Corrigendum to “The long noncoding RNA LUCAT1 promotes tumorigenesis by controlling ubiquitination and stability of DNA methyltransferase 1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma” [Cancer Lett. (2018) 47–57]

Abstract

We regret to inform you of an error in Fig. 2 of our manuscript. Specifically, the Bcl-XL Western blot band image in the left panel of Fig. 2G was inadvertently duplicated from another paper. Additionally, we have identified the duplicated use of the BCL-XL band in Fig. 2G and the ZEB1 band in the left panel of Fig. 3C, as well as the BCL2 band in the left panel of Fig. 2G and the snail band in the left panel of Fig. 3C. Upon re-examining the original data, we discovered that these errors occurred during the figure editing process. We have now corrected Fig. 2, and these corrections do not affect the data interpretation or the scientific conclusions of our study. To eliminate any potential undiscovered issues of image duplication, we have re-conducted all experiments involving images and replaced them with new images. All authors agree with this correction, and we are grateful to the editors of Cancer Letters for providing us with the opportunity to rectify this error. These are duplicate images and re-experimented images.
