Abstract
At the request of SAGE Publishing and the Journal Editors, the following article has been retracted:
Cai Y, Li Y, Shi C, Zhang Z, Xu J, Sun B. LncRNA OTUD6B-AS1 inhibits many cellular processes in colorectal cancer by sponging miR-21-5p and regulating PNRC2. Human & Experimental Toxicology. 2021;40(9):1463-1473. doi: 10.1177/0960327121997976
The editors were contacted by the authors, requesting that Figures 1G, 1H, 4D, and 4E be replaced with new images. The authors explained that due to an error while arranging the data from Transwell assays, some of the images were incorrect and provided replacement images for publication.
Due to the nature of the error, the Journal Editors and SAGE requested that the authors provide unedited images and raw data underlying the original figures for verification. The authors did not comply with our request for the original data and unedited figures of the published article. Due to unresolved concerns about the integrity of the original images and the overall integrity of the research, the article has been retracted.
The authors disagreed with the retraction.
