Erratum: Cryptotanshinone inhibits IgE-mediated degranulation through inhibition of spleen tyrosine kinase and tyrosine-protein kinase phosphorylation in mast cells (Molecular Medicine Reports (2018) 18 (1095-1193) DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2018.9042)

Abstract

Following the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that they had mentioned that activated PKC phosphorylates IKK β in order that IKK β is relocated to the plasma membrane, resulting in the induction of mast cell degranulation; however, four references the authors had included did not seem to support this statement. The authors have re-examined their paper, and realized that the four references the reader mentioned were indeed cited incorrectly, and wish to rectify this error through revising the third paragraph in the Discussion section, the References section, and an associated figure (Fig. 6C) in order to avoid any further misunderstandings on the part of the readership. © 2021 Spandidos Publications.
