Correction to: Laboratory Investigation; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41374-018-0085-9; Article published online 29 June 2018

Following publication of the original article, the authors noticed a few errors in Figs. 13:

1. In Fig. 1c2, incorrect molecular weight and name of lamin was provided. The correct molecular weight should be 74 KD and the name of reference gene should be laminA/C.

2. In Fig. 2a, on the western blot image of the R-HSC cells, the wrong reference gene “GAPDH” was listed, which is the same as α-SMA.

3. In Fig. 2b, statistical analysis for the R-HSC cells was omitted.

4. In Fig. 2c, the incorrect image of HSC-T6 with 10 ng/ml HMGB1 was published, which is the same as NC.

5. In Fig. 3a, the wrong gene “GRP78” was listed, which is the same as IRE1α. The western blot of GRP78 is incorrect.

Please see correct figures (13) below.
