Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/srep28666, published online 27 June 2016
The Editors have retracted this Article.
After the publication of this Article it was brought to the Editors’ attention that some of the western blot data in Figure 3(b) appear to replicate western blot data in Figure 1B in1, which reports an experiment in a different cell type. The Editors reached out to the Authors to request raw data, but were not able to contact any of them, nor to obtain any up to date contact information. Given the concerns about the veracity of the data, the Editors no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions presented in this Article.
Kun Liu, Ming-Ming Gu, Xin-Ming Chen, Shuang-Long Zhang, Kang-Jun Yu, and Qing-Sheng You have not responded to correspondence from the Editors about this retraction. The Editors were not able to obtain current email addresses for Hong-Lin Chen and Shuo Wang.
