After publication of this article [1], it was noticed Duane Smoot and Hassan Ashktorab who made and provided the cell line HFE145 were not included in the author list. RNA obtained from this cell line was used in one qRT-PCR experiment (Fig. 2d of the published manuscript).

The author list and author details have herewith been updated in this correction.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
