The Editor in Chief has retracted this article because of significant concerns regarding the figures presented in this work, which question the integrity of the data. In Figure 5A the LDH blots for the MKN28 cells and MKN74 cells appear to be the same. Furthermore Figure 5A appears to have been published in a previous article (Zhang et al. 2019). Images in Figure 7 also appear similar to images published in Figure 6 of a previously published article (Zhang et al. 2019). Xin Zhang does not agree to this retraction. Jing Zhang and Fengjun Lius have not responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.
