Corrigendum to: Tie2-dependent knockout of HIF-1 impairs burn wound vascularization and homing of bone marrow-derived angiogenic cells [Cardiovasc Res. 2012;93(1):162-9; doi: 10.1093/cvr/cvr282]
The authors have contacted the Editorial Office to request a correction to Figure 3 of this manuscript.
The two insets, which are located on the right side of Fig. 3A, were not derived from the larger photomicrographs that they overlay, but rather are magnified images of representative vascular structures in the dermis that stained with the CD31 and αSMA antibodies, respectively.
Although there is no error involved, the authors would like to clarify and have provided a new figure in which the images are presented in a separate column.
This change does not affect the overall scientific message of the paper.
The figure legend for Figure 3 has also been updated:
Figure 3.
Tie2-dependent Arnt knockout reduces blood vessel density in burn wounds. (A) Immunohistochemistry for CD31 (brown staining, top row) and αSMA (red staining, bottom row). Rightmost column shows high magnification images of representative vascular structures found throughout the dermis. Scale bar = 100 μm (left and middle) or 20 μm (right) column. (B) Quantification of vessels per field at high magnification (Å∼100) in Arntf/f-Tie2Cre−(open bars) vs. Arntf/f-Tie2Cre+(closed bars) mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5–9). *P< 0.05 by Student's t-test.
This matter was investigated by the ESC Journals Family Ethics Committee, which recommended this resolution.
