Abstract

Yang Z, Bian E, Xu Y, et al. Onco Targets Ther. 2020;13:989–1000.

The Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised regarding the alleged duplication of cell invasion and migration images in Figures 1 and 6. Specifically,

Figure 1E, invasion, U251 vector, appears to have been duplicated with Figure 6D, invasion, U251 Control.
Figure 6C, migration, U87 Control, appears to have been duplicated with Figure 6D, invasion, U251 Lys05.

The authors responded to our queries but were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation regarding the duplicated images, nor were they able to provide original data that could adequately verify the findings. The decision was made to retract the article and the authors have agreed with this.

Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
