Correction: FOXO3a represses VEGF expression through FOXM1-dependent and -independent mechanisms in breast cancer (Oncogene, (2012), 31, 14, (1845-1858), 10.1038/onc.2011.368)

Abstract

In the published version of this article, the images for cytoplasmic and nuclear FGF7 in MDA-MB-231 cells were duplicated and mistaken for total FGF7 in SKBR-3 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The FGF7 was used here as an extra positive control for VEGF and not absolutely needed. Moreover, the total FGF7 was in fact redundant as the cytoplasmic and nuclear FGF7 was already shown in Fig. 2a. We do not believe that this mistake would have any consequence on the original review process, or the scientific conclusions reached in the article. This correction notice contains the original blot, annotated, and shown in its totality, and the complete corrected Fig 2a.
