Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified some minor errors in Fig. 3 and Fig. S3, specifically:

  • Figure 3e: incorrect images were used for colony formation assay images for CNE2 Vector, CNE2 ZNF671 and 5-8F ZNF671 (top left, top right, and bottom right)

  • Fig. S3a: incorrect images were used for migration assay images for CNE2 ZNF671 at both 0 h and 48 h (left panel, bottom row)

Effects of ZNF671 overexpression on NPC cell viability and colony formation ability in vitro. a qPCR analysis of ZNF671 mRNA expression in CNE-2 and 5-8F cells stably overexpression ZNF671. b Western blotting analysis of ZNF671 expression in CNE-2 and 5-8F cells stably overexpression ZNF671. c-d The CCK-8 assay showed overexpression of ZNF671 reduced the viability of CNE2 (c) and 5-8F (d) cells. e The colony formation assay showed overexpression of ZNF671 suppressed colony-forming ability. All experiments were performed at least three times; data are mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. control, Student’s t-test

The corrected figures are given here. The corrections do not have any effect on the final conclusions of the paper. The original article has been corrected.

Additional file 3 Fig. S3. ZNF671 has no effect on affect NPC migratory and invasive ability. (A) Migration ability was measured using a wound healing assay (200 ×) and (B) Transwell assay with Matrigel (200 ×) in CNE2 and SUNE1 cells with the vector or ZNF671 overexpression. Scale bar: 100 μm; data are mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. control, Student’s t-test.
