Retraction: H19/miR-152-3p/TCF4 axis increases chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells through suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition
Retraction to: Transl Cancer Res 2020;9:3915-25.
We hereby formally request the retraction of our published article entitled “H19/miR-152-3p/TCF4 axis increases chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells through suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition” (1) published in Vol 9, No 6 (June 27, 2020) issue of Translational Cancer Research (TCR).
During a recent re-examination of the manuscript, we identified potential limitations in the rigor of the research data analysis and interpretation. To uphold the highest standards of scientific transparency, academic accountability, and to prevent potential misinterpretations, we conclude that retraction is the most responsible course of action.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the journal, reviewers, and readers. We deeply appreciate the time and effort the editorial team and peer reviewers dedicated to the initial evaluation process.
