This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. An Expression of Concern for this article was previously published while an investigation was conducted (see related editorial: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113812). This retraction notice supersedes the Expression of Concern published earlier. Concern was raised about the reliability of the Transwell assay images shown in Figure 4A, which appear to contain similar features to those found in other publications, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/FE1B7461C358F48E6838BF1622C291; and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. An additional suspected image duplication within Figure 5A was also identified. The journal requested the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the associated raw data. The authors did not respond to this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.
请参阅爱思唯尔关于文章撤回的政策（http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy）。应主编要求撤回本文。在进行调查时，曾发表过对此文的关注声明（见相关社论：https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113812）。本撤稿通知取代了之前发表的关注声明。有人对图 4A 中 Transwell 分析图像的可靠性提出了质疑，这些图像似乎与其他出版物中的图像存在相似特征，详见：https://pubpeer.com/publications/FE1B7461C358F48E6838BF1622C291；和这里：https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249。还发现图 5A 中存在另外一个疑似图像重复。期刊要求通讯作者对这些问题发表评论并提供相关原始数据。作者未对此请求作出回应，因此主编决定撤回该文章。
