This Article contains errors.

As a result of an error during figure assembly an incorrect image for internal reference strip tubulin blot was used in Figure 2A.

The correct Figure 2 and accompanying legend appear below.

Overexpression of DACT1 inhibition of cell growth and clonogenicity in 3AO cell line. (a) Representative Western blots of negative control-transfected (NC) and DACT1-transfected 3AO cells (DACT1), a typical type I EOC cell line with clear genetic background which arises from a patient with primary mucinous adenocarcinoma. α-tubulin was used as the loading control (****P < 0.0001). (b) The level of DACT1 mRNA expression in 3AO-DACT1 cells and 3AO-NC cells was detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (**P < 0.01). (c) Growth curve of 3AO-DACT1 cells and 3AO-NC cells (p < 0.05, paired t test). Cell numbers were assessed by MTT assay from days 0 to 7. (d) and (e) The effect of DACT1 overexpression on 3AO cell colony formation. 3AO-DACT1 or 3AO-NC were incubated for 12 days and colonies of over 50 cells were counted after staining with crystal violet. (***P < 0.001). (f) The effect of DACT1 on 3AO cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry (**P < 0.01). All the experiment was repeated at least three times.
