Author Correction: The adipokine leptin modulates adventitial pericyte functions by autocrine and paracrine signalling

Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-017-05868-y, published online 14 July 2017

The original Article contains an error in Figure 5b assembly where the figure in panel “HUVEC + CM” was a duplication of a figure in panel “HUVEC CONTROL”.

The corrected Figure 5 and accompanying legend appear below as Figure 5.

Figure 5.

Angiocrine activity of APC-secreted LEP (a) LEPR silencing inhibited the proliferative effect of hypoxic APC-CM on HUVECs. *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001 versus EGM2 ^#p < 0.05 versus scramble. (b) LEPR silencing abolished the promotion of HUVEC network formation by hypoxic APC-CM. *p < 0.05 versus EGM2 ^#p < 0.05 versus scramble. (c) Blockade of LEP signalling increases the vascular resistance of HUVEC monolayers exposed to hypoxic APC-CM. ***p < 0.001 versus control.
