Abstract Correction to “Zhang Z, Dai DQ. MicroRNA-596 acts as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer and is upregulated by promotor demethylation.

According to the reviewer’s comments, we have re-analyzed the images of the wound-healing assay and revised the charts depicting the analyzed results. The corrected Figure is given in this correction.

TO THE EDITOR

Correction

Correction to: Zhang Z, Dai DQ. MicroRNA-596 acts as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer and is upregulated by promotor demethylation.World J Gastroenterol2019; 25: 1224-1237 [PMID: 30886505 DOI:10.3748/wjg.v25.i10.1224].

In the original publication of the article[1], we found the following errors in Figures 4A and 4B (in this manuscript marked as Figure 1): Three images of the NC and miR-NC groups in the MGC-803 cell wound healing assay were misapplied during the preparation of submission; the mimcs and miR-NC icons were incorrectly edited in the image of the statistical chart. According to the reviewer’s comments,we have re-analyzed the images of the wound-healing assay and revised the charts depicting the analyzed results. The corrected Figure is given in this correction. This correction will have no influence on the interpretation of the entire results and conclusion in this study. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
