Abstract
Subsequently to the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the data panel for the "Huh7+BSA" experiment shown in Fig. 1D on p. 2852, showing the relative size of lipid droplets as determined in morphological studies using oil red O staining, had also appeared previously in the following article published by the same research group [Li D, Cheng M, Niu Y, Chi X, Liu X, Fan J, Fan H, Chang Y and Yang W: Identification of a novel human long non-coding RNA that regulates hepatic lipid metabolism by inhibiting SREBP-1c. Int J Biol Sci 13: 349-357, 2017]. Upon examining their original data, the authors have realized that this data panel was inadvertently selected incorrectly in Fig. 1, and the revised version of Fig. 1, containing the correct data panel for Fig. 1D, is shown on the next page. Note that this error did not significantly affect the results or the conclusions reported in this paper. All the authors agree to the publication of this Corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for allowing them the opportunity to correct this error. Moreover, the authors apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [Molecular Medicine Reports 18: 2850-2856, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2018.9278].
