Retraction Note to: Cell Death & Disease https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-019-1736-5, published online 01 July 2019

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article after irregularities were noted within several figures of this article, specifically:

  • Overlap has been noted between the blots in Figure 5

  • Image irregularities have been noted in Figure S1C

  • Figure. 2E overlaps with Fig. 2A and B from a previously published article [1]

The Editor-in-Chief has therefore lost confidence in the reliabiltiy of the work presented in this article.

The authors have not responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
