Retraction Note: BMC Cancer (2023) 23:611
The Editors have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding highly similar images in Fig. 3b, where the siCtrl and siCirc#1 0 h images appear to overlap. The authors have stated that the two images were used by mistake and provided a revised figure for a correction. However, they have been unable to share the original images of alternative replicates of any in vitro experiments presented in this article.
The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
Lisha Zhou agrees to this retraction. Lianghai Wang does not agree to this retraction. Qianwen Wang, Jun Hou, Xiangwei Wu and Xueling Chen have not responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
