The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article at the authors' request. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the published images. Specifically:
-
Fig. 4C appears to contain image overlap between different treatment groups and cell lines.
-
Fig. 4F appears to contain overlapping areas with two articles on unrelated circRNAs that were under consideration within a similar time frame [1, 2].
-
Figs. 6G and 7G appear to contain image overlap between different treatment groups and cell lines.
The authors have stated that the microscopy images in Fig. 4F were provided by a third party.
Due to the number of concerns with the images, the Editor-in-Chief and the authors no longer have confidence in the presented data.
All authors agree to this retraction.
