Correction: Upregulated claudin-1 expression promotes colitis-associated cancer by promoting β-catenin phosphorylation and activation in Notch/p-AKT-dependent manner.

In Fig. 1 legend, should read as follows: Cld-1 intensifies colitis, leads to impaired recovery from DSS induction and triggers dysplasia: a Schematic illustration of the experimental protocol. Age-matched and sex-matched WT (n = 8) and Cld-1 Tg (n = 8) mice were treated with 2.5% DSS in drinking water for 7 days ad libitum (colitis group), followed by drinking water for 10 days (DSS recovery group). b Representative histological images of WT and Cld-1 Tg mice under DSS and DSS recovery protocol showing regenerative crypts in WT DSS Recovery and dysplastic crypts in Cld-1 Tg Recovery. c The mean changes in body weight of the WT and Cld-1 Tg mice after being fed with 2.5% DSS were measured every day until day 7 for the colitis group and day 10 for the DSS recovery group. The percentage of mice possessing dysplastic crypt in the recovery protocol among WT and Cld-1 Tg groups. Results are statistically significant at p < 0.05. Values sharing following symbols differ significantly, asterisk (*) compared with WT DSS Recovery.
