Retraction to: Cell Death and Disease 10.1038/s41419-020-2695-6, published online 06 July 2020
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article at the request of the corresponding author. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
Figure 2d: the TUNEL shNC panel for CNE2 appears to partially overlap with the yH2AX shRKIP+shNRF2 panel for CNE2
Figure 2: the TUNEL shRKIP panel for CNE2 appears to partially overlap with the yH2AX shRKIP panel for CNE2
Figure 6a: the NRF2 Radioresistant NPC panel appears to be partially overlap with the phosphoStat3 panel in Figure 1A in a previously published article by different authors [1]
The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.
The corresponding author has stated on behalf of all authors that they agree with this retraction.
