Retraction to: Cancer Cell Int (2018) 18:176 10.1186/s12935-018-0671-3
The editor has retracted this article [1] because Figures 2 and 4 contain duplicated and modified figures from [2–4]. The data reported in this article are therefore unreliable.
Figure 2m in [1] contains figures that have been duplicated and modified from Fig. 2a in [2].
Figure 2 m in [1] contains figures that have been duplicated and modified from Fig. 6j in [3].
Figure 4i in [1] contains figures that are identical to Fig. 4h in [4].
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.
