Subsequently to the publication of the article, the authors have recognized a need to correct some of its content in order to clarify the accuracy of the article's information.

First, Dr Yongqing Lai should have been included as the joint corresponding author for this paper. Therefore, the information in the correspondence box should have been as follows (changes are indicated in bold):

Correspondence to: Professor Liangchao Ni or Dr Yongqing Lai, Department of Urology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, 1120 Lianhua Road, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518036, P.R. China

E-mail: lncord@163.com

E-mail: yqlord@163.com

Secondly, the printed version of Fig. 5 featured an incorrect alignment of the scratch wound scratch assay results showing the migratory ability of the 786-O cells (the lower panel). The corrected version of Fig. 5 is featured opposite.

Lastly, the funding information provided in the declarations section was incomplete. This should have read as follows (the added information is featured in bold): ‘This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (grant no. 81101922), the Science and Technology Development Fund Project of Shenzhen (grant nos JCYJ20150403091443329 and JCYJ20170307111334308), the fund of the ‘San-ming’ project of medicine in Shenzhen (grant no. SZSM201612066), the fund of the Guangdong Key Medical Subject and Innovation project of the Doctor of Health and Family Planning system of Shenzhen (grant no SZBC2017021).’

These errors did not have an impact on the overall meaning of the paper, or on the reported conclusions of this study. We regret that these errors were not incorporated into the printed version of the paper, and apologize to the readership for the inconvenience caused.
