The Editor in Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about an apparent partial overlap between the leftmost SNU-449 migration panel in Fig. 2C and the top LNCAROD+2-DG panel in Fig. 4G. The authors were unable to provide a satisfactory set of raw data on request. Additionally, the issues regarding the provenance of cell lines were not completely resolved in the published version of the article. The editor, therefore, has lost confidence in the integrity of the findings of this article. The authors have not explicitly stated that they agree to this retraction.
