In the original article, there was one misplaced image in Fig. 4a (the representative MDM2 blot in Hep3B cells). The corrected Fig. 4 is shown below. The authors declare that the correction does not affect the results or conclusions of this article. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding that this error may have caused.

a Nutlin-3 inhibits binding of p53 and p73 to MDM2 when combined with DOX and increases p53 and p73 activity in human HCC cell lines. Untreated HCC cells, cells treated with 1.25 μg/ml DOX and cells treated with DOX/Nutlin-3 (10 µM) for 24 h were immunoprecipitated with an anti-MDM2 antibody. Immunocomplexes were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-MDM2, p53 and p73 antibodies. Equal amounts of whole-cell lysates were blotted with the same antibodies to demonstrate equal loading. b A schematic presentation for the synergistical anticancer mechanisms of DOX/Nutlin-3 combination in the current study
