MicroRNA-200b Acts as a Tumor Suppressor in Osteosarcoma via Targeting ZEB1 [Retraction]

Abstract

Li Y, Zeng C, Tu M, et al. Onco Targets Ther. 2016;9:3101–3111. The Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised regarding the alleged duplication of images in Figures 3B and 7B which appear to have been duplicated with similar images from other unrelated articles. The authors responded to our queries but were unable to provide an explanation for the alleged image duplication and were unable to verify their original data. Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”. This retraction relates to this paper
