RESUMEN
Following the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew to the authors' attention that, among Figs. 1D, 2A and 4B, certain of the control western blots had been reused in different blots. The authors have retrieved and reexamined their original data, and were able to identify the correct control western blots where the data had been inadvertently duplicated in the affected original figures. The revised versions of Figs. 2 and 4, now featuring the correct control western blots, are shown in the subsequent two pages. The authors regret that the data in question featured in the original article had been reused, and thank the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for granting them the opportunity to publish this corrigendum. All the authors agree with the publication of this corrigendum; furthermore, they apologize to the readership of the journal for any inconvenience caused.
