Subsequently to the publication of the above article, the authors contacted the Editorial Office to explain that, for the cell migration and invasion assay experiments shown in Fig. 3 on p. 1358, the same data had inadvertently been selected to show the results of the 'Migration / SBC‑3‑rhBMP7' experiment in Fig. 3A and the 'Invasion / SBC‑5' experiment in Fig. 3B. After re‑examining their original data, the authors have realized that the data were correctly shown for the 'Migration / SBC‑3‑rhBMP7' experiment in Fig. 3A. Therefore, the revised version of Fig. 3, now showing the correct data for the 'Invasion / SBC‑5' experiment in Fig. 3B, is shown on the next page. The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for allowing them this opportunity to publish a Corrigendum, and all the authors agree with its publication. Furthermore, the authors apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [International Journal of Oncology 53: 1354‑1362, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/ijo.2018.4469].
