In this article the caption of Fig. 6 has been given erroneously. It should be read:

Fig. 6. Targeting ARHGEF2 reduces the tumor growth of prostate cancer cells. A Transwell migration assay in LNCaP-AI cells infected with lentiviruses carrying shARHGEF2. The left panel shows the representative microphotographs from a single independent experiment (scale bar = 100 µm). B MTT assays in LNCaP-AI cells infected with lentiviruses carrying shARHGEF2. Cell growth assessed daily for 6 days using an MTT assay in LNCaP-AI cells. Data were obtained from three independent experiments with samples in triplicate. C Transwell migration assay in 22RV1 cells infected with lentiviruses carrying shARHGEF2. The left panel shows the representative microphotographs from a single independent experiment (scale bar = 100 µm). D MTT assays in 22RV1 cells infected with lentiviruses carrying shARHGEF2. Cell growth assessed daily for 6 days using an MTT assay in 22RV1 cells. Data were obtained from three independent experiments with samples in triplicate. E, F Transwell migration assay (E) from a single independent experiment and MTT assays (F) in LNCaP cells infected with lentiviruses carrying overexpressed ARHGEF2 (oeARHGEF2) G Representative image of the dissected tumors was shown. H Growth curves of xenografts of 22RV1 cells infected with shSCR or shARHGEF2. Data are representative of mean ± SD of n = 5 tumors per group. I Representative image of the dissected tumors was shown. Representative images showing immunostaining (×100 and ×200 magnification) for ARHGEF2, FGFR1, p-ERK, SOX2, CHGA, SYN and Ki-67 in tumor specimens obtained from xenografts. For panels A, C, E two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test; For panels B, D, F, and H, two-way ANOVA, Sidak’s multiple-comparisons test was applied. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001, and ****P ≤ 0.0001.
