Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/srep04694, published online 15 April 2014


The Editors have retracted this Article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:


- Figure 1B: the HCT116 p53+/+ GAPDH band appears to be identical to the HT29 GADPH band for Figure 4A


- Figure 1B: the hCT116 p53−/− GADPH band appears to be identical to the HCT116 p53+/+ GADPH band for Figure 4A


- Figure 4A: the HCT116 p53+/+ p-JNK band appears to be identical to the band for RKO JNK


- Figure 4B: the HCT116p53−/− control 5-FU(20mu) GAPDH band appears to be identical to the HT29 GAPDH band in Figure 5B


The data reported in this Article are therefore unreliable.


The Authors disagree with the retraction.
