Recently we found an anomaly in Figure 1E. The recent results of an MTT assay showed that overexpression of SNHG12 significantly promoted LNCaP cell viability, but suppression of SNHG12 had no statistically significant difference until 96 h.
Although before publication, our previous repeated experiments had confirmed that we could get reproducible results, this anomaly has weakened our confidence in this publication.
There may have been another condition in the system we did not find before. We want to do a further study on the reason why this anomaly happened. Therefore, we believe it is the most appropriate approach for us now to retract the manuscript. All authors signed indicating their approval to retract the manuscript; please see the attachment.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this application, but we think it is imperative. We appreciate what you have done for us.
