Abstract
Li C, Mu J, Shi Y, Xin H. LncRNA CCDC26 Interacts with CELF2 Protein to Enhance Myeloid Leukemia Cell Proliferation and Invasion via the circRNA_ANKIB1/miR-195-5p/PRR11 Axis. Cell Transplantation. 2021;30. doi:10.1177/0963689720986080
SAGE Publishing was alerted to a discussion surrounding this article on PubPeer. Readers were concerned regarding several images and results that appeared manipulated:
In Figures 1 and 4, The K562 cells/ siCCD26 (10 nM) panel in Figure 1D appears to overlap with the K562 cells / CELF2 (0.5 ug/ml) panel in Figure 4C.
In Figures 5 and 9, The K562 cells / Control panel in Figure 5C appears to overlap with the miR-195-5p inhibitor + MK2206 panel in Figure 9C.
The graphs in Figure 2B and Figure 5B appear duplicated.
When we contacted the authors, they were unable to explain these concerns, and requested we retract the article.
Due to the unexplained anomalies in the figures and data in this research, that call into question the overall integrity of the research, the article has been retracted.
