Abstract
Subsequently to the publication of this paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the same control β‑actin bands had apparently been included in the western blots featured in Fig. 5E and F, even though different experiments were presented in these figure parts. The authors have re‑examined their data and realized that Fig. 5G was assembled incorrectly. The results from all the originally performed experiments were presented to the Editorial Office for our perusal. The revised version of Fig. 5, containing the correct β‑actin data for the western blots in Fig. 5F, is shown on the next page. The authors regret the inadvertent error that was made during the preparation of Fig. 5, and confirm that this error did not seriously affect the conclusions reported in the paper. The authors are grateful to the Editor of Oncology Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish a Corrigendum, and all the authors agree to this Corrigendum. Furthermore, they apologise to the readership for any inconvenience caused.[Oncology Reports 41: 2689‑2702, 2019; DOI: 10.3892/or.2019.7054].
