Retraction Note to: miR-484 suppresses proliferation and epithelial–mesenchymal transition by targeting ZEB1 and SMAD2 in cervical cancer cells

The Original Article was published on 07 March 2017

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article [1]. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:

  • Figure 3a: the first and third panel for C33A appear to partially overlap.

  • Figure 3b: panel 2 for C33A appears to partially overlap with panel 2 for C33A in Figure 7b.

  • Figure 7a: panel 1 for HeLa appears to overlap with panel 3 for HeLa in Figure 7b.

  • Figure 7a: panel 3 for C33A appears to partially overlap with panels 4 and 4 for C33A in Figure 7b: panel 6 for HeLa appears to partially overlap with panel 5 for C33A.

The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the data reported in the article.

All authors agree to this retraction.
