In the published article, there was an error in Figure 4 as published. In Figure 4A, images for mitoSox and mtTracker staining of atorvastatin-treated cells in the left upper panels were mistakenly switched. We confirmed that the analysis was performed in the correct panels.
Figures 4C,D: The labeling for the samples treated with atorvastatin and/or IR is incorrect. The correct description for radiation treatment (IR) should be “− + − +” instead of “− + + +”. Figures 4E,F: Images for TMRM in the left lower panel are mislabeled. The correct labeling of the images should read: Vehicle, Vehicle + IR, Atorva, Atorva + IR (instead of Vehicle, Vehicle + IR, Prava, Prava + IR).
The corrected Figure 4 and its caption appear below.

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 7 as published. The labeling for the samples treated with atorvastatin and/or IR in Figures 7E–H is incorrect. The correct description for radiation treatment (IR) should be “− + − +” instead of “− + + +”. The corrected Figure 7 and its caption appear below.

In the published article, there was an error in Supplementary Figure 3. The labeling for the samples treated with atorvastatin and/or IR in Supplementary Figures S3E–H is incorrect. The correct description for radiation treatment (IR) should be “− + − +” instead of “− + + +”. The corrected figure and its caption appear below.
