<p>There was a mistake in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure&#xa0;1D</bold></xref> as published. When we conducted the Western blots to test the protein level of PCNA, Bax, Bcl2, Caspase3 in cells under different concentration of MPA treatment, the same housekeeping protein (tubulin) was used. However, when we exhibited the representative images in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure&#xa0;1D</bold></xref> and <bold>Figure&#xa0;2F</bold>, the identical picture of tubulin was presented. To avoid the unwanted misunderstandings, we replace the representative images in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure&#xa0;1D</bold></xref> as follows. Of note, the image replacement DO NOT alter the protein gray values showing in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure&#xa0;1F</bold></xref>. The corrected <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure&#xa0;1D</bold></xref> appears below.</p>

<p>There was a mistake in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4"><bold>Figure&#xa0;4.1C</bold></xref> as published. When we typeset the images, parts of pictures showing in <bold>Figure&#xa0;2A</bold> were unconsciously repeated presented in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4"><bold>Figure&#xa0;4.1C</bold></xref>. Therefore, we replaced the improper images in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4"><bold>Figure&#xa0;4.1C</bold></xref> as follows. Of note, the right images were used to access the fluorescence intensity of ROS, so the image replacement DO NOT alter the statistical result showing in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4"><bold>Figure&#xa0;4.1D</bold></xref>. The corrected <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4"><bold>Figure&#xa0;4.1C</bold></xref> appears below.</p>

<p>There was a mistake in <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1"><bold>Table 1</bold></xref> as published. When we typeset the table contents, parts of the RT-qPCR primers were missing.
