Furthermore, the expression of LYPD8 was reduced in stage IV tissue compared with that in stage II tissue." v) In the subsequent subsection, "<i>Construction and overexpression of LYPD8 in CRC cells</i>", the first sentence should have read as follows: "The plasmid DNA for overexpressing LYPD8 was constructed using the eukaryotic expression vector (pIRES2), as shown in Fig. 3A and B, and the relative expression levels of LYPD8 in the RTO, SW480 HCT116 and SW620 cells were examined by RT-qPCR analysis. Here, LYPD8 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
