Irisin mediates effects on bone and fat via αV integrin receptors [Erratum].

Cell. 2019 Jul 11;178(2):507-8.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31299203

Note: From the authors: “Our paper identified αV integrins as the cellular receptors for irisin, acting in osteocytes and adipocytes. During figure preparation, we inadvertently duplicated the β-actin western blot image from Figure S6A in Figure S4C. We have now corrected Figure S4C with the β-actin control that was executed with the experiment shown. In addition, in Figure S4D, the protein integrin α was mistakenly labeled as “integrin αV.” This label has been amended. The corrected figure appears below and in the paper online. We apologize for any confusion this duplication may have caused.” The original article was: Kim H, Wrann CD, Jedrychowski M, Vidoni S, Kitase Y, Nagano K, Zhou C, Chou J, Parkman VA, Novick SJ, Strutzenberg TS, Pascal BD, Le PT, Brooks DJ, Roche AM, Gerber KK, Mattheis L, Chen W, Tu H, Bouxsein ML, Griffin PR, Baron R, Rosen CJ, Bonewald LF, Spiegelman BM.
