Erratum to: Linc00152 promotes proliferation in gastric cancer through the EGFR-dependent pathway

The Original Article was published on 04 November 2015

Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contained several errors:

  • Table 1 included incorrect EGFR data. The EGFR data shown were obtained from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma rather than gastric cancer as indicated. These data were erroneously included during the drafting of the manuscript. The correct version of Table 1 showing the EGFR data obtained from gastric cancer patients can be found below. In addition, the correct version of Table 1 below does not show the TNM stage data reported in the original Table; as a result, the last sentence in the section “Cytoplasm located Linc00152 was increased in gastric cancer” should read “Here we found significant correlation with tumour size instead of tumour number, differentiation grade or metastasis.”

    Table 1 Clinical relevance of Linc00152 and EGFR and patients with gastric cancer
  • In Figure 5, panel a was replicated as panel c. The correct Figure 5 can be found below.

    Linc00152 highly correlated with EGFR and constitutively activated PI3K/AKT signaling. a Different expression of EGFR mRNA in 72 pairs tissues from gastric cancer patients. b The protein expression level of EGFR in patients with gastric cancer. c, d Patients was divided into Linc00152high and Linc00152low groups based on the median of Linc00152 expression. The mRNA (panel c) and protein expression (panel d) of EGFR were compared in the two groups. e Pearson analysis was performed in calculating the correlation of Linc00152 and EGFR with log-transformed data. f The activation of PI3K/AKT signaling was measured by detecting the p-EGFR, p-PI3K and p-AKT in both cells line and tumors from Xenograft model. Data was presented with mean ± SEM

The correct Table 1 and Fig. 5c, as well as the acknowledgements, can be found below correctly.
