Fang J, Rhyasen G, Bolanos L, et al. Cytotoxic effects of bortezomib in myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia depend on autophagy-mediated lysosomal degradation of TRAF6 and repression of PSMA1. Blood. 2012;120(4):858-867.

On pages 862 through 864 in the 26 July 2012 issue, there are in-text reference errors for Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 references should have been noted as Figure 6 references and vice versa. On page 864, there is also a textual error in the Figure 5 legend.

On page 862, in the seventh sentence of the fourth paragraph in the “Results” section, the figure reference reads “(P = .022; Figure 6A and supplemental Table 1).” The figure reference should have read “(P = .022; Figure 5A and supplemental Table 1).” In the eighth sentence, the figure reference reads “(Figure 6B).” It should have read “(Figure 5B).” In the ninth sentence, the figure reference reads “(Figure 6B).” It should have read “(Figure 5B).”

On page 863, in the third sentence of the first paragraph, the figure reference reads “(Figure 6C-D).” It should have read “(Figure 5C-D).” In the fourth sentence, there are two figure references that read “(Figure 6C)” and “(Figure 6D).” They should have read “(Figure 5C)” and “(Figure 5D),” respectively. Also on page 863, under the heading “TRAF6 is essential for the survival of MDS/AML cell lines and primary patient cells,” a figure reference in the second sentence reads “(Figure 5A).” It should have read “(Figure 6A).”

On page 864, in the first full sentence, the figure reference reads “(Figure 5B).” It should have read “(Figure 6B).” In the second sentence, the figure references read “(Figure 5C)” and “(as measured by annexin mV/propidium iodide staining; Figure 5D, supplemental Figure 5).” They should have read “(Figure 6C)” and “(as measured by annexin mV/propidium iodide staining; Figure 6D, supplemental Figure 5),” respectively. In the second sentence of the second paragraph, the figure reference reads “(Figure 5E).” It should have read “(Figure 6E).” In the third sentence, the reference reads “(Figure 5E).” It should have read “(Figure 6E).”

On page 864, the Figure 5 legend has a textual error. There is an “A” missing from the word “TRAF6.” It reads “Depletion of TRF6 sensitizes cells to bortezomib by regulating PSMA1.” It should have read “Depletion of TRAF6 sensitizes cells to bortezomib by regulating PSMA1.”
