Following publication of this article,1 the authors reported the below errors.

1. Reason for modification: ambiguous description

Third section of RESULTS: Effects of autophagy on the degradation of FN1

Lines 17–20, paragraph 4: The data showed that CQ strongly inhibited autophagic activity and blocked the degradation of FN1 in SCC-25 cells (Figs. 4e, f, g and h) and SCC-15 cells (Supplement Fig. 1b) until 18 h.

Corrected to: The data showed that CQ strongly inhibited autophagic activity and blocked the degradation of FN1 in SCC-25 cells (Figs. 4e, f, g and h) and Baf A1 strongly blocked the degradation of FN1 in SCC-15 cells (Supplement Fig. 1b) until 18 h.

DISCUSSION:

The first sentence of paragraph 3: Vimentin has been excluded as a marker of metastasis in a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer and non-small cell lung carcinoma.

Corrected to: Vimentin has been regarded as a marker of metastasis in a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer and non-small cell lung carcinoma.

2. Reason for modification: Misaligned with the content of Figure

Second section of RESULTS: Autophagic activity in different OSCC cell lines

Line 14: (Fig. 2c).

Corrected to: (Fig. 2d).

Third section of RESULTS: Effects of autophagy on the degradation of FN1

Line 1, paragraph 4: Fig. 4k

Corrected to: Fig. 4a

The last section of RESULTS: Roles of the PB1 and UBA domains of p62 in the degradation of FN1

The fourth line from the bottom: (Supplement Figs. 2c, 2d and 3a-d).

Corrected to: (Supplement Figs. 2e, f and 3a-d).

3. Reason for modification: Mistakes of figure legend serial number sequence

Legend of Fig. 2:

Line 2: c Western blot data. d Migration assay data. e Western blot data.

Corrected to: c Migration assay data. d Western blot data. e AO staining data. f Western blot data.

Legend of Fig. 4:

Line 5: h Quantification of the average fluorescence values of single cells in Fig. 3g.

Corrected to: h Quantification of the average fluorescence values of single cells in (g).

Fig. 5:

b, c serial number error, b label content is incorrect.

Original Figure 5:

Corrected to: Switch the serial numbers b and c. IB: BN1 changed to IB: FN1.

Revised Figure 5:
