The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about overlaps in several images, namely,
Fig. 2C: The vector panel appears similar to the MG63/+anti-miR panel in Fig. 7A in a previously-published article by different authors [1];
Fig. 2C: Linc00337 panel appears similar to the MG63/+NC panel in Fig. 7A in a previously-published article by different authors [1];
Fig. 3B: the vector panel appears similar to the sh-circ-0008003 panel in Fig. 2D in a previously-published article by different authors [2];
In Fig. 7B, the LINC00337 panel appears similar to the LINC01705 OE panel in Fig. 3D in a previously-published article by different authors [3];
In Fig. 7B, the control and miR-1285-3p panels appear similar to the miR-NC and miR-186 5p mimics panels in Fig. 7E in a previously-published article by different authors [3].
The authors did not respond to a request to clarify. Therefore, the Editors lost confidence in the integrity of the article. The authors did not reply to correspondence from the Editors about this retraction.
