The ethics statement reads:
"The study protocol was approved by the Animal Use and Care Committee (Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, document number: SYKX-2008-0050)."
The format of the document number suggests a 2008 approval. Can the authors confirm that this document was specific authorization for the procedures described in this paper?
I ask in part because this same document was referenced in a different paper in this journal for very different research: Shen S, Yang W, Wang Z, Lei X, Xu L, Wang Y, et al. (2011) Tumor-Initiating Cells Are Enriched in CD44hi Population in Murine Salivary Gland Tumor. PLoS ONE 6(8): e23282. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0023282.
"All the procedures described were approved by the Animal Use and Care Committee of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (approval number: SYKX-2008-0050)."
We would like to thank Qiujing Chen for assistance in ordering all the materials. This study was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (grants 81000050, 81300178 and 81370401).

#1 We claimed that the "Measurement of ROS production" study was performed by our group but on a public laboratory platform. We believe all authors listed in our article have no conflict of interest with other research group. #2 SYKX-2008-0050 is the use license of animal experiment of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Ethical Number was not required to provide by “Plos one” journal when we submitted the manuscript.
