The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article because there appear to be image duplications in the Vimentin, CD44 and E-cadherin rows of Fig. 8F. The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of the data in this article [1].

Xiaojun Fu does not agree to this retraction. Hongwang Song, Chenxing Wu and Shouwei Li have not responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
