At the authors request, we the Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy are retracting the published article. Concerns were raised to the authors attention regarding the duplication of images in Figures 2 and 5. Specifically,

  • Images from Figure 2E, Invasion, si-LINC1116 1# and si-LINC01116 2#, were duplicated.
  • Images from Figure 5E, Migration, Empty vector and Invasion, Empty vector and pcDNA-LINC0116 were duplicated.

The authors explained that errors had been made during the preparation of the figures, but no original data was provided to the journal.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.
