Chang M, Yan P, Zhang B, et al. Onco Targets Ther. 2019;12:9177–9187.
At the authors request, the Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy wish to retract the published article. Following publication, the authors performed an STR analysis on the A172 cells used in the study and they were determined to be contaminated with HeLa cells. In addition, the authors were unable to provide adequate original data for their study and deemed the findings to be unreliable. The authors requested for the article to be retracted and the Editor agreed with this decision.
Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
