Erratum

In the original article by Lu, et al., entitled “Stimulating Effect of a Newly Synthesized Sulfonamido- Basedgallate on Articular Chondrocytes in Vitro” [Cell Physiol Biochem 2015;37(3):1196-1209, DOI: 10.1159/000430243], there are some errors in Fig. 3 and Fig. 5. The images of cell viability in Fig. 3A: TGF-β1 at day 2 and 1.06×10^-7 M at day 6, and in Fig. 5: phalloidin/Hoechst 33258 staining 0M, 1.06×10^-8 M, 1.06×10^-7 M at day 2, 1.06×10^-7 M and 1.06×10^-6 M at day 4, and 1.06×10^-7 M at day 6 were mistakenly submitted. The correct Fig. 3 and 5 are displayed below.

The authors confirm that all of the results and conclusions of the article remain unchanged, as well as the figure legend.
The authors sincerely apologize for this mistake.

Fig. 3. (A) Confocal laser scanning microscopy images showing the viability of chondrocytes cultured in vitro alone (Control) or with ZXHA-C (1.06×10^-8 M, 1.06×10^{- 7} M, 1.06×10^-6 M) and TGF-β1 (T=15 ng/mL) for 2, 4 and 6 days. Cell seeding density: 2×10⁴/mL (original magnification ×40, scale bar was 100µm). (B) Cell number calculated and analyzed on the basis of FDA/PI staning images. Cell numbers were counted in one image by using the „cell calculating“ toolbar in the Nikon A1 software. The data represent the mean ± SD of three independent ulcutre experiments. Bars with different letters are significantly different from each other at P < 0.05.

Fig. 5. Phallaoidin/Hoechst 33528 staining images showing the morphology of chondrocyted cultured in vitro alone (Control) or with ZXHA-C (1.06×10^-8 M, 1.06×10^-7 M, 1.06×10^-6 M) and TGF-β1 (T=15 ng/mL) for 2, 4 and 6 days. Cell seeding density: 2×10⁴/mL (Original magnification ×100, scale bar was 100µm).
