[Corrigendum] Overexpression of IL‑9 induced by STAT3 phosphorylation is mediated by miR‑155 and miR‑21 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Following the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, in Fig. 1A on p. 3067, the western blots shown for the STAT3 data in the upper right‑hand gels (for the N3, N4, and C5‑C8 experiments) were strikingly similar to the GAPDH data shown in the lower right‑hand gels (for the C14‑C16 and N6‑N8 experiments). Furthermore, in Fig. 2A on p. 3068, the phosphorylated (p‑)STAT western blots had apparently already appeared in a paper published by the same research group in the journal International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology. After inspecting their original data, the authors realized that the data of interest in Figs. 1 and 2 had inadvertently been chosen incorrectly. The revised and corrected versions of Figs. 1 and 2, now showing replacement data for the upper and lower right‑hand gels in Fig. 1A and the upper three left‑hand panels in Fig. 2A, are shown on the next two pages. Note that the errors made with the assembly of the data in these figures did not affect the overall conclusions reported in the paper. The authors apologize to the Editor of Oncology Reports and to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [Oncology Reports 39: 3064‑3072, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/or.2018.6367].
