RETRACTION: X. Zhong, X. Wen, L. Chen, N. Gu, X. Yu, and K. Sui, “Long non‐coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 Promotes the Progression of Gastric Cancer via the miR‐145‐5p/ARF6 Axis,” The Journal of Gene Medicine 23, no. 5 (2021): e3330, https://doi.org/10.1002/jgm.3330.
The above article, published online on 8 March 2021 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Jiang Fan; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties on the data presented in the article. Several flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were found. Specifically, multiple image elements were found to have been published elsewhere in a different scientific context. Furthermore, the article presents results from multiple non‐verifiable/unknown cell lines: BSG823, BSG803, BGC803, and GSE1. Accordingly, the conclusions of this article are considered invalid by the editors. The authors have been informed of the decision of retraction but unavailable for a final confirmation.
