Abstract

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported errors that were inadvertently introduced in Figs. 5 and 6. Specifically, the icons of b and c in Figs. 5 and 6, as well as the flow cytometry analysis of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells transfected with HSF1-siRNA in Fig. 5 and the SMMC-7721 cells transfected with miR-644a+ HSF1 mut. In Fig. 6 are incorrect in the original publication. The authors sincerely apologize for the error and confirm that this correction does not change the conclusion of the article. The corrected images has been replaced as follows: (Figure presented.).
