Corrigendum Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm‑α (EPLIN‑α) is a potential prognostic marker for the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer

Following the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, regarding the cell invasion assay experiments shown in Fig. 5A on p. 2493, the 'WT' and 'pEF6' data panels were strikingly similar, albeit the coloration of the images differed slightly from each other, suggesting that these images were derived from the same original source. A second reader also noted that, concerning the scratch‑wound assay experiments shown in Fig. 6B, the images for the WT and pEF6 experiments at the 0 h (top panels) and 36 h (lower panels) time points contained overlapping sections (specifically, the 'WT/0 h' panel with the pEF6/0 h panel, and the 'WT/36 h' panel with the pEF6/36 h panel), suggesting that the two pairs of panels were likewise derived from the same original sources. Upon examining their original data, the authors realized that these figures had been inadvertently assembled incorrectly. Revised versions of Figs. 5 and 6, now showing the correct data for the 'WT' panel in Fig. 5A and the pEF/0 h and pEF/36 h panels in Fig. 6B, are shown on the next two pages. Note that the errors made in assembling these figures did not have a gross effect on the conclusions reported in this study.
