Retraction Note to: Oncogene https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.onc.1205646, published online 15 August 2002
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted the article. Figure 6 appears to overlap with figure 3 of [1]. In Figure 7A, the SNB19 panels and the Vector panels overlap with figures in three papers published at a similar time by some of the same authors [1,2,3], representing different conditions. The Editors have lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article.
The publisher was unable to obtain a current email address for authors Sajani S. Lakka, Sushma L. Jasti, Douglas Boyd, Nirmala Chandrasekar, Meena Gujrati and Jasti S. Rao. All other authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
