Erratum to: Modulation of CYP19 expression by cabbage juices and their active components: indole-3-carbinol and 3,3′-diindolymethane in human breast epithelial cell lines

Erratum to: Eur J Nutr (2013) 52:1483–1492 DOI 10.1007/s00394-012-0455-9

The authors regret the error in the result section of the original publication. The line “sauerkraut juices at the concentrations above 25 ml/l significantly reduced the cytotoxicity” should read “sauerkraut juices at the concentrations above 25 ml/l significantly increased the cytotoxicity”.

In addition, the original publication of the article contains few more errors which need to be amended as mentioned below:

In Fig. 1, the part figures presenting cytotoxicity data of I3C and DIM are incorrect. The correct version of Fig. 1 is given here.

Fig. 1.

The effect of cabbage juices and indoles on the cytotoxicity of MCF7, MDAMB-231, and MCF10A cells. Mean values from three separate experiments run in triplicate ± SEM are shown

As a consequence, the third sentence below the heading “Effect of cabbage juices and indoles on cytotoxicity” in “Results” section should be modified to: DIM was more toxic than I3C (IC₅₀: 22.5–38.1 and 74.3–87.6 µM, respectively) and similarly as in the case of cabbage juices the MDA-MB-231 cells were most sensitive (IC₅₀: 22.5–74.3 µM).

In Figs. 4c, d, and 5f, the doses of DIM should be 5 and 10 µM instead of 10 and 30 µM.

In the title, "3,3′-diindolylmethane" has been misspelled as "3,3′-diindolylmethene". The correct title should be: Modulation of CYP19 expression by cabbage juices and their active components: indole-3-carbinol and 3,3′-diindolylmethane in human breast epithelial cell lines.

The authors wish to apologize that this error was not identified earlier.
