Abstract
Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the data for the PTPRK blots shown in Fig. 1B on p. 1129 were strikingly similar to data that had already appeared in a previous publication by the same authors in the journal PLoS One. The authors have re‑examined their original data, and realize how this error occurred. The revised (and corrected) version of Fig. 1, now showing the correct data for the PTPRK blots in Fig. 1B, is shown below. The authors sincerely apologize for the error made in assembling this figure, although they confirm that this did not grossly affect either the results or the conclusions reported in this study. They also thank the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for granting them the opportunity to publish a Corrigendum, and apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
