Correction: Atrial natriuretic peptide prevents cancer metastasis through vascular endothelial cells (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, (2015) 112 (4086–4091) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1417273112)

The authors wish to note the following: “During the process of data checking, we detected mistakes in the expression of sample numbers, error bar expressions, and figure preparation. Three members of our team were involved in these errors and despite checking the data ahead of publication, we did not notice the calculation and expression errors in the figure preparation. The senior author apologizes for the inconvenience for these honest errors, which, importantly, do not affect the clinical outcomes or main results of the study. “The error bars in Figs. 2F, 3B, and 4E, and Fig. S5B were presented incorrectly. The legends for Figs. 2 and 3 and Fig. S5 noted incorrect sample sizes. There was an error in the preparation of Table S1. “For Fig. 3, we showed representative images in Fig. 3 A and D and apologize for use of the same image in the two panels and for the confusion it might have caused. We have updated the figure to include an image taken from the same experiment. “We showed the representative organ in Fig. 2 A and C, and showed all image data in Fig. S1 A and C. Considering that the data show the number of metastases, the size ratio change is acceptable because the number of metastases has not changed. We apologize for not making this clear in our figure legend. “Due to an error in data compilation, Fig. S8 data are different and the statistical outcome is correspondingly changed and amended in the main text (italics), on page 4090, right column, first paragraph, lines 13–16: ‘To ascertain the efficiency of ANP administration, we measured the blood levels of cGMP. However, the data did not reach statistical significance when ANP (0.5 μg·kg·min) was infused subcutaneously in the mice (SI Appendix, Fig. S8), although the blood cGMP levels showed a tendency of increase after ANP administration.’” The editor has read and approved these changes. The corrected Figs. 2–4 appear below with their respective corrected legends. The online version of the article has been corrected. The SI Appendix has also been corrected online, with corrections made to Fig. S5 and its legend, Fig. S8 and its legend, and Table S1. Figure presented.
