Author Correction: DUSP5 is methylated in CIMP-high colorectal cancer but is not a major regulator of intestinal cell proliferation and tumorigenesis

Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-018-20176-9, published online 29 January 2018

The Article contains an error in Figure 2, where the western blot showing tubulin has 7 lanes instead of 6 lanes.

The correct Figure 2 and accompanying legend appear below

Figure 2.

Induction of DUSP5 by EGFR-ERK signalling in CRC cells. Time-course showing EGF-mediated induction of (A) p-ERK1/2 and DUSP5 protein expression, and (B) DUSP5 and c-FOS gene expression in LIM1215 cells. (C) Induction of DUSP5 and c-FOS mRNA by EGF requires MEK/ERK signalling. LIM1215 cells were stimulated with EGF (50 ng/ml) for 24 h in the absence or presence of the MEK inhibitor (MEKi) trametinib. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, *P < 0.0005.
