Abstract
At the request of the authors and the Editor-in-Chief, the following article has been retracted.
Yi Wan, Xifeng Fei, Zhimin Wang, Dongyi Jiang, Hanchun Chen, Mian Wang and Shijun Zhou. MiR-423-5p knockdown enhances the sensitivity of glioma stem cells to apigenin through the mitochondrial pathway. Tumor Biology 2017;39(4):1-10. doi: 10.1177/1010428317695526
Upon repetition of the experiment, the authors discovered that the analysis of the primary glioblastoma cell cDNA identified not only human GAPDH and β-actin genes, but also mouse GAPDH and β-actin genes. The authors have found that the primary glioblastoma cells were contaminated by mouse cells and therefore definitive conclusions cannot be drawn.
