Retraction note
The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding similar features between this article and a number of other articles on non-coding RNAs from different research groups published within a similar time frame [1,2,3,4]. Specifically, the ruler in Fig. 7A appears highly similar to that in the tumour images presented in [1,2,3,4]. The shapes and backgrounds on the western blots presented in all figures in this article also appear highly similar to those in the aforementioned articles. Additionally, Fig. 3D NC-inhibitor and miR-375 inhibitor images appear highly similar.
The Editors-in-Chief therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
