Abstract
Expression of Concern: TSHZ3 and SOX9 Regulate the Timing of Smooth Muscle Cell Differentiation in the Ureter by Reducing Myocardin Activity.
Highlights
The authors provided the following explanations as to how the original figures were prepared; updated figures are included with this notice, and the original raw Western blot data underlying most of the affected figure panels are included in S1 File
Fig 1B: The original α-HA panel was comprised of input data from a short exposure and IP Flag data from a longer exposure
Fig 1D: In the original blot, the experimental samples were separated by empty lanes
Summary
Following publication of this article [1], several concerns were raised about the Western blots in Figs 1, 5, and 6. The authors confirmed that in preparing these figures they had spliced image fragments to remove empty lanes, rearrange the sample order, and in some cases to combine lanes from short and long exposures of a given blot. The authors provided the following explanations as to how the original figures were prepared; updated figures are included with this notice, and the original raw Western blot data underlying most of the affected figure panels are included in S1 File. An empty lane was removed from the α-Flag Western blot panel. The new figure presents the original image with the empty spacer lanes intact
