Correction to: MicroRNA‑214 promotes alveolarization in neonatal rat models of bronchopulmonary dysplasia via the PlGF‑dependent STAT3 pathway

Correction to: Mol Med (2021) 27:109 https://doi.org/10.1186/s10020-021-00374-4

Following publication of the original article (Zhang et al. 2021), the authors informed us that they misused the wrong file of Fig. 7A. The correct Fig. 7 is given below.

The original article has been corrected.

miR-214 overexpression blocks the effect of the activated STAT3 pathway on bronchial embryonic pulmonary epithelial cells by inhibiting PlGF. A The ultrastructure of alveolar epithelial cells under TEM (×10,000). B Western blot analysis to quantify the expression of antiapoptotic proteins (Survivin and Bcl-2) and proapoptotic proteins (Bax, c-myc, and cleaved caspase-3) proteins in embryonic pulmonary epithelial cells. C Western blot analysis to quantify the expression of the epithelial cell marker E-cadherin and the fibrosis marker α-SMA in embryonic pulmonary epithelial cells. Data are summarized as mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05 vs. pulmonary epithelial cells transfected with miR-214 NC and PlGF NC. ^#p < 0.05 vs. pulmonary epithelial cells transfected with miR-214 NC and PlGF. Multiple comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Each experiment was repeated three times
