Sud N, Wedgwood S, Black SM. Protein kinase Cδ regulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression via Akt activation and nitric oxide generation. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 294: L582–L591, 2008; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00353.2007.
Drs. Black and Wedgwood retract this article for the following reasons: The PKCδ image in Fig. 1C has been reused in Fig. 2C but labeled as β-actin. In the representative images for Figs. 2A and 4A, the same β-actin blots have been used for two different experiments an acute, 30-min treatment with Rottlerin in Fig. 2A and a chronic, 24-h exposure in Fig. 4A. The same image was presented in Fig. 3A β-actin, Fig. 3B PKCδ, and Fig. 4C β-actin.
Although independent experiments have confirmed the major conclusions of the misrepresented data, Drs. Black and Wedgwood agree to the retraction of this article and apologize to the Editorial Board and readership of AJP-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology for these errors.
Dr. Sud has declined to sign this retraction as she maintains that the original data and conclusions are correct.
