This correct the article published on European Journal of Histochemistry 2014; 58:200-206 doi: 10.4081/ejh.2014.2383, where we have observed that the legends of Figure 2 and Figure 3 were not correctly reported.
The correct legends of Figure 2 and Figure 3 have to be considered as below presented.
Figure 2.
Analysis of SOD3 protein levels in the ascending aortic wall. Western blotting analysis, for SOD3 protein levels evaluation, was performed on ascending aorta protein extracts from six nonaneurysmal aortas (N), nine patients with AsAA associated to TAV and nine patients with AsAA associated to BAV (A); GAPDH was used as loading control. Representative image is shown. Densitometric analysis of SOD3 protein levels (B). Data are reported as mean ± SD. P<0.05.
Figure 3.
Analysis of Erk1/Erk2 phoshorylation in the ascending aortic wall. Western blotting analysis, to evaluate pErk1/Erk2 protein levels, was performed on ascending aorta protein extracts from six nonaneurysmal aortas (N), nine patients with AsAA associated to TAV and nine patients with AsAA associated to BAV (A); the samples were normalized with total Erk1/Erk2. Representative image is shown. Densitometric analysis of pErk1/Erk2 protein levels (B). Relative Erk1/Erk2 activation represents the ratio between the densities of pErk1/2 and Erk1/2 bands. Data are reported as mean ± SD. **P<0.01.
