The iron-overload mouse model used in this study was previously reported by the authors in references 1 and 2, which are not cited in the Article.
The data supporting the mouse model is presented in Figure 1 of the Article. The data presented in in Figure 1b appear in reference 1 as Figure 1b; and the data presented in Figure 1c appear in reference 1 as Figure 1c and in reference 2 as Figure 1.
Therefore the legend of Figure 1 should read:
Figure 1. The establishment of an iron overload mouse model. (a) Iron overload induced labile iron pool level (LIP) of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) in a time- and dose-dependent manner showing the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of calcein. (N = 3, ***P < 0.001 vs. CTL). (b) The hepatic, splenetic and bone marrow (BM) iron deposits were exposed to hematoxylin-eosin staining (x400). Republished from [1]. (c) BM cells were subjected to Perl’s iron staining (x1,000). Republished from [1], and from [2] with permission.
The authors apologize for the omission of this information in the original Article.
