Subsequently to the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that some of the data panels shown in Fig. 6A on p. 90 appeared to contain overlapping data, such that the data may have been derived from the same original source where different experimental conditions were portrayed in the figure. The data that appeared to be overlapping were featured in the H/R and H/R+DH+Z panels (both the merged and the unmerged data panels). The authors have re-examined their original data and realize that they made an inadvertent error during the assembly of this figure. The corrected version of Fig. 6A, showing the correct TUNEL staining data for the H/R+DH+Z experiment, is shown on the next page. Note that the errors made during the assembly of this figure did not affect the major conclusions reported in the paper. All the authors have agreed to this Corrigendum, and thank the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine for allowing them the opportunity to publish this. The authors regret these errors went unnoticed during the compilation of the figure in question, and apologize to the readership for any confusion that this may have caused.
