Sun Q, Liu Z, Xu X, et al. J Inflamm Res. 2022;15:2601–2615. The authors have advised there is an error in Figure 7 on page 2611. The labels “nucleus” and “cytoplasm” in figure part A were mistakenly interchanged and should read “cytoplasm” on the left and “nucleus” on the right instead. The authors apologize for this error.

The circRNA/miRNA/mRNA ceRNA network was constructed based on the predicted circRNA–miRNA interactions and miRNA–mRNA interactions. Hub-mRNAs were screened by protein–protein interaction network analysis and Cytoscape molecular complex detection. The expression of factors in tissue and in hsa_circ_0031594 siRNA transfection cells was verified by RT-qPCR and the association between them was revealed by Spearman correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed with the pROC R package.Results: The differential expression of 5423 circRNAs, 415 miRNAs, and 3673 mRNAs was identified in CRSwNP subjects compared to control subjects.
