What question did this study set out to answer?

To clarify an error regarding an immunoblot image in prior findings on renal fibrosis.

June 17, 2026

Correction to “Inhibition of α1‐Adrenoceptor Reduces TGF ‐β1‐Induced Epithelial‐To‐Mesenchymal Transition and Attenuates UUO ‐Induced Renal Fibrosis in Mice”

Key Points

To clarify an error regarding an immunoblot image in prior findings on renal fibrosis.
Correction made to relabeling of the α-Tubulin and Smad3 immunoblots in figures.
Referencing of the original paper for context and results.
The relabeling error in Figure 4C and 4E does not change the conclusions drawn in the original study.
The corrected immunoblot for Figure 4E is provided to maintain scientific accuracy.

Abstract

Ren, H, Zuo, S, Hou, Y, et al., “ Inhibition of α1-Adrenoceptor Reduces TGF-β1-Induced Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition and Attenuates UUO-Induced Renal Fibrosis in Mice,” FASEB Journal 34 (2020): 14892–14904, https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.202000737RRR. The α-Tubulin loading control immunoblot from Figure 4C was reused and relabeled as the Smad3 immunoblot in Figure 4E. The corrected Smad3 immunoblot for Figure 4E is shown below. This does not affect the results or conclusions of the paper. The authors apologize for this error. The corrected Figure 4 is as follows.
