This Article contains errors.
In Figure 5C, the image for pSTAT3 stain for MCF-7/IL-6 siRNA is incorrect. In addition, the images for MCF-7 co-culture are incorrect. In addition, the figure legend for Figure 5 does not correspond to the arrangement of panels. The correct Figure 5 appears below as Figure 1, along with a revised figure legend.
Figure 1.
(a,b) Relative luciferase activity in breast cancer cells with STAT3 luciferase reporter plasmid, with/without human adipocytes and after IL-6 was blocked. STAT3 luciferase activity was measured after 48 hours. (c) STAT3 phosphorylation and nuclear localization in co-cultured human breast cancer cells with/without IL-6 neutralization and in control cells assessed by immunofluorescence staining. (d) Quantitative PCR comparing the expression of STAT3 mRNA in co-cultured breast cancer cells with/without IL-6 blocking and in control cells. Relative mRNA expression was normalized to GAPDH. (e) Representative western blot analysis of pSTAT3 expression in cytoplasmic and nuclear fraction of co-cultured breast cancer with/without IL-6 neutralization and in control breast cancer cells.
This error affects Supplementary Figure 4, for which the pSTAT3 stain of MCF-7/IL-6 siRNA is incorrect. The correct Supplementary Figure 4 appears below as Figure 2.
