At the authors request, we, the Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy have retracted the published article. Since publication, concerns have been raised to the authors about the integrity of the data in the article, including the duplication of images in Figure 6. Specifically,
- The flow cytometry images for Figure 6C, T24, circFoxo3(-) miR191(-), circFoxo3(-) miR191(+), circFoxo3(+) miR191(-) and circFoxo3(+) miR191(+) have been duplicated with images for Figure 6C, T82, circFoxo3(-) miR191(-), circFoxo3(-) miR191(+), circFoxo3(+) miR191(-) and circFoxo3(+) miR191(+), respectively.
The authors explained they were unable to provide the original data for their study and the results could not be verified. As verifying the validity of the published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, the authors requested to retract the article and the editor and Publisher agreed with this decision.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
