Error in Figure

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figures 5F and 6A as published. One of the images in Figure 4F was inadvertently duplicated in Figure 5F during our figure preparation process. A similar error was also noted between Figure 6A,D. The corrected Figure 5 and Figure 6 appear 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 5. IL-23 production by macrophages enhances colon tumor cell aggressiveness. (A) The level of IL-23 in the spent media of the co-culture system (Caco2/HCT116 + educated macrophages with AA/PGE2/LTA/LPS) was measured using ELISA. (B) The expression of IL-23R, IL-17A were analyzed in Caco2 and HCT116 cells co-cultured with educated macrophages compared to uneducated macrophages. Lane1-Vehicle control, Lane2-AA, Lane3- PGE2, Lane4- Vehicle control, Lane5- LTA, Lane6- LPS. β-actin was used as a protein loading control. (C) Co-culture of educated macrophages with tumor cells increased the self-renewal ability of cancer cells compared with uneducated macrophages co-culture system (Magnification 40×). (D,E) Quantification of organoids formed by tumor cells co-cultured with educated macrophages compared to uneducated macrophages. (F) Migration and invasion assay showed that tumor cells co-cultured with educated macrophages increased migration and invasion compared to uneducated macrophages (Magnification 10×). (G,H) Quantification of the number of migrated and invaded cells. All experiments were performed a minimum of three times. Bars denote standard deviation (SD). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 were considered statistically significant.
