Abstract

Correction for ‘6-Gingerol as an arginase inhibitor prevents urethane-induced lung carcinogenesis by reprogramming tumor supporting M2 macrophages to M1 phenotype’ by Jingjing Yao et al., Food Funct., 2018, 9, 4611–4620, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8FO01147H.


The authors regret that there were errors in Fig. 2A and 3A. Some duplicated panels appeared in Fig. 2A (F4/80 and iNOS+ macrophages of LEC group) and Fig. 3A (iNOS+ M2 macrophages of nor-NOHA group and 20 μg mL−1 6G + Pexidartinib group). The corrected Fig. 2 and 3 are shown below.

Fig. 2 6-Gingerol changed macrophage polarization in lung tissues. (A) Lung interstitial macrophage phenotypes indicated by immunofluorescence. (B) The fluorescence intensity of different macrophage phenotypes. (C) Cytokines in alveolar cavity examined by ELISA. The data present Mean ± SD (n = 5), the experiments were repeated 2 times, and statistical significance was determined by a t test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. Control; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 vs. Normal.

Fig. 3 6-Gingerol changed macrophage polarization in vitro. (A) The effect of 6-gingerol on iNOS and arginase in LPS-induced M1 and IL-4-induced M2 macrophages indicated by immunofluorescence. (B) The fluorescence intensity of iNOS and arginase in LPS-induced M1 macrophages. (C) The fluorescence intensity of iNOS and arginase in IL-4-induced M2 macrophages. The data present Mean ± SD (n = 5); the experiments were repeated 3 times, and statistical significance was determined by a t test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. Control.
