RETRACTION: Epac1-Induced Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer Cells Is Mediated by B-Raf/ERK and mTOR Signaling Cascades.

U. K. Misra and S. V. Pizzo, "Epac1-Induced Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer Cells Is Mediated by B-Raf/ERK and mTOR Signaling Cascades," Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 108, no. 4 (2009): 998-1011, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.22333. The above article, published online on 1 September 2009 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties. Specifically, duplication of image elements has been detected between Figures 2A and 4B, between Figure 3B and 3D, and between Figures 3B and 4C. In all instances, these image elements have been used to represent different experimental conditions. An institutional review confirmed the validity of the concerns. Accordingly, the article is retracted as the editors have lost trust in the accuracy and integrity of the whole body of data and consider the conclusions of the article invalid. The authors have been informed of the decision of retraction.
