Erratum: Electroacupuncture attenuates spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain possibly by promoting the progression of AMPK/mTOR-mediated autophagy in spinal microglia

Erratum to: Ann Transl Med 2022;10:1278.

The article (1) titled “Electroacupuncture attenuates spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain possibly by promoting the progression of AMPK/mTOR-mediated autophagy in spinal microglia” (doi: 10.21037/atm-22-5273) unfortunately contains errors in Figure 2, which contains duplicated pictures. The legend of Figure 2 remains correct.

Figure 2 in the original article:

The correct version of Figure 2 is shown below.

Figure 2 Immunofluorescence staining results of astrocytes, microglial cells, and neurons in the ipsilateral dorsal horn of the lumbar spinal cord of rats with SNI and rats in the sham-operated group. (A) In rats on day 14 after SNI, astrocytes (GFAP) and microglial cells (CD11b) in the dorsal horn were identified to be hypertrophic and exhibited greater immunoreactivity than those in the sham-operated rats. Meanwhile, p62 immunoreactivity was increased in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in SNI rats compared to that in sham-operated rats. Additionally, the expression of NeuN (a marker for neurons) did not change significantly after SNI. (B) Immunofluorescence analysis of the lumbar spinal cord for the colocalization of p62, NeuN, GFAP, and CD11b at 14 days following SNI. P62 (red) was colocalized with CD11b (green) but not with GFAP (green) or NeuN (green). Red, p62; green, GFAP, NeuN, and CD11b; blue, DAPI; magnification, ×40. SNI, spared nerve injury; DAPI, 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.

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