The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article after the authors alerted the journal to issues in a number of the figures. Specifically, the affected figures are:

  • Fig. 2d: Migration image of shC12orf59#1 on MKN-45 cells (upper middle); Migration and Invasion images of shC12orf59 on AGS cells (right)

  • Fig. 2e: Invasion images of vector and C12orf59 on HGC-27 cells (lower)

  • Fig. 4e: Invasion image of shControl on MKN-45 cells (lower left)

  • Fig. 4i: Migration image of shC12orf59#1 on HUVEC cells (middle)

  • Fig. 5h: Invasion image of C12orf59 on MKN-45 cells (lower middle)

  • Fig. S6b: Migration and Invasion images of miR-654-5p and control on MNK-45 and AGS cells

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions presented.
