Retraction Note: BMC Cancer 14, 243 (2014)10.1186/1471-2407-14-243The Editors have retracted this Article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the data presented in Figs. 2 and 8. Specifically:Fig. 2A(c) appears highly similar to Fig. 2c in [1, retracted] and Fig. 2B(b) in [2].Subpanels of Fig. 8A appear highly similar to Fig. 6d and f in [1], Fig. 4a (3rd row, 1st column) in [3], Fig. 8c in [4, retracted] and Fig. 6B(c) in [5].The authors provided the raw data to address these concerns, but the cell images contained further overlap with the raw data submitted for another paper under investigation. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.Author Faqing Tang has not specifically stated whether they agree with the retraction. Authors Yuejin Li, Na Liu, Zhenlin Zhang, Zhengke Peng, Chaojun Duan and Gongjun Tan have not responded to any correspondence from the Editor or Publisher about this retraction. The Publisher has not been able to obtain current email addresses for authors Guangrong Yan, Damao Huang and Xiaowei Tang.
