This article [1] has been retracted by the authors. The corresponding author has stated that part of the research, including western blot and qPCR experiments, had been outsourced to a third party company that has gone out of business, and the authors have been unable to reproduce the results themselves. Therefore the authors no longer have confidence in the validity of the data and the conclusions drawn. In addition, contrary to the statement in the article, the animal experiments have not been approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. All authors agree with this retraction.
