One of the corresponding authors of the article [1] contacted PLOS ONE to request correction of errors in Figs 4 and 5. In response to the journal’s follow up on the above issues, a corresponding author stated that errors in Figs 4A and 5A occurred during the preparation of the manuscript due to the mislabeling of images and folders, and that the E-cad panel in Fig 4A is mislabeled. They have provided an updated version of Fig 4 (S1 File), in which the three blots and associated chart in Fig 4A have been replaced, and the E-cad label corrected to p-AKT, and an updated version of Fig 5 (S2 File), in which the left and right MTT assay well images in Fig 5A have been replaced. Underlying data to support the chart and blots in the revised Fig 4A and the left and right MTT assay well images in the revised Fig 5A are provided in S3–S5 Files. The corresponding author indicated that these errors do not affect the results and conclusions of the experiments. The Mock and Control siRNA panels in Fig 3C in [2] have been replaced in an Erratum [3] which removes the similarities with Figs 2E and 5J of this article [1]. The authors did not respond to the queries about S2 and S3 Figs. PLOS ONE
