[Corrigendum] EGFR and ERK activation resists flavonoid quercetin‑induced anticancer activities in human cervical cancer cells in vitro

Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors’ attention that, concerning the cell invasion assay data shown in Fig. 4B on p. 7, the ‘0 h’ panels for the HeLa and SiHa cell lines showed a large overlapping section of data, such that these data appeared to have been derived from the same original source where the results from the two different cell lines were intended to have been portrayed. Additionally, upon performing an independent analysis of the data in this paper in the Editorial Office, it came to light that the Tubulin western bands in the ‘40’ and ‘80’‑labelled lanes of Fig. 5C (for the HeLa cell line experiments) were strikingly similar to the Tubulin bands in the ‘0’ and ‘20’‑labelled lanes in Fig. 3E (also for the HeLa cell line experiments). The authors were able to re‑examine their original data, and realized that the data included in Figs. 4B and 5C were inadvertently selected incorrectly. The revised versions of Figs. 4 and 5, now showing the correct data for the ‘0 h’ invasion assay data panel for the SiHa cell line and the Tubulin western blots for the HeLa cell line in Fig. 5C, are shown on the next two pages. The authors regret the errors that were made while compiling the original figures, and are grateful to the editor of Oncology Letters for allowing them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum. Note that the errors in this pair of figures did not have a significant impact on the conclusions reached in this study. All the authors agree with the publication of this corrigendum; furthermore, they apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [Oncology Letters 22: 754, 2021; DOI: 10.3892/ol.2021.13015]
