The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The protein band of internal control β-actin in Fig. 5c was duplicated as Fig. 3c, which was mistakenly presented (the samples for Figs. 5c and 3c were exactly the same). The statistical analysis for Fig. 5c was based on the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 and HSP27 to total corresponding protein level. As the band of β-actin in Fig. 5c was not used in the statistical analysis, the correction of β-actin protein band will not influence the result and conclusion. We apologize for the inconvenience. Now the corrected blot for Fig. 5c is provided below. In addition, we would also like to add a note that Fig. 6a, c shared β-actin Western blot image, as these proteins were blotted on the same membrane. Also, the same case for Fig. 6b, d. The figure legend should note that samples for Fig. 6a, c; Fig. 6b, d were the same and these pairs of figures represent immunoblot from the same membrane (as n=3 per group). Hence they share the same beta-actin image. We apologize and these changes actually does not affect any data included in the article.
