A Corrigendum on
Protective effects of mefunidone on ischemia-reperfusion injury/folic acid-induced acute kidney injury
by Li J, Jiang Y, Dai Q, Yu Y, Lv X, Zhang Y, Liao X, Ao L, Hu G, Meng J, Peng Z, Tao L and Xie Y (2022). Front. Pharmacol. 13:1043945. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1043945
In the published article, there was an error in the legend for Figure 1F as published. Figure 1F was displayed as “Vimentin positive area (%).” The correct Figure 1F is “NGAL positive area (%).” The corrected legend appears below.
FIGURE 1
FIGURE 1. Mefunidone ameliorated IRI-induced AKI (A) HE staining showed protective effect of mefunidone at various doses of 50 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 125 mg/kg on renal tubular injury on day 2 after IRI modeling (×200). arrows for renal tubular damage. (B) The tubular injury scores of HE staining for kidney damage. (C) Serum creatinine (SCr) levels of mefunidone at various doses of 50 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 125 mg/kg on renal tubular injury on day 2 after IRI modeling. (D) Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels of mefunidone at various doses of 50 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 125 mg/kg on renal tubular injury on day 2 after IRI modeling. (E,F) Histological images of immunohistochemical staining with NGAL and evaluation of NGAL positive area in each group on day 2 after IRI modeling (×200). Mefunidone: 100 mg/kg. (G) Western blot analysis and quantitative data of NGAL in each group on day 2 after IRI modeling. Mefunidone: 100 mg/kg. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 3–5). *p < 0.05, vs. Sham group; **p < 0.01, vs. Sham group; ***p < 0.001, vs. Sham group; #p < 0.05, vs. IRI group; ##p < 0.01, vs. IRI group; ###p < 0.001, vs. IRI group.
Furthermore, there was an error in the Supplementary Material. Supplementary Figure S1 was displayed as “CCK-8 to determine the optimal drug concentration of mefunidone for 24 h for HK-2 cell viability”; Supplementary Figure S2 was displayed as “Mefunidone alleviated kidney fibrosis and inhibited EMT in IRI-induced CKD.” The correct Supplementary Figure S1 is “Mefunidone alleviated kidney fibrosis and inhibited EMT in IRI-induced CKD”; The correct Supplementary Figure S2 is “CCK-8 to determine the optimal drug concentration of mefunidone for 24 h for HK-2 cell viability.”
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
