Following the publication of the original article [1], we were notified of a mistake in Fig. 5c.

Figure 5c contains the representative images of cell invasion, while Fig. 5a contains the representative images of cell migration. Figure 5a and 5c were both taken at the high magnification (10×). By mistake, the images in the cell migration folder were used in the Fig. 5c. Therefore, Fig. 5a and the statistical histograms in Fig. 5b and 5d are correct, but all the images in Fig. 5c were incorrect.

The conclusions made are not influenced by the mistake of Fig. 5c, because the statistical analysis was performed based on the images of cell migration and invasion taken at the low magnification (4×).

The original article has been corrected to reflect these changes.
