Insights

This corrigendum corrects an image error in a previous study. The corrected figure does not alter the study's findings or conclusions.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Medicine
  • Biomedical Research

Context:

  • A previous publication in Molecular Medicine Reports contained an incorrect image for a control experiment.
  • The error involved the selection of an image for the 'Mimic control' experiment.

Purpose:

  • To correct an inadvertently selected image in Figure 4G.
  • To provide the accurate data for the 'Mimic control' experiment.

Summary:

  • The authors identified an incorrect image used for the 'Mimic control' experiment in a previously published study.
  • The data for this control experiment were inadvertently sourced from the same dataset as the 'Inhibitor control' experiment.
  • A revised Figure 4 is presented with the correct data for the 'Mimic control' experiment.

Impact:

  • The correction does not quantitatively affect the study's results or overall conclusions.
  • Ensures the accuracy and integrity of the published scientific record.
  • Maintains reader confidence in the study's findings.

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

MicroRNAs01:22

MicroRNAs

MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns (non-coding regions of a gene) or intergenic regions (stretches of DNA present between genes). Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself, forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...
