In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 6A as published. An error occurred during the selection and arrangement processes of the images. The corrected Figure 6 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 6. Inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway or knockdown of NF-κB (p65) phenocopied the effects of miR-145-5p on the migration, invasion and EMT of ESCC cells. (A) Cell migration and invasion were detected using Transwell assay under caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) treatment. Images of migration and invasion are presented (n = 3), the bars represent 200 μm; (B) Cell migration and invasion were detected using Transwell assay after p65 small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection. Images of migration and invasion are presented (n = 3), the bars represent 200 μm; (C,D) Western blotting assay examined the levels of NF-κB (p65), p-NF-κB (p65), Slug, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin (n = 3); (E) The mRNA expressions of MMP2, MMP7 and MMP13 were determined by real-time PCR (n = 3). NC: non-specific negative control. Three independent experiments were performed. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
