In the original publication [], there was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. In Figure 2C, the second and fourth panels were the same. The corrected Figure 2 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 2.
NGR1 preconditioning significantly inhibited HG-induced apoptosis in rMC-1 cells. NGR1 preconditioning attenuated HG-induced DNA fragmentation (A), Annexin V/PI double staining (B), and mitochondrial membrane depolarization (C) in rMC-1 cells. DNA fragmentation in rMC-1 cells was determined using TUNEL staining (bar = 100 μm). Apoptosis rate was quantified with Annexin V/PI double staining followed by flow cytometry analysis. Mitochondrial membrane depolarization was detected by JC-1 staining. The rate of TUNEL-positive cells (D), the quantification of Annexin V/PI double staining (E), and the percentage of JC-1 red to green fluorescence intensity (F) were quantitatively analysed, and caspase 3 activity (G) was detected by a fluorescence staining kit. The results are expressed as the means ± SD (n = 10). ## indicates a significant difference from control cells (p < 0.01). Two groups were analysed by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t tests, and multiple groups were analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA); ** indicates significant difference from HG treatment (p < 0.01). (+), treatment with HG or NGR1; (−), treatment without HG or NGR1.
