This article has been retracted at the request of the editor-in-chief.
Corresponding author D.F. reached out to the journal to request a correction because "Fig. 2F was displayed mistakenly." An investigation by the editorial office revealed evidence for image duplication in identical or altered fashion in Figures 2F and 4D as well evidence of image duplication in identical or altered fashion between Figures 2F and 4D in the this article and Figure 5H in “MiRNA-211 suppresses cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting SPARC in human hepatocellular carcinoma” (Deng et al., 2016, Sci. Rep. 6, 26679, https://doi.org/10.1038/srep26679) and Figure 3B in “Core fucosylated glycan-dependent inhibitory effect of QSOX1-S on invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma” (Zhang et al., 2019, Cell Death Discov., 5, 84, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41420-019-0164-8). This reuse (and in part misrepresentation) of data without appropriate attribution represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The authors do not agree to retract.
