Erratum to: Transl Cancer Res 2025;14:595-612.

In the published article entitled “FTO-mediated m⁶A demethylation of SERPINE1 mRNA promotes tumor progression in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma” (Transl Cancer Res 2025;14:595-612; doi: 10.21037/tcr-2024-2507) (1), Figure 3D was published incorrectly. The updated version of Figure 3 and the legend of Figure 3 is provided below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience that it may have caused and confirmed that the error does not affect the results or the conclusion of the study.

Figure 3 The oncogenic function of FTO is dependent on m⁶A RNA demethylase activity. (A) Enforced FTO-WT and FTO-mut expression in FaDu cells. (B) CCK8 analysis of cell proliferation in FaDu cells transfected with FTO-WT and FTO-mut plasmids. (C) Wound healing assay: the healing percent and migration of cells were measured at 48 h after transfection with FTO-WT and FTO-mut overexpression plasmids (magnification, 4×). (D) Analysis of cell migration and invasion capacity in FTO-WT and FTO-mut FaDu cells by crystal violet staining (magnification, 10×). *, P<0.05. FTO, fat mass and obesity-associated protein; GAPDH, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; WT, wild-type; mut, mutant; OD, optical density; CCK8, Cell Counting Kit-8.
