in Molecular Medicine Reports.
