The Editor-in-Chief in agreement with the Publisher has retracted this article. Following an investigation, we have found that the published manuscript has substantial overlap with a previously published manuscript [1] in the text and figures (notably figure 1 Kaplan–Meier curves, table values, line graphs and figure 3 western blots). This paper has been identified among of a set of papers that present significant text and data duplication and therefore the data reported in this article are unreliable. The authors are in agreement with this retraction.
