Following the publication of this article, a
concerned reader has drawn to the attention of the Editorial Office
that the data panels for the Transwell cell invasion assay data in
Figs. 2A and 6A contained a number of overlaps, such that these
data apparently originated from the same original sources where the
results from differently performed experiments were intended to
have been portrayed; moreover, certain of the scratch-wound assay
data shown in Figs. 2C and 6C had already been submitted for
publication in the following paper, written by different authors at
different research institutes, albeit with a number of
modifications [Shi Y, Wang Y, Luan W, Wang P, Tao T, Zhang J, Quan
J, Liu N and You Y: Long non-coding RNA H19 promotes glioma cell
invasion by deriving miR-675. PLoS One 23: 9, e86295].
Owing to the large number of overlapping data panels
identified in comparing Figs. 2A and 6A, and the fact that the
contentious data in Figs. 2C and 6C of the above article had
already been published prior to its submission to Oncology
Letters, the Editor has decided that this paper should be
retracted from the Journal. After having been in contact with the
authors, they accepted the decision to retract the paper. The
Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience
caused.
