This article has been retracted: Instances of image duplication have been discovered in this paper. Specifically, the WIF-1 panel of Figure 7C contains an overlap with the SFRP1+miR-27a inhibitors image in Figure 7C of an earlier published paper [1]. Figure 2B also contains multiple western blot overlaps with Figure 2B of another earlier published paper [2]. Therefore, the Editorial decision has been made to retract this paper. All authors agreed with the decision.
