[Corrigendum] Emodin attenuated severe acute pancreatitis via the P2X ligand‑gated ion channel 7/NOD‑like receptor protein 3 signaling pathway

Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the rabbit anti‑apoptosis‑associated speck‑like protein containing a C‑terminal caspase recruitment domain (ASC) western blot data shown in Fig. 4A on p. 275 were strikingly similar to data that had already been published two years previously in Fig. 6 of an article in British Journal of Pharmacology that featured the author Xufeng Tao in common. Upon investigating the figure in question, the authors have realized that the data in Fig. 4A in the above article had inadvertently been assembled incorrectly. A revised version of Fig. 4, now showing western blot data from an alternative experiment in Fig. 4A (where the results presented are very similar to those in the originally published article) is shown on the next page. In addition, the authors have realized that the immunohistochemical data shown in Fig. 3A, highlighting the effects of emodin on MPO‑immunopositive stained regions of the pancreas, were not representative of these experiments, and a revised version of Fig. 3, showing replacement data for Fig. 3A, is also shown on the next page. The authors regret the errors that were made during the compilation of the original figures, and are grateful to the editor of Oncology Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum. Note that the errors that were made in compiling 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.
