Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that certain of the lanes shown in the DNA agarose gel electrophoresis experiment in Figs. 2D bore some striking similarities; furthermore, there were unexpectedly similar-looking bands included within the gel slices for the western blotting experiments portrayed in Fig. 3B and C. The Editor of Oncology Reports independently received a request from the authors that this paper be retracted, and in view of the uncertainties regarding some of the data shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the Editor agrees with the authors’ request that their paper be retracted. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
