In the article titled “Pseudolaric Acid B Induces Caspase-Dependent and Caspase-Independent Apoptosis in U87 Glioblastoma Cells” [1], the identity of the cell line has been clarified following the publication of an Expression of Concern [2].
The laboratory director at the Jilin University Bethune Second Hospital obtained the original frozen cell line and sent the cells to a company for STR analysis (see the Supplementary Materials). The board is satisfied that the cell line tested is the glioblastoma cell line U87 or its derivative.
