The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After a correction was published [1] to address concerns in a number of figures, additional concerns were raised, specifically:

  • Figure 2a: there appears to be overlap between the miR-NC and the sh-NC panels

  • Figure 2c: the sh-30d panel appears to be identical to the DU145 MYHPT1 panel of Supplementary figure 9c.

  • Supplementary Figure 5D: the 0h panels for miR-NC and miR-30d appear to be identical.

  • Supplementary Figure 6A: the sh-NC panel appears to overlap with the DU145 miR-30d+vector panel in figure 9a, but rotated.

  • Supplementary Figure 9A: the LNCaP Vector panel appears to overlap with the DU145 miR-30d+MYPT1 panel.

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.

Author Wei-De Zhong has stated on behalf of all authors that they agree with this retraction.
