The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in Fig. 3. The correct figure and figure legend can be found below. The authors apologize for the error.

Fig. 3. Knockdown of SNHG3 inhibited metastasis of GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.

a, b Knockdown of SNHG3 significantly reduced, and overexpression of SNHG3 increased the migratory ability of GC cells (Wound healing assay). **P < 0.01. c, d Knockdown of SNHG3 significantly reduced, and overexpression of SNHG3 increased the invasive ability of GC cells (Transwell assay). **P < 0.01. e, f H&E staining of the metastatic nodules in the lung of MKN-45 cells which stably transfected with SNHG3 shRNAs (sh-SNHG3-1 and sh- SNHG3-2) or empty vector (sh-CTR) following tail vein injection into nude mice (200X scale bars) and incidence of lung metastasis in mice following tail vein injection of the respective MKN-45 cells. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. χ² test for (f), student’s t test for others.
