Following the publication of the above paper, it was
drawn to the Editor's attention by an interested reader that,
regarding Fig. 4 on p. 2841, four
of the flow cytometric plots portrayed in this figure that were
supposedly describing cell cycle arrest at
G0/G1 phase following treatment with matrine
for 0, 12, 24 and 48 h appeared to be identical with data shown in
Fig. 3 in an article featuring some of the same authors that had
appeared several years previously in the journal Investigative
Ophthalmology & Visual Science, although the experiments
were reported to be different.
Upon contacting the authors, they realized that the
incorrect set of data had been included in the above paper (in
spite of the time that had elapsed between the publication of this
paper and their former study, the experiments for both articles
were performed at around the same time). A revised version of
Fig. 4, featuring the data from
one of the repeated sets of experiments, is shown below. All the
authors agree to the publication of this Corrigendum, and are
grateful to the Editor of Experimental and Therapeutic
Medicine for granting them the opportunity to publish this;
moreover, they apologize to the readership for any inconvenience
caused.
