Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified two errors in Fig. 4k (the Transwell image of sh-NC + Vector SOX2 group was misplaced) and Additional file 2: Figure S2a (the EdU image of sh-NC + Vector NC group was misplaced). The corrected Fig. 4k and Figure S2a using the proper images obtained from the original data can be found below.

SOX2OT promotes the stemness phenotype of BCSC by modulating SOX2. a SOX2OT expression level was positively correlated with SOX2 expression level in BC. b Knockdown of SOX2OT decreased SOX2 expression in BCSCs. c The expression of SOX2 and SOX2 target genes were determined using RT-qPCR. d The SOX2 vector significantly reversed the expression level of SOX2 in BCSCs. e and f Overexpressing SOX2 significantly reversed the spheroid-formation ability inhibition induced by silencing SOX2OT. g and h Overexpressing SOX2 significantly reversed the colony forming ability inhibition induced by silencing SOX2OT. i and j Overexpressing SOX2 significantly reversed the cell migration inhibition induced by silencing SOX2OT. k and l Overexpressing SOX2 significantly reversed the cell invasion inhibition induced by silencing SOX2OT
