The Editor-in Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised about overlap between the Merge/KYSE180 panel in Fig. 5B and the Merge/KYSE30 panel in Fig. 3C [1]. The authors have not provided a satisfactory explanation for this overlap. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions presented. Hongtao Liu agrees with this retraction. Qing Zhang, Yinsen Song, Yibin Hao, Yunxia Cui, Xin Zhang, Xueying Zhang, Yue Qin, Guangzhao Zhu, Feng Wang, Jinghan Dang, Shanshan Ma, Yanting Zhang, Wenna Guo, Shenglei Li, Fangxia Guan and Tianli Fan have not responded to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
