Following the publication of the above article, the authors have realized that Fig. 5A was published with certain errors; essentially, the authors needed to perform further experiments to validate certain of their results, and the Blank and si-NC control data in Fig. 5A were included from an incorrect set of experiments (the intended si-NUSAP1 experimental data from the flow cytometric analyses, however, were presented correctly in the published Figure).

Figure 5. Downregulation of NUSAP1 expression induces the apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of RCC cells. (A) Apoptosis assay indicated that transfection with si-NUSAP1 resulted in a significant increase in apoptosis in the 786-O and A704 cells. (B) According to flow cytometric analysis, downregulation of NUSAP1 expression resulted in a significant increase in the cell rate of G2/M phase in 786-O and A704 cells; *P<0.05, **P<0.001.

The corrected version of Fig. 5, featuring the panels for the Blank and si-NC control data in Fig. 5A from the same set of experiments, is shown opposite. The authors have confirmed that the errors associated with this figure did not have any significant impact on either the results or the conclusions reported in this study, and are grateful to the Editor of Oncology Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum. Furthermore, they apologize to the readership of the Journal for any inconvenience caused.
