Retraction Note: Cancer Cell Int (2019) 19:284 10.1186/s12935-019-1007-7
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
Figure 2f appears to overlap with Figure 8B and 8D from [1].
Figure 6d appears to overlap with Figure 6F from [2].
Figure 4c appears to overlap with Figure 3C from [3].
Figure 2D appears overlap with Figure 1F from [4].
The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions this article.
The authors agree with this retraction.
