Correction: The preventive effect of linalool on acute and chronic UVB-mediated skin carcinogenesis in Swiss albino mice

Abstract

Correction for ‘The preventive effect of linalool on acute and chronic UVB-mediated skin carcinogenesis in Swiss albino mice’ by Srithar Gunaseelan, et al., Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2016, 15, 851–860.

The authors would like to correct two images in panel A of Fig. 8, namely the photomicrographs for linalool alone (i.p.) for VEGF and TGF-β1, as they were incorrect. The spelling of the word ‘Protein’ in panel C of Fig. 8 has also been corrected. The correct Fig. 8A is shown below. This correction does not affect the discussion or conclusions of the original article.

Fig. 1 Effect of linalool on VEGF, TGF-β1 and mutated p53 expression in chronic UVB-exposed mice skin. A. Representative photomicrographs show immunohistochemical analysis of VEGF, TGF-β1 and mutated p53 expression. Brown spots indicate positive staining. The images were captured (40x) from each of the three randomly selected mice skin sections in each group. B. Western blot analysis of Bax and Bcl-2 expression in the mouse skin lysates. The signal of β-actin confirms equal loading of protein samples. C. The quantification of the expression intensity was performed by densitometric analysis using Image-studio software (LI COR, USA.). The densitometry data represent means ± SD from 3 immunoblots and are shown as the relative density of protein bands normalized to β-actin. Values not sharing a common marking (a, b, c and d) differ significantly at P < 0.05 (Duncan's multiple range test [DMRT]).
