Erratum

In the article “Stimulating Effect of a Newly Synthesized Sulfonamido-Basedgallate on Articular Chondrocytes in Vitro” [Cell Physiol Biochem 2015;37:1196-1209; DOI: 10.1159/000430243] by Lu et al., incorrect representative images were included in Figure 3A (1.06x10-8 M at day 2, 0 M at day 4, 1.06x10-8 M at day 4, 1.06x10-7 M at day 4 and 1.06x10-8 M at day 6) and Figure 4 (1.06x10-7 M at day 4). This was as a result of poor record keeping at the time of the experiment. The correct files have been verified by review of the laboratory notebooks and the authors state that the results and conclusions of the article remain unchanged. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The corrected Figure 3 and Figure 4 are shown here. The corrected Figure 3 includes images corrected in a previous Erratum (https://doi.org/10.33594/000000137).

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. 4. Hematoxylin-eosin staining images showing the morphology of chondrocytes cultured in vitro alone (Control) or with ZHA-C (1.05 × 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 × 200, scale bar was 100 µm).
