This article has been corrected: The authors found that in Figure 1A the X-axis labels for the Normal and Cancer groups were wrongly assigned; that labeling has now been corrected. In Figure 4C, the transwell assay image of MCF-7 cells transfected with negative control siRNA (NC) was incorrect and was replaced with the correct image from the original set of experiments. These corrections do not change the content of the publication and do not affect the conclusions drawn from this research.

Corrected Figures 1 and 4 are presented below.
