Following the publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that in a recent laboratory data re-visit, they were shocked and deeply sorry to find one unintentionally misused picture in the figures caused by incaution of composed type. Details and reasons for correction are shown as follow:

In Fig. 6D, they found that the tube formation image of miR-486-5p mimic group had been inadvertently misused. After carefully checking the original data, they confirmed that they mistakenly selected the images during the process of image label and storage since these experiments were performed in the same period. Because the tube formation images generated from different experiments had been stored within the same folder, the representative image for the miR-486-5p mimic group was inadvertently misassigned during figure assembly. To maintain the highest scientific integrity, the authors have re-conducted the experiments and conclusively found that their repeated data showed consistent result with the previous data. They truly feel sorry for the mistake of the images in this paper. The original Fig. 6 and the corrected Fig. 6 are provided below.
