Correction on: Qu L, Xin Y, Feng J, Ren X, Li Z, Chen X, Miao G, Chen J, Sun C and Lu Y (2024) Downregulation of PRKCI inhibits osteosarcoma cell growth by inactivating the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Front. Oncol. 14:1389136. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1389136 In the published article, there was an error in Figure 5A and Figure 6A as published. During an AI-assisted image integrity review of our published work, we identified an inadvertent duplication in Figure 5A and Figure 6A (Migration, PRKCI and shcontrol; Wound healing assay, 0h shcontrol and shPRKCI, 24h Vector and shPRKCI). This was an oversight during figure preparation and does not affect the study's conclusions. We have since located the original data and prepared a corrected version of the figure. The corrected Figure 5A and Figure 6A and its caption appear below.Figure 5 The Transwell system was used to evaluate the effect of PRKCI on the migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. (A, C) Transwell migration assay and Matrigel invasion assay for SW1353 cells or U2OS cells after transfection empty vector or PRKCI plasmid for 24 h (shcontrol or shPRKCI for 48 h). Cells were stained with crystal violet (magnification: ×200). (B, D) Quantification of invaded and migrated SW1353 cells or U2OS cells. (Data were based on three independent experiments and shown as the mean ± SEM, **p < 0.01).Figure 6 A wound-healing assay was used to evaluate the effect of PRKCI on the migration of osteosarcoma cells. (A, B) Microscopic images of wound-healing assay data for SW1353 and U2OS cells transfected with empty vector or PRKCI plasmid for 24 h (shcontrol or shPRKCI for 48 h). (Data were based on three independent experiments and shown as the mean ± SEM, **p < 0.01).The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
