Cannabinoid WIN55, 212-2 induces cell cycle arrest and inhibits the proliferation and migration of human BEL7402 hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Mol Med Rep 12: [Related article:] 7963–7970, 2015; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2015.4477 Following the publication of this article, an interested reader drew to our attention an anomaly associated with the presentation of Fig. 4B. The images captured at the 0 h time point, illustrating the addition of the synthetic cannabinoid, WIN55, 212-2 (WIN), to the BEL7402 hepatocellular carcinoma cells (at concentrations of 5 and 10 µM; upper panels, the centre image and the right image, respectively) were inadvertently selected from the same original image. An error was made during the compilation of this Figure, and an incorrect image was selected for Fig. 4B, the upper right panel (showing the addition of 10 µM WIN). A corrected version of Fig 4 is presented, showing the correct data for Fig. 4B, which pertain to the 0 h time point on addition of 10 µM WIN to the cells. This error did not affect the overall conclusions reported in the present study. We sincerely apologize for this mistake, and thank the reader of our article who drew this matter to our attention. Furthermore, we regret any inconvenience this mistake has caused.
