The original version of this Article contained errors in Figure 7. In panel 7B, the image of panel ‘scrambled shRNA’ was a duplication of panel image 2A, ‘scrambled shRNA’. Additionally, in Figure 7C the images of ‘scrambled shRNA’ were duplicated from the ‘emerin shRNA’ panel images.

The original Figure 7 and accompanying legend appear below.

Reducing emerin in MDA-231 cells increases their impeded migration. (A) A violin plot of the number of cells migrating through 8 µm trans-well pores is shown for MDA-231, control shRNA, emerin shRNA, and scrambled shRNA MDA-231 cell lines (N = 5 fields). The mean is depicted as the dark dashed line and the thin dashed lines represent the first and third quartiles. *P < 0.0037 compared to control shRNA, one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison; 3 biological replicates were used for each cell line. (B) Representative DAPI images of the cells that successfully migrated in the trans-well assays in A. (C) Scratch-wound healing assay. MDA-231, control shRNA, emerin shRNA, and scrambled shRNA MDA-231 cell lines were plated, scratched with a pipette tip, and migration into the wound area was monitored every 2 h for 8 h. Representative phase images are shown. (D) The rate of scratch wound healing, which refers to the ability of cells to migrate into the wound area, is shown with SEM. Two-way ANOVA was used, and no significant differences were seen.
