After publication of this article [1], it was brought to our attention that figure 5 is incorrect.
The incorrect Fig. 5:Fig. 5PPARα mediated ether-lipids accumulation promote cell mobility and metastasis. A HCC cells, specifically Tong and Huh7 cells, were treated with ether-linked phospholipids (either PC O– or PE O–; 10 nM) to evaluate their migration and invasion activities. The presented migration/invasion data were averaged from three to four independent experiments. B The PPARα mRNA expression (upper panel) and the PPAR promoter activities (lower panel) upon treatments of βCA and RA. C The PPARβ (left panel), PPARγ1 (middle panel) and PPARγ2 (right panel) mRNA expression of HCC cells upon treatments of βCA and RA. D Effects of PPARα agonists (βCA, left side; RA, right side; 20 μM) on suppression of HCC cell migration. Counter effects of treatments with ether-lipids (PC O– and PE O–; 10 nM) and βCA-/RA-induced cell migration are displayed. E βCA/RA downregulated ether-lipid abundance in HCC cells. Volcano-plot showed differential expression of lipid species, where blue-dots represents PE O– and PC O–. F Migration of Tong cells, as determined through a wound-healing assay 48 h after fenofibrate (FF; a PPARα agonist) treatment. G 3D spheroid images of filopodia with or without FF treatment. All in vitro results were derived from a minimum of three consistent experiments; * for p < 0.05, ** for p < 0.01, *** for p < 0.001, and **** for p < 0.0001
