In the published article, there was an error in Figure 7 as published. In Figure 7B, the images of the MK2206 2HCl and MK2206 2HCI + WECP groups were repeatedly pasted at 0 h. However, we did not find this error in the original data, only a repeated pasting error occurred during the image arrangement process. Therefore, we made image corrections based on the original data. The corrected Figure 7 and its caption appear below.
FIGURE 7.
Abolition of the promoting effect of WECP on DPC proliferation and migration through Akt inhibition. (A–D) DPCs were treated with WECP (160 μg/mL) for 24 h. Akt inhibitor MK-2206 2HCl was added 1 h before WECP treatment. (A) Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. (B) Microscopic images of scratched areas were captured. Lines indicate migrating cell edges. (C) DPC migration was quantitatively analyzed and shown as bar graph. (D) Transcriptional expression of β-Catenin, IGF1, and VEGF were detected in DPCs by RT-PCR. Data are presented as means ± SD of three independent experiments. **p < 0.01 vs control; ##p < 0.01 vs WECP group. Note: NS, not significant.
