[Corrigendum] Macrophage‑secreted IL‑8 induces epithelial‑mesen-chymal transition in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by activating the JAK2/STAT3/Snail pathway.

Subsequently to the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that a possible error had been identified in the selection of images in Figs. 1 and/or 7. After having consulted their original data, the authors realized that an erroneous image appeared on p. 593, in Fig. 7F [the 'Hep‑G2 / IL‑8 (5 ng/ml)' data panel], where part of this figure panel was overlapping with an image on p. 589 in Fig. 1C (the 'Hep‑G2 Co‑cultured' data panel). After a thorough review and verification of the data by all the authors, they have confirmed that the original data presented in the paper were accurate, and the error was solely due to the selection of an incorrect image during figure arrangement. The authors confirm that this mistake in image selection did not affect the overall conclusions reported in the article. A corrected version of Fig. 7, including the correct data for the 'Hep‑G2 / IL‑8 (5 ng/ml)' panel in Fig. 7F, is shown on the next page. The authors are grateful to the Editor of for granting them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum. All the authors agree to the publication of this Corrigendum, and apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
