This Article contains an error in Figure 6 where the PERK inhibitor ‘GSK2606414’ is incorrectly referred to as ‘GSK2656157’. As a result, the Figure legend,


“A model of the effect of the CSE-induced ER stress on efferocytosis. ER stress and oxidative stress induced by smoking activate the PERK-eIF2α pathway. The results of the experiments using TUDCA, GSK2656157 and salubrinal highlight the therapeutic potential of TUDCA in the impairment of efferocytosis by cigarette smoke.”


should read:


“A model of the effect of the CSE-induced ER stress on efferocytosis. ER stress and oxidative stress induced by smoking activate the PERK-eIF2α pathway. The results of the experiments using TUDCA, GSK2606414 and salubrinal highlight the therapeutic potential of TUDCA in the impairment of efferocytosis by cigarette smoke.”


The correct Figure 6 appears below as Figure 1.
