<p>Mol Med Rep 17: <related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" related-article-type="retracted-article" vol="17" page="1326" id="RA1" xlink:href="10.3892/mmr.2017.7984" ext-link-type="doi">1326-1332</related-article>, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2017.7984</p>
<p>The authors of the above article wish to retract it on account of two reasons: First, the authors have experienced irreconcilable difficulties in deciding upon the suitable order of the authors in the author list. Secondly, due to the authors&#x0027; negligence, the graph featured in Fig. 1 on p. 1328 does not match with the textual description, and the authors intend to rectify this discrepancy by performing further experiments.</p>
<p>The authors regret any inconvenience that this retraction has caused.</p>
