The original version of the article [1] unfortunately contained a mistake. The error occurred in representative images of double immunofluorescence of Fig. 6.

Fig. 6
figure 6

Effects of the miR-129-5p mimic and mimic control on HMGB1 expression in specific cell types of the spinal cord after IR. a Representative photomicrographs showing the localization of the fluorescence signals for HMGB1 in neurons and microglia at 48 h after IR. Arrows indicate co-localization. Scale bars = 50 μm. b Quantification of HMGB1 signals was performed based on the average of three independent images. c Quantification of HMGB1-positive neurons and microglia in the spinal cords at 48 h after IR. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 versus the Sham group. #P < 0.05 versus the IR group

The other data and the conclusion in the publication are real and reliable.

It has been corrected in this correction.

The correct version of Fig. 6 is given in this Correction article.
