Retraction Note to: Cell Death and Disease 10.1038/s41419-023-05812-1, published online 21 April 2023
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, a number of concerns were raised, specifically:
p53 bands in figure 1D is described differently in the original western blot image in the supplementary material
seven panels were found to overlap within figure 2C, 2J and 2M
a western blot was found to overlap between figure 7 and supplementary figure 2A
the actin band in figure 7G is described differently in the original western blot image in the supplementary material
Figures 5J and supplementary figure 3D appear to overlap
Figure 6F sip53+ RhoA-GTP and RhoB-GTP appear to overlap with editing
A panel in figure 2C and two panels in figure 2J appear to overlap with a previously published protocol by the same authors [1].
The authors were unable to provide sufficient original data or a sufficient response to concerns. The Editor has lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article.
