Following the publication of the above article, the authors have informed us that they found errors in two of the published figures that occurred whilst compiling them. In Fig. 8, the representative images selected for the migratory and invasive A375 cells in the Lv-control + miR-367 NC group experiments were found to be overlapping. After having consulted their original data, the authors noted that the error arose during the data acquisition process, and an area of the image captured for the migratory A375 cells was inadvertently re-used as the invasive A375 cells for the Lv-control + miR-367 NC group. Likewise, in Fig. S3, the error arose during the process of assembling the data in the figure: In this case, the (A) migratory and (B) invasive cell images shown for the SK-MEL-28/Lv-LINC00961 + PTEN siRNA experiments were selected incorrectly.
Figure 8.
Upregulation of miR-367 reverses the effects of Linc00961 on the migration and invasion of SM cells. (A) Numbers of migratory A375 and SK-MEL-28 cells transfected with Lv-control + miR-367 NC, Lv-Linc00961 + miR-367 NC or Lv-Linc00961 + miR-367 mimics, determined by a Transwell assay. (B) Statistical analysis of the numbers of migratory A375 and SK-MEL-228 cells. (C) Numbers of invasive A375 and SK-MEL-28 cells transfected with Lv-control + miR-367 NC, Lv-Linc00961 + miR-367 NC or Lv-Linc00961 + miR-367 mimics, as determined by a Transwell assay. (D) Statistical analysis of the numbers of invasive A375 and SK-MEL-228 cells. Scale bar=20 µm. Data from three experiments are presented as the mean ± SD. *P<0.05 vs. Lv-control + miR-367 NC. Linc00961, long intergenic noncoding RNA 00961; Lv, lentivirus; miR, microRNA; NC, negative control.
Figure S3.
Effects of LINC00961 and PTEN on melanoma cell migration and invasion. Number of (A) migratory and (B) invasive A375 and SK-MEL-28 cells, which were transfected with Lv-control + siRNA NC, Lv-LINC00961 + siRNA NC, or Lv-LINC00961 + PTEN siRNA, as determined using Transwell assays. Scale bar=20 µm. Data are from three experiments and presented as the mean ± SD. LINC00961, long intergenic noncoding RNA 00961; Lv, lentivirus; NC, negative control; PTEN, phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromosome 10; si, small interfering.
The revised versions of Figs. 8 and S3 are shown on the next page. The authors regret that these errors went unnoticed prior to publication, and thank the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for allowing them this opportunity to publish this corrigendum. All the authors agree with the publication of this corrigendum; furthermore, they also apologize to the readership of the journal for any inconvenience caused.
