Retracted: microRNA-130a Promotes Human Keratinocyte Viability and Migration and Inhibits Apoptosis Through Direct Regulation of STK40-Mediated NF-κB Pathway and Indirect Regulation of SOX9-Meditated JNK/MAPK Pathway: A Potential Role in Psoriasis
officially retracts the article entitled, “microRNA-130a Promotes Human Keratinocyte Viability and Migration and Inhibits Apoptosis Through Direct Regulation of STK40-Mediated NF-κB Pathway and Indirect Regulation of SOX9-Meditated JNK/MAPK Pathway: A Potential Role in Psoriasis,” by Ying Xiong, Hongxiao Chen, Liqian Liu, Leihong Lu, Zongshan Wang, Fujun Tian, and Yongliang Zhao (DNA Cell Biol 2017;36(3):219–226; doi: 10.1089/dna.2016.3517).
A serious concern was brought to the attention of Dr. Carol Reiss, the Editor-in-Chief of DNA and Cell Biology, regarding the supporting data underlying the study. Dr. Reiss contacted the authors to request that all original uncropped scans of membranes used for Western blot analysis be supplied for further assessment, however the authors did not respond within the 2-week timeframe supplied. Dr. Reiss contacted the authors again, indicating that their failure to reply was indicative of their acknowledgement of misconduct.
DNA and Cell Biology
and its editorial leadership treat these reports of possible scientific misconduct very seriously and therefore officially retracts this article from the scientific literature.
