RETRACTED: Over-expression of long non-coding RNA ZEB2-AS1 may predict poor prognosis and promote the migration,invasion,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells in non-small cell lung cancer

At the request of the Journal Editor and Sage, the following article has been retracted:

Xu H, Yu B, Shen W, Jin C, Wang L, Xi Y. Over-expression of long non-coding RNA ZEB2-AS1 may predict poor prognosis and promote the migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells in non-small cell lung cancer. Int J Biol Markers 2020; 35(3): 29–35. doi:https://doi.org/10.1177/1724600820938385

The authors of the article contacted Sage with a request to correct the article due to an undisclosed conflict of interest. The authors did not respond to journal queries for further details and an Expression of concern was issued.

The authors subsequently contacted the journal with a request to issue replacement images for Figure 4B. The authors were unable to provide the raw data and informed the journal that they had repeated the experiments to provide replacement images, which raised concerns about the veracity of the findings.

Due to unresolved concerns about reliability of the research, the Journal Editor and Sage retracts this article.

The authors did not respond to the decision to retract within the designated timeframe.
