In the published article, there was an error in the Data Availability statement. “The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors, without undue reservation.” The correct Data Availability statement appears below.
“The datasets generated for this article are not readily available because of ethical restrictions. Requests to access the datasets should be directed to Dr. Chih-Wen Wang (e-mail: 960405@kmuh.org.tw).”
Furthermore in the published article, there was an error in Figure 6B. The concentration of NaAsO2 should be labeled as 4 μM. The corrected Figure 6 appears below.
Figure 6
There was also an error in the legend for Figure 7 for NaAsO2 concentration as published. The concentrations of NaAsO2 used in Figures 7A and 7B experiments were 4μM and 1μM respectively which are described in more detail in figure legend.
Figure 7
“(A) NHBE cells were pretreated with 2μM and10μM apigenin for 2 hours followed by combined treatment with 1μM NaAsO2 for another 24 hours. The wound was made and the wound area at 0h and 12h after wound made were analyzed and expressed as Gap%. The representative images were shown. The data were expressed as Mean+/-SEM. All experiments were performed three times. a: statistical significance compared with control group; b: statistical significance compared with 1μM NaAsO2 group.” The corrected legend appears below.

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 7F as published. The image of “apigenin” group is carelessly misplaced during figure organization and caused the image duplication. The corrected Figure 7 appear below.
Lastly, a correction has been made to Section 3.6 Apigenin reversed NaAsO2-induced Fibrogenic changes in vitro and in vivo, Paragraph Number 1. This sentence previously stated:
“NHBE cells were pretreated with apigenin and followed by combined treatment with 1μM NaAsO2 for 24hrs.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“NHBE cells were pretreated with apigenin and followed by combined treatment with NaAsO2 for 24hrs.”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
