Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/srep33676, published online 16 September 2016
The Editors have retracted this Article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:
The panel labelled HDAC9 of Figure 1C appears to be a duplicate of the panel labelled TRIM65 of Figure 1E of1;
The panel labelled GAPDH of Figure 2 appears to be a duplicate of the panel labelled GAPDH of Figure 5D of2;
The panel labelled STAT3 of Figure 5A appears to be a duplicate of the panel labelled Smad2 of Figure 5B of3;
The Authors were unable to provide the original data for examination. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this Article.
Feng Liu, Ming Zong, Zhongliang Guo, and Hualin Qi agree to this retraction. Xiaofei Wen and Yi Wang did not reply to correspondence from the Editors. The Editors were unable to contact Xuezhu Li, Jun Wang, Wei Jiang, and Xiaojun Li.
