The Editors-in-Chief retracted this article because of concerns regarding a number of figures presented in this work. These concerns call into question the article’s overall scientific soundness. An investigation conducted after its publication discovered similarities between images in this work:
-
The panel labelled sh-control in Fig. 3C overlaps with the panel labelled sh-control in Fig. 3D, after a 90º rotation.
-
The Beta-actin band in Fig. 4G overlaps with a portion of the Beta-actin band in Fig. 2G, after a horizontal flip and a change in scale.
The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the research presented in this article. The authors have not replied to correspondence from the Publisher.
