Correction for: MiR-320a induces diabetic nephropathy via inhibiting MafB

This article has been corrected: The authors found that some of the representative images in Figures 6O and 6P were duplications of the images in Figures 2M and 2N, respectively. They replaced the incorrect “Merged” image of ROS detected with the DHE probe in frozen kidney sections from the C57BL/Ks group in Figure 6O with the correct image from the original experiments. In Figure 6P, all three stainings (TUNEL, WT1, Hoechst) and the Merged images of apoptotic glomerular cells in diabetic glomeruli from db/db mice treated with miR-320a+MafB were replaced. The authors stated that since the corresponding quantitative analyses are correct, this correction does not affect the conclusions of the published research.

New Figure 6 panels O and P are presented below.

MafB restoration attenuated miR-320a induced kidney injury in diabetes.... (O) Representative images of ROS detected by DHE probe in frozen kidney sections. Scale bar, 200 μm. (P) Typical images of apoptotic glomerular cells in diabetic glomeruli. Green, TUNEL; Red, WT1; Blue, Hoechst. Scale bar, 50 μm. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n=8, *P<0.05 versus C57BL/Ks, #P<0.05 versus db/db control, &P<0.05 versus db/db control.
