Retraction Note to: Cell Death & Disease 10.1038/s41419-018-0683-x, published online 22 May 2018

The Editors-in-Chief has retracted the article due to concerns over image integrity

  • In Figure 2, the migration and invasion panels for MS751shA1 appear highly similar.

  • In Figure 5c, the 0-hour time point images for miR221 and miR222 appear highly similar.

  • In Figure 6c, the panels (shcon – HMGA1) and (shA1 – cyclin D1) appear highly similar to Figure 6d panels (Sh – NC and Sh – ROR), of [1].

The Editors-in-Chief has lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article.

Xiangyi Ma agree with this retraction and Fangfang Fu disagree with this retraction. None of the remaining authors have responded to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
