Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the cell migration and invasion assay data shown in Fig. 1A and B on p. 415 contained a number of overlapping data sections, such that data which were intended to show the results from differently performed experiments had apparently been derived from the same original sources. In view of the large number of panels containing overlapping sections of data that were identified in Fig. 1, the Editor of has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal due to a lack of confidence in the presented data. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

上述论文发表后,一位关注此事的读者提醒编辑注意,第415页图1A和B所示的细胞迁移和侵袭试验数据包含一些重叠的数据部分,以至于本应显示不同实验结果的数据显然来自相同的原始来源。鉴于在图1中发现大量包含数据重叠部分的图板,《分子医学报告》的编辑决定,由于对所呈现数据缺乏信心,应从该期刊撤回此论文。已要求作者对此类问题作出解释,但编辑部未收到答复。编辑就由此造成的不便向读者致歉。[《分子医学报告》9: 413 - 418, 2014; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2013.1836]
