Abstract
After the publication of the article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, in the western blots shown in Fig. 5C and D, a pair of data panels were inadvertently duplicated comparing between panels (C) and (D); in addition, the cell migration data shown in Fig. 7F on p. 1852 were selected incorrectly. The authors have examined their original data, and realize that these errors arose inadvertently as a consequence of their mishandling of their data. The revised versions of Figs. 5 and 7, featuring the corrected data for the caspase-8 experiment in Fig. 5C and alternative data for the cell migration assay experiments in Fig. 7F, are shown on the next two pages. The revised data shown for these Figures do not affect the overall conclusions reported in the paper. All the authors agree to the publication of this corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of Oncology Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this. Furthermore, the authors apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [Oncology Reports 40: 1843-1854, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/or.2018.6593].
