This Article contains an error in the order of the Figure legends. The legends for Figures 1 and 2 were incorrectly given as those for 2 and 1 respectively.

The legend for Figure 1 should read:

(A) MicroRNA database top predicted targets for microRNA hsa-miR-125b-5p. The number in the center of each circle represents target score of prediction. Full names of all genes are available at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene. (B,C) Bioinformatics analysis of hsa-miR-125b-5p binding to 3′UTR of TRAF6 mRNA. (B) Seed-Matched sequences of hsa-miR-125b-5p in the 3′UTR of TRAF6 mRNA. (C) Target Scan prediction. (D) Cross-species conservation by Target Scan algorithm.”

The legend for Figure 2 should read:

“Expression of hsa-miR-125b-5p and TRAF6 in smooth and damaged OA cartilage tissues. (A) Smooth and damaged cartilage tissues from OA patients (B) Expression of hsa-mir-125b-5p in smooth and damaged cartilage tissues. #p < 0.01 versus smooth cartilage tissue. (C) Gene Expression of TRAF6 in smooth and damaged cartilage tissues. @p < 0.01 versus smooth cartilage tissue. (D) Protein expression of TRAF6 in smooth and damaged cartilage tissues (full length blot is provided in Supplementary Information File). *p < 0.01 versus SC. SC, smooth cartilage; DC, damaged cartilage. Band images were digitally captured by the Un-Scan-It software and the band intensities of TRAF6 proteins were divided by band intensities of β-actin and are expressed in average pixels.”
