Regarding this article, after discussion with our other authors, we are sorry to inform you that we choose to retract the paper. The first author of this article had submitted the paper under conditions where the data were not sufficient. In subsequent studies, we found that the HOXA9 expression level detected by western blot in Figure 3C and 3E of this paper was inaccurate. Thus, the conclusions obtained are unreliable. The original data had been lost and we could not replicate this research in the future. Based on these reasons, we regret to say that we have to retract the paper to maintain scientific rigor.
