In the original article [1], there were errors in Figure 2A,C, Figure 3A,C and Figure S2C. We noticed that the 37 °C group without DMSO in Figure 3A was duplicated from Figure 2A (the 5 µM group), and Figure 3C (the control group) was duplicated from Figure 2C (the TB (-) group, without DMSO). We found that the light and fluorescence images from Figure 2A (the 7.5 µM group, 20×), Figure 2A (the 10 µM group, 20×), and Figure S2C (the DMSO-treated HSC-T6 group, 20×) were mismatched separately. These were unconscious mistakes during figures processing.
Corrections have been made to the images in Figure 3A (the 37 °C group, without DMSO) and Figure 3C (the control group). The mismatched light and fluorescence images of Figure 2A (the 7.5 µM group, 20×, light panel), Figure 2A (the 10 µM group, 20×, fluorescent panel), and Figure S2C (the DMSO-treated HSC-T6 group, 20×, light panel) have been corrected. The corrected figures are presented below.
Figure 2. Fluorescence labelled Dot1l peptide penetration in cultured cells. (A) Fluorescence microscopy of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled Dot1l peptide with different concentrations. (B) Quantization analysis of FITC-labeled Dot1l peptide corresponding to fluorescence microscopy with different concentration measurements. The statistical analysis is shown in Supplementary Figure S1A. (C) Fluorescence microscopy of FITC-labeled Dot1l peptide with or without trypan blue incubation in the DMSO-pretreated or control group. (D) FITC-labeled Dot1l peptide penetration in different cell lines (MCF7, B16, HSC-T6, Caski, and HepG2) with or without DMSO pretreatment. The statistical analysis is shown in Supplementary Figure S1B,C. Cell lysate fluorescence intensity was adjusted by protein concentration examined by Bradford assay.
