Subsequently to the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, concerning the cell migration and invasion assay experiments in Fig. 2C and D on p. 8248, a number of data panels contained overlapping sections, such that data which were shown to represent different experimental conditions had been derived from a smaller number of orginal sources.

Given the time that has elapsed since this paper was published, the authors no longer had access to their original data, but were willing to repeat these experiments, and the revised version of Fig. 2 is shown on the next page. The results obtained were broadly similar to those obtained originally, and therefore the replacement of the original data in this figure with the new data does not affect the reported conclusions of this study. All the authors agree with the publication of this Corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for allowing this to be published. They also regret the errors that existed in the original figure, and apologize to the readership for any confusion that may have been caused.
