Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that the vertical axis of Fig. 4D should be marked as "IFN-β", but it is mistakenly marked as "IL6". To ensure that readers receive accurate information, Fig. 4 has been updated and the authors declare that this correction does not affect the conclusion of the article.

The correct Fig. 4 has been provided in this Correction.

The incorrect Fig. 4 is:

Fig. 4

TTN inhibits DMXAA-induced activation of STING downstream signalling in vivo. A–F C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6 per group). The administration group received the appropriate dose of tanshinone by gavage for 7 consecutive days, while the blank and DMXAA groups received equal amounts of excipients, and one hour after the last administration, the mice received an intraperitoneal injection of DMXAA (25 mg/kg), except for the blank group. Serum and peritoneal lavage fluid were taken after four hours. The levels of IFN-β, TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and peritoneal lavage fluid were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (n = 6 per group). Data in (A–F) are presented as Mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test was used to detect statistical differences between the analyzed multiple groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 vs. the model group, NS, not significant
