The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding overall similarity of the western blot data in this article and a number of articles from different authors published around the same time. Further investigation by the journal identified the following potential issues:
Figure 2a y axis is "Relative protein expression of CREB", but no representative blots are provided, and the figure legend describes the bar graph as RT-qPCR results.
Figure 2e reports apoptotic rate determined by flow cytometry, but no representative plots are provided.
Similarly, no representative data are presented in Figs. 4b, e, g and h, 5b, d and e, 6b, d and e, and 7c and d.
The authors have provided the flow cytometry plots for validation, but have been unable to provide the full original western blot data. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
Longfei Pan has agreed to this retraction, but not the wording of this retraction notice. None of the other co-authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
