Attenuation of Myocardial Fibrosis with Curcumin Is Mediated by Modulating Expression of Angiotensin II AT1/AT2 Receptors and ACE2 in Rats [Corrigendum]

Pang X, Zhang L, Bai F, et al. Drug Des Devel Ther. 15;9:6043–6054.The authors have advised there is an error in theWestern blotbands shown in Figure 6 on page 6050, pSmad2 at 2 weeks.Each band shown in Figure 6 represents one animal, andsix or seven animals were used for each group. The statisticaldifference was calculated from the protein analysisusing every animal tissue sample. Once the overall groupstatistical difference was found, three bands were chosento represent the difference more closely between the control(Con) and curcumin (Cur) groups. The authorsacknowledge the error in using the same bands in lanestwo and three to show pSmad 2 at 2 weeks in the Congroup. The data have been newly and independently validatedfrom additional samples, and the results havedemonstrated symmetrical expression of pSmad2 in theCon group as shown in the correct Figure 6 below.The authors apologize for this error.Read the original article
