Subsequently to the publication of this paper, the
authors were contacted by an interested reader who was concerned
that they had reported some erroneous information regarding the
structure and properties of small heat-shock protein Hsp22, and its
participation in different aspects of cardiovascular diseases.
After having considered the reader's comments (with
which the authors agree), they have proposed the following change
should be made to the text of the paper: The opening sentence of
the section “2. Protective effect of HSP22 on myocardial
cells” in the left-hand column of p. 2, instead of reading
“HSP22 is a transmembrane protein with a stable tertiary structure,
which contains long α-helices and short β-curls that result in a
high degree of stability (9,14).”, should be replaced by the
following text: “HSP22 has an α-crystallin domain next to the
C-terminus and is mainly found in the cytoplasm (9,14).
The authors regret that erroneous information that
was included in the published review, and are grateful to the
Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports for granting them the
opportunity to publish this corrigendum. Furthermore, they thank
the interested reader for drawing this matter to our attention, and
apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
