Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported mistakes in Figs. 6 and 7, and requested to update the figures.

The original published Fig. 6 was:

Fig. 6
figure a

PIWIL2 and miR-146a-3p regulated the apoptosis of TC cell lines. (A) The apoptosis of TPC-1 cells after over-expressed miR-146a-3p or knockdown miR-146a-3p. (B) The apoptosis of TPC-1 cells after over-expressed PIWIL2 or knockdown PIWIL2. (C) The apoptosis of KTC-3 cells after over-expressed miR-146a-3p or knockdown miR-146a-3p. (D) The apoptosis of KTC-3 cells after over-expressed PIWIL2 or knockdown PIWIL2. (E) The flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis of TPC-1 cells after over-expressed miR-146a-3p, knockdown miR-146a-3p, over-expressed PIWIL2 or knockdown PIWIL2. ##: P < 0.01 between groups. N = 6. TC: thyroid cancer

The correct Fig. 6 should read:

Fig. 6
figure b

PIWIL2 and miR-146a-3p regulated the apoptosis of TC cell lines. (A) The apoptosis of TPC-1 cells after over-expressed miR-146a-3p or knockdown miR-146a-3p. (B) The apoptosis of TPC-1 cells after over-expressed PIWIL2 or knockdown PIWIL2. (C) The apoptosis of KTC-3 cells after over-expressed miR-146a-3p or knockdown miR-146a-3p. (D) The apoptosis of KTC-3 cells after over-expressed PIWIL2 or knockdown PIWIL2. (E) The flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis of TPC-1 cells after over-expressed miR-146a-3p, knockdown miR-146a-3p, over-expressed PIWIL2 or knockdown PIWIL2. ##: P < 0.01 between groups. N = 6. TC: thyroid cancer

The original published Fig. 7 was:

Fig. 7
figure c

miR-146a-3p and PIWIL2 regulated the migration and invasion of TC cell lines. (A) The migration of TPC-1 cells after miR-146a-3p was overexpressed or knocked down. (B) The invasion of TPC-1 cells after miR-146a-3p was overexpressed or knocked down. (C) The migration of TPC-1 cells after PIWIL2 was overexpressed or knocked down. (D) The invasion of TPC-1 cells after PIWIL2 was overexpressed or knocked down. #: P < 0.05 between groups; ##: P < 0.01 between groups. N = 6. TC: thyroid cancer

The correct Fig. 7 should read:

Fig. 7
figure d

miR-146a-3p and PIWIL2 regulated the migration and invasion of TC cell lines. (A) The migration of TPC-1 cells after miR-146a-3p was overexpressed or knocked down. (B) The invasion of TPC-1 cells after miR-146a-3p was overexpressed or knocked down. (C) The migration of TPC-1 cells after PIWIL2 was overexpressed or knocked down. (D) The invasion of TPC-1 cells after PIWIL2 was overexpressed or knocked down. #: P < 0.05 between groups; ##: P < 0.01 between groups. N = 6. TC: thyroid cancer
