Correction to: Acta Pharmacologica Sinica https://doi.org/10.1038/s41401-019-0244-6, published online 24 June 2019

The author apologized that the representative image of Masson staining and Collagen IV immunohistochemistry of kidney tissue (Fig. 8a, c, TSC1^wt/wt, Cre^+/− group) was misplaced. The correct figure is presented. The authors declare that these corrections do not change the results or conclusions of this paper. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused to the journal and readers.

a Masson staining of renal cortex sections of mice. b Sirius Red staining of renal cortex sections of mice. c Collagen IV expression in renal cortex of mice through immunohistochemistry. d Laminin expression in renal cortex of mice through immunohistochemistry. Images a, b, c, and d are representative staining images (magnification, ×40). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM, n = 6. ^**P < 0.01, compared with control; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, compared with TSC1^−/−; ^ΔΔP < 0.01, compared with db/m mice; ^▲P < 0.05, compared with db/db mice.
