Retraction Note to: Oncogene https://doi.org/10.1038/s41388-021-02166-w, published online 10 January 2022
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article due to significant concerns with a number of figures presented in this work, which question the integrity of the data. After publication, concerns were raised about overlap of an image in Figure 5E with Figure 3c in an article by different authors and with different data labels [1, now retracted]. Further investigation by the Publisher found additional issues with figures 3D, 5D, 6C and E.
The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the data in this article. Author Chuang Huang disagrees with this retraction. None of the other authors responded to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
