HOTAIR Epigenetically Modulates PTEN Expression via MicroRNA-29b: A Novel Mechanism in Regulation of Liver Fibrosis

(Mol Ther. 25, 205–217; January 4, 2017)

The authors have discovered that the original article has errors in Figures 2A and 2B that were introduced when a graduate student used the wrong shared image folder when putting together the figures.

In the original Figure 2A, which shows the Masson staining, the image for the CCl₄+Ad-shCtrl group was mistakenly selected from the CCl₄ group instead of the right images corresponding to the mice used for this manuscript. The corrected Figure 2A appears below.

In the original Figure 2B, which shows the α-SMA immunohistochemistry, the image for the CCl₄+Ad-shCtrl group was mistakenly selected from the CCl₄ group instead of the right images corresponding to the mice used for this manuscript. The corrected Figure 2B now appears below.

These corrections do not change the conclusions of the paper and the authors apologize for the error and any confusion they may have caused.
