Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figures 2 and 3, as published. The confusion occurred during the preparation of the Figures, leading to a mix-up between the control sample and one of the studied samples (Figure 2A,D), and the control sample and one of the studied samples (Figure 3A). The corrected Figure 2 and Figure 3 appear below.
Figure 2.
HepG2 staining with Annexin V/7-PI; control (A); treated with 30 µg/mL 6-MP (B); 5 µg/mL 6-MP loaded with positive charge liposome [F1] (C); and free positive charge liposomes [F3] (D).
Figure 3.
Cycle arrest of untreated HepG2, control (A); treated with 30 µg/mL 6-MP) (B); 5 µg/mL of 6-MP loaded positive charge liposomes [F1] (C); and drug free positive charge liposomes [F3] (D).
Text Correction
Following the error in Figure 3, there was an error in the original text description. A correction has been made to Section 3. Results and Discussion,
3.4. Cell Cycle Analysis of HepG2 Treated with Free 6-MP and Liposomal Formulation (F1), Paragraph 1:
“When compared to untreated HepG2 cells, which were arrested in sub-G1 (5.2%) phase, G0/G1 phase (29.3%), S phase (18.6%), and G2/M (46.3%), respectively, HepG2 cells treated with 6-MP at a dose of 30 µg/mL showed an increase in sub-G1 (6.7%), G0/G1 phase (37.6%) and in S phase (21.8%) and decreased in G2/M (32.8%) (Figures 3A,B and 4)”.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
