Abstract
At the request of SAGE Publishing and the Executive Editor, the following article has been retracted.
Sun S, Wang H, Ji M. Overexpression of miR-222-3p Promotes the Proliferation and Inhibits the Apoptosis of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Cells via Suppressing PPP2R2A. Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment. 2019;18. doi:10.1177/1533033819892256
SAGE became aware that the peer review process for this article may have been compromised. Upon further investigation and assessment of the article, we noticed that several bands of Western blots appear to be duplicated:
In Figure 4E the miR-222-3p mimics+pcDNA3. 1-NC lane of the GAPDH U2932 panel, is highly similar to Figure 5C mimics NC+pcDNA3. 1-PPP2R2A lane in the GAPDH U2932 panel
In Figure 4E the mimics NC+pcDNA3. 1-PPP2R2A lane of the GAPDH U2932 panel, is highly similar to Figure 5Cmimics NC +pcDNA3. 1-PPP2R2A lane in the GAPDH U2932 panel
In Figure 4E the miR-222-3p mimics+pcDNA3. 1-PPP2R2A lane of the GAPDH U2932 panel, is highly similar to Figure 5C miR-222-3p mimics+pcDNA3.1 lane in the GAPDH U2932 panel
The authors were contacted for an explanation and did not respond.
Due to concerns around the integrity of the peer review process, and the outstanding questions about multiple figures in the article that remain unresolved, this article has been retracted.
The authors did not respond for comment.
