T. Gong, X. Ning, Z. Deng, M. Liu, B. Zhou, X. Chen, S. Huang, Y. Xu, Z. Chen, and R. Luo, "Propofol-Induced miR-219-5p Inhibits Growth and Invasion of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through Suppression of GPC3-Mediated Wnt/β-Catenin Signalling Activation," Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 120, no. 10 (2019): 16934-16945, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.28952. The above article, published online on 19 May 2019 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties on the data presented in the article. Specifically, multiple areas of overlap were detected within and across Figures 1D, 2E and 2F. The authors acknowledged that unintentional mistakes were made during figure compilation and collaborated on the investigation into the detected issues. Even though they provided the raw data underlying the study, verification of the material's accuracy proved challenging due to the time elapsed since publication. As full accuracy of the provided material could no longer be ascertained, the editors have decided to retract the article, as they consider the identified issues to undermine the reliability of the presented research. The authors agree with the decision of retraction acknowledging that the identified issues may impact the overall interpretation of the research findings.
