This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the authors, with the approval of the Editor-in-Chief. The journal was initially contacted by the corresponding author to report the unavailability of the raw data of the results presented by the article, as well as the similarity between the Western blots from Figure 11A (MMP-3) and Figure 11C (MMP-3). Also, a significant amount of text has been reused from the articles that the authors have previously published in the Experimental Cell Research 341 (2016) 92-104 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2016.01.010 and the Journal of Biological Chemistry 289 (2014) 14380-14391 https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M113.526772. All of the authors except Nobuaki Ozeki and Taiki Hiyama have reportedly agreed to retract the article. N. Ozeki left Aichi Gakuin University in March 2018 and does not respond to co-authors inquiries, while T. Hiyama left Aichi Gakuin University and could not be reached. The authors deeply regret this error and any inconvenience it may have caused.
请参阅爱思唯尔关于文章撤回的政策(https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal)。本文应作者要求撤回,并经主编批准。该期刊最初由通讯作者联系,被告知文章所呈现结果的原始数据无法获取,以及图11A(MMP - 3)和图11C(MMP - 3)的蛋白质免疫印迹之间存在相似性。此外,大量文本被重复使用自作者之前发表在《实验细胞研究》341卷(2016年)第92 - 104页https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2016.01.010以及《生物化学杂志》289卷(2014年)第14380 - 14391页https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M113.526772的文章。据报道,除小関信明和日山大树外的所有作者都同意撤回该文章。小関信明于2018年3月离开爱知学院大学,未回复共同作者的询问,而日山大树已离开爱知学院大学,无法取得联系。作者们对这一错误以及可能造成的任何不便深表遗憾。
