Additionally, in the original article, there was an error. The authorization number “996/2015-PR” was missing for an animal experiment.
A correction has been made to Materials and Methods, Mice:
“WT and Aqp9 KO (B6.129S1-Aqp9tm1Nlsn/Mmjax) murine lines were purchased from Jackson Laboratories (stocks No: 000664 and 37111, respectively). Animal experiments were carried out in accordance with Directive 2010/63/UE, enforced by Italian D.L. 26/2014, and approved by the Committee on the Ethics of Animal Experiments of the Ministero della Salute-Direzione Generale Sanità Animale (768/2015-PR 27/07/2015), the official RBM veterinarian and by the animal care and use Committee of the University of Bari (OPBA di Ateneo) and the Italian Ministry of Health (authorization n. 996/2015-PR). The Institutional Animal Care of Harvard Medical School (protocol #2013N000013) approved the protocol for the treatment of Aqp9 KO and WT mice with DSS. Animals were sacrificed if in severe clinical conditions, in order to avoid undue suffering.”
