Abstract:
Following the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that certain of the Transwell migration and invasion assay data panels shown in Figs. 3E and G and 7E and G on p. 1754 and 1757 respectively contained overlapping data panels, both within Fig. 3 and between Figs. 3 and 7, such that data which were intended to represent the results of differently performed experiments had apparently been derived from the same original sources. Specifically, the 'con' and 'pre-con' data panels in Fig. 3 were overlapping, as were the 'pre-con' and 'pcDNA.1-ROR1' panels comparing Fig. 3 with Fig. 7, and the Editorial Office subsequently pointed out to the authors that the 'con' and 'pre-con' data panels in Fig. 3E also contained an overlapping edge. After having examined their original data, the authors realized that these figures were inadvertently assembled incorrectly. The corrected versions of Figs. 3 and 7 are shown on the next page, now showing the correct data for the 'con' experiment in Fig. 3E, the 'pre-con' experiment in Fig. 3G, and the 'pcDNA.1-ROR1' panel in Fig. 7G. 'The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for granting them the opportunity to publish this corrigendum, and all the authors agree with its publication; furthermore, they apologize to the readership of the journal for any inconvenience caused. [International Journal of Oncology 48: 181-190, 2016; DOI: 10.3892/ijo.2015.3241].

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
