Abstract
Following the publication of this article, the authors have re-examined their raw data and realized that the data of each group in Fig. 5B were inadvertently mixed up when the statistical analysis was performed, resulting in inconsistencies comparing between the presented results and the corrresponding results in Fig. 5A. Furthermore, the authors also realized that the expression levels of some of the genes had not been standardized. A corrected version of Fig. 5, showing more representative data for the vimentin and cyclin D blots in Fig. 5A and the corrected statistical analysis for Fig. 5B, is shown below. The authors sincerely apologize for the errors that went unnoticed before their paper was published, and thank the Editor for allowing them the opportunity to publish a Corrigendum. They also regret any inconvenience that these mistakes may have caused. [the original article was published on Oncology Reports 45: Article no. 76, 2021; DOI: 10.3892/or.2021.8027].
