Author Correction: GATA-4-expressing mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells improve cardiac function after myocardial infarction via secreted exosomes

Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-018-27435-9, published online 13 June 2018

This article contains an error in Figure 2, where the BMSC-cTnT image is a duplication of the NC-Desmin image, and the BMSC-Desmin image is a duplication of the Ex-Desmin image.

The corrected Figure 2 and its accompanying legend appear below.

Figure 2.

The effect of GATA-4-BMSC exosomes cardiomyocyte marker expression. The mRNA expression of (a) cTnT, (b) connexin-43, (c) desmin, and (d) α-actin was analyzed by quantitative PCR in BMSCs following co-culture with GATA-4-BMSC exosomes, NC-BMSC exosomes, BMSC exosomes compared with BMSCs only and cardiomyocyte single cultures. ^*,†,‡,§p < 0.05, significantly different from the *BMSC group, ^†BMSC exosome group. ^‡NC-BMSC exosome group, and ^§cardiomyocyte group. Co, control; BMSC, BMSC only; Ex, exosome BMSC; NC, NC-exosomes; GATA-4, GATA-4-BMSC exosomes.
