Abstract:
Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the 'Control' and 'NC' data panels shown in Fig. 2E on p. 981, showing the results of Transwell invasion assay experiments, appeared to contain overlapping sections of data, such that they were potentially derived from the same original source where these panels were intended to show the results from differently performed experiments. After having asked the authors to provide an explanation of these data, they realized that this figure had been inadvertently assembled incorrectly. A revised version of Fig. 2, containing replacement data for the experiments portrayed in Fig. 2E, is shown on the next page. Note that these errors did not adversely affect either the results or the overall conclusions reported in this study. All the authors agree with the publication of this corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this. They also wish to apologize to the readership of the Journal for any inconvenience caused. [Molecular Medicine Reports 20: 977‑984, 2019; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2019.10332].

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
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...
Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
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...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
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,...
