Erratum to MiR-140-5p targets Prox1 to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells through the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway

Erratum to: Ann Transl Med 2021;9:671

This article (1) titled “MiR-140-5p targets Prox1 to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells through the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway” (doi: 10.21037/atm-21-597) unfortunately contains errors in Figure 5. There is overlapping elements in Figure 5C between mimic nc and inhibitor nc groups, and an asterisk error in the chart. The asterisk on the mimic nc group of Figure 5C should be on the mimic group.

Figure 5 in the original article:

The correct version of Figure 5, containing the correct figure of mimic nc group in Figure 5C and the asterisk is on the mimic group, is shown below.

Figure 5 Overexpression of miR-140-5p inhibited differentiation into neurons and promoted the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) into astrocytes. (A) 4,6-diamino-2-phenyl indole (DAPI) (blue) and doublecortin (DCX) (green) staining of NSCs after 7 days of differentiation in the five groups. (B) DAPI (blue) and map-2 (red) immunofluorescence of NSCs after differentiation. (C) DAPI (blue) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (green) result after 7 days of differentiation in the five groups. Bar =50 µm. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (*P<0.05).

The authors confirmed this error did not affect either the results or the conclusions of the paper.
