Retraction Note: Apoptosis (2014) 19:149–164
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article after concerns were raised about some of the data reported. Specifically:
-
The β-actin channel of Fig. 3B appears to be an inverted duplicate of the β-actin channel of Fig. 3A.
-
Lanes 1–2 and 4–5 of the nuclear PTEN channel in Fig. 4D appear highly similar to the p53wt PTEN channel in Fig. 4c.
-
The β-actin channel of p53null panel in Fig. 6b appears highly similar to the p53wt channel in Fig. 4C.
-
The β-actin channel of p53wt panel in Fig. 6b appears highly similar to the p53null panel in Fig. 4C.
The Editor-in-Chief no longer has confidence in the reliability of the article’s findings.
