In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 5 as published.
The mistake consists of the overlap between the lane corresponding to Lamin b for PT45 cells in Figure 5B and the lane corresponding to GADPH (p21) for PT45 cells in Figure 4A, taken from a previously published paper by the same authors [2].
The corrected Figure 5 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 5. SAHA/DS, particularly with 5-AZA supplementation, reduces pancreatic cancer cell survival, downregulates CHK1, and increases DNA damage in pancreatic cancer cells. (A) Cell survival as evaluated by Trypan blue exclusion assay in PaCa44 and PT45 cell lines, untreated (CT) or treated with SAHA, SAHA/DS, or DS. The histograms indicate the percentage of cell viability relative to the control; data are shown as the mean plus SD from more than three experiments. * p-value < 0.05; ** p < 0.01 and **** p < 0.0001 as calculated by ANOVA test. In addition, the synergistic cytotoxicity induced by combination treatment, as evaluated by the Bliss independence model, is reported (Bliss index > 1). (B) Cleaved Caspase 3 (cl Casp3) expression level as investigated by Western blotting in PaCa44 and PT45 cells undergoing the above-reported treatments. Lamin b was used as the loading control. Histograms are the mean plus SD of the densitometric analysis carried out in three experiments, expressing the ratio between cleaved Caspase3 and lamin b; * p-value < 0.05 and **** p < 0.0001 as calculated by ANOVA test. (C) Representative pictures of PaCa44 cell colonies following staining with crystal violet and histograms representing the quantitative analyses of colony formation shown as mean ± SD of percent on untreated cells (CT). (D) γH2AX and CHK1 expression as evaluated by Western blotting analysis in PaCa44 cells untreated (CT) or treated by SAHA, SAHA/DS, and DS. GAPDH represented the loading control. (E) FACS profiles of Paca44 cells treated as reported above. The numbers indicate the percentage of subG1 events. One experiment out of three is shown. (F) p21, CHK1, and γH2AX expression as evaluated by Western blotting in PaCa44 cells pre-treated (+) or not (−) with pifithrin-α and exposed to SAHA/DS or left untreated (CT). GAPDH was the loading control. (G) p21, CHK1, and γH2AX expression as evaluated by Western blotting in PaCa44 cells untreated (CT) or treated by SAHA/DS in the presence or absence of 5-AZA. GAPDH was the loading control. (H) Cell survival as evaluated by Trypan blue exclusion assay in PaCa44 cell lines treated by SAHA/DS in the presence or absence of 5-AZA or left untreated. Histograms represent the mean plus SD of the densitometric analysis derived from three experiments and expressed as the ratio between (B) cl Casp3/lamin b, (D) γH2AX/GAPDH and CHK1/GAPDH, (F) p21/GAPDH, CHK1/GAPDH, and γH2AX/GAPDH, and (G) p21/GAPDH and γH2AX/GAPDH. * p-value < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; and **** p < 0.0001 as calculated by ANOVA test.
