This article has been retracted at the request of the editor-in-chief. Concerns regarding data sharing were posted to a Pubpeer thread: https://pubpeer.com/publications/C49006124996E554A5A6CC1C01EC99#4. Similarities were found between images in this article and articles in Peng et al. (2021, Front. Oncol. 10, 556908, https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2020.556908), Kim et al. (2014, Oncotarget 5, 8402–8415, https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.2311), and Xie et al. (2015, Drug Des. Devel. Ther. 9, 1679–1689, https://doi.org/10.2147/DDDT.S79431). Image analysis performed by the editorial office confirmed the findings of image reuse with Figures 1C and 2N. Given these issues, the editors have lost faith in the findings presented in the article. This reuse (and in part misrepresentation) of data without appropriate attribution represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The authors do not agree to retract this article. The original retraction notice was undeliverable to authors Q.M., P.X., and D.L.
