In the published article, there was an error in Figure 5A as published. The bottom 3 rows of iCAM 1 panel (red colour) are inadvertently swapped with WGA panel (green colour). The corrected Figure 5 and its caption appear below.
FIGURE 5.
S. apetala fruit extracts ameliorates ICAM-1 release induced by neutrophil elastase in vitro (A) The ICAM-1 expression in lung epithelial cells was significantly increased after 1 h of elastase treatment (B) Increase in ICAM-1 expression after 2 h with deformation in cell shape was restored in SAM/Sivelestat groups (C) Complete rounding of elongated epithelial cells with increased ICAM-1 expression reversed by concomitant treatment of SAM/Sivelestat (C) as assessed under Confocal microscope at ×60 magnification stained with DAPI (blue). Anti-ICAM-1 antibody (red), and WGA (green) (D) Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated for ICAM-1 expression at each time point (E) sICAM levels were measured after 1, 2 and 3 h of elastase treatment by ELISA. Significant increase in sICAM levels were observed after second and third hour which was reversed by treatment with SAM/Sivelestat.
