Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified minor errors in image-typesetting in Fig. 1; specifically in panels presented in Fig 1c, d, f and g. The corrected figure and caption are given below.

ACTN1 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and predicts a poor prognosis in HCC patients. a The mRNA expression level of ACTN1 in 20 paired HCC and NCL tissues was analyzed by real-time qPCR. b The protein expression level of ACTN1 in 5 paired HCC and NCL tissues. c Representative immunohistochemical images of ACTN1 in HCC, thrombus, NCL and normal liver tissues. Scale bar: 50 μm. d Immunohistochemical staining of ACTN1 in a tissue microarray containing 157 cases of HCC samples. Scale bar: 50 μm. e The expression of ACTN1 was up-regulated in 74% of HCC patients. f-g Kaplan-Meier curve analysis of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in HCC patients based on the expression of ACTN1. h Kaplan-Meier curve analysis of OS in TCGA cohort based on the expression of ACTN1. **P < 0.01

In addition, sections of the mainbody text have been corrected in light of the above. In the ‘Results’ section, under the heading ‘Highly expressed ACTN1 predicts a poor clinical outcome in HCC patients’, the following sentences have been corrected (emphasis given to affected areas):

“Immunohistochemical analysis showed that ACTN1 was highly expressed in 69.4% (132/157) of HCC patients (Fig. 1d and e).” has been corrected to: “Immunohistochemical analysis showed that ACTN1 was highly expressed in 74% (116/157) of HCC patients (Fig. 1d and e).

“As displayed in Fig. 1f, high expression of ACTN1 was positively correlated with poor overall survival (OS, P= 0.027) in HCC.” Has been corrected to: “As displayed in Fig. 1f, high expression of ACTN1 was positively correlated with poor overall survival (OS, P= 0.007) in HCC.”

The correction does not have any effect on the results or conclusions of the paper. The original article has been corrected.
