Summary
This corrigendum corrects errors in cell proliferation and migration data figures from a previous study. The authors confirm these corrections do not alter the study's main conclusions.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Molecular Biology
- Cancer Research
Context:
- A previous study published in Oncology Reports investigated cell proliferation and migration.
- An error was identified in the assembly of data panels in Figures 3B, 6D, and 7B.
- Specifically, overlapping data panels were used for different experimental conditions.
Purpose:
- To correct inaccuracies in the presentation of cell proliferation and migration assay data.
- To provide the accurate data panels for Figures 3B, 6D, and 7B.
- To ensure the integrity and reproducibility of the published research findings.
Summary:
- This corrigendum addresses errors in data presentation concerning cell proliferation and migration assays.
- Corrected figures (3B, 6D, 7B) are provided, showing accurate data for specific experimental conditions.
- The authors confirm that the identified errors did not significantly impact the overall conclusions of the original study.
Impact:
- Ensures accurate representation of experimental results in cancer research.
- Maintains the credibility and reliability of published scientific data.
- Facilitates correct interpretation of cell proliferation and migration data by the scientific community.

02:39lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs
8.7K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

01:22MicroRNAs
3.1K
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...

02:23Abnormal Proliferation
4.6K
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...

03:18Non-LTR Retrotransposons
11.6K
As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

02:23RNA Editing
9.1K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
4.2K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
