Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in “Knockdown of miR-9-5p suppresses apoptosis and ECM degradation by targeting BMP2 in NP cells. (A) MiR-9-5p expression by qPCR. (B) BMP2 expression by qPCR and Western blot. (C) Cell viability by CCK-8 assay. (D) Apoptosis in NP cells by flow cytometry. (E,F) Expressions of ECM proteins by Western blot (E) and immunofluorescence (F). Data were estimated as mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001” as published, in which the plot of the control group is duplicated from Figure 2D in the work of Wu et al., 2022 [2]. Upon thorough investigation, this error resulted from erroneous provision of image materials by a third-party collaborator. The corrected Figure 7D appears below. With this correction, the plot of the control group in Figure 7D has been replaced with a new plot. All authors apologize for this error. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

(C) Cell viability by CCK-8 assay. (D) Apoptosis in NP cells by flow cytometry. (E,F) Expressions of ECM proteins and apoptosis-related proteins by Western blot (E) and immunofluorescence (F). Data were estimated as mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
