The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the data in several figures. Specifically:
Figure 2a has very unusual shapes for flow cytometry plots.
The mito-LC3 western blot in Fig. 4f appears highly similar to Fig. 3e CIII-core2 in [1], which was submitted and published within a similar time frame.
There appears to be a vertical break in the p62 western blot background in Fig. 4f.
The authors have stated that these experiments were outsourced to a third party, and the raw data are no longer available. The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
All authors agree to this retraction.
