This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Concern was raised about the reliability of the Western blot results in Figures 6E and 7E, and suspected image duplications within Figures 1B, 4A and 5B, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/782E18F3418A54CBE4DB7FFAA5735F; and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. Additional suspected image duplications were detected in Figures 1C and 6A. Our analysis suggested these image anomalies represent either direct duplications of the entire image, or contain several repeated features between or within an image. The journal requested the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the raw data. The authors did not respond to this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.
请参阅 Elsevier 关于文章撤回的政策 (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy)。应主编要求，撤回了这篇文章。有人对图 6E 和 7E 中的 Western blot 结果的可靠性以及图 1B、4A 和 5B 中的疑似图像重复提出了担忧，详情如下：https://pubpeer.com/publications/782E18F3418A54CBE4DB7FFAA5735F；以及此处：https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249。在图 1C 和 6A 中还发现了其他疑似图像重复。我们的分析表明，这些图像异常要么代表整个图像的直接重复，要么在图像之间或图像内包含几个重复特征。期刊要求通讯作者对这些问题发表评论并提供原始数据。作者未对此请求做出回应，因此主编决定撤回该文章。
