This article has been retracted: Figure 1C, presenting IHC staining for SRPK1 in gastric cancer tissues, contains a duplicate image of Figure 1C illustrating IHC staining for neogenin-1 in adjacent normal tissues of gastric cancer, from a previously published paper [1]. Figure 7B, presenting images of wound healing assay in gastric cancer cells, also contains a duplicate image from Figure 3A in a second previously published paper [2], studying epithelial ovarian carcinoma. And images of transwell assay In Figure 7C, are duplicates of images from Figure 6B and 6D in a third earlier published paper describing hepatocellular carcinoma study [3]. In light of these facts, the Editorial decision has been made to retract this paper. All authors agreed with the decision.
