Subsequently to the publication of the above article, the authors contacted the Editorial Office to explain that, for the cell migration and invasion assay experiments shown in Fig. 3 on p. 1358, the same data had inadvertently been selected to show the results of the 'Migration / SBC-3-rhBMP7' experiment in Fig. 3A and the 'Invasion / SBC-5' experiment in Fig. 3B.

Figure 3 Effect of rhBMP7 on migration and invasion in small-cell lung cancer cells. Representative images, and quantification of the numbers, of migrated and invaded (A) SBC-3 and (B) SBC-5 cells with or without rhBMP7. rhBMP7, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 7. *P<0.05.

After re-examining their original data, the authors have realized that the data were correctly shown for the 'Migration / SBC-3-rhBMP7' experiment in Fig. 3A. Therefore, the revised version of Fig. 3, now showing the correct data for the 'Invasion / SBC-5' experiment in Fig. 3B, is shown on the next page. The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for allowing them this opportunity to publish a Corrigendum, and all the authors agree with its publication. Furthermore, the authors apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
