This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors and Editor-in-Chief. The corresponding author notified the journal that “LncRNA SNHG3 did not affect colorectal cancer cell invasion, which was inconsistent with our published results”. As the results were unreliable the authors requested its retraction. The journal was also alerted to suspected image similarities within Figure 2D, that appear to be present in another publication, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/7855CA1A494A20F55AAE1463D1B648. The journal requested the authors provide an explanation and source data relating to the affected figure. The Authors did not provide an explanation in response to these concerns. The Editor-in-Chief assessed this case and decided to retract the article.
