Area Of Science
- Oncology
- Cell Biology
- Molecular Biology
Context
- The study investigated cell migration and invasion in the 786-O cell line.
- Transwell assays were employed to assess these cellular behaviors.
Purpose
- To correct an error in the presentation of data for the 786-O cell line in Fig. 6B.
- To ensure accurate representation of cell migration and invasion experimental results.
Summary
- A previously published figure (Fig. 6B) contained an incorrectly used data panel for the 'Invasion' assay in the 786-O cell line.
- The authors identified that the 'Invasion' panel (b-1) was inadvertently duplicated from the 'Migration' panel (a-1).
- A revised Fig. 6 is provided with the correct data for the invasion experiment, ensuring accurate data representation.
Impact
- This corrigendum rectifies a data presentation error without altering the study's original findings or conclusions.
- Ensures the integrity and accuracy of published scientific data for the 786-O cell line.
- Maintains reader confidence in the reported results and conclusions of the study.

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...
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,...
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...

When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
