In our paper 1, there were 3 errors due to the mishandling of the order of the figures when we were revising the manuscript. We regret that we did not detect these errors before publication.

We all authors feel sorry for this carelessness. The corrected text and figures are shown below. These revisions do not alter the scientific conclusions of the manuscript.

(1) In the abstract, "Besides, the TCGA database analysis found that both miR-17-5p and MKL-1 increased in gastric cancer, and the prognostic survival of the MKL-1 high expression group was reduced." This sentence appears 2 times. Therefore, the second occurrence should be omitted in the abstract.

(2) The figure legend in Figure 5G. “The expression of MKL-1 after overexpression of miR-17-5p mimic by using Western Blot and RT-PCR.” should be changed to “The expression of MKL-1 after overexpression of miR-17-5p mimic by using Western Blot (Western Blot and relative gray scale)”. Also, on page 2286, paragraph 1, line 3 is revised to “......the results of Western Blot showed that......”.

(3) The images of Figures 2B and Figure 6G were incorrectly used. The correct Figures 2B and Figure 6G are as follows:
