Abstract
Retraction of ‘Exosome-derived PTENP1 suppresses cisplatin resistance of bladder cancer (BC) by suppressing cell proliferation, migration and inducing apoptosis via the miR-103a/PDCD4 axis’ by Xingre Lu et al., 2019, 9, 37642–37651, DOI: 10.1039/C9RA07823A.
Highlights
The images in the article, and raw data provided by the authors, were screened by an image integrity expert
The raw data provided by the authors was found to closely resemble raw data for a number of other articles, which is unexpected given that there are completely different authors lists for these articles
The paper was analysed by experts who fact-checked the identities of the described nucleotide sequence reagents,1 and found errors with the following nucleotide sequence reagents reported in the article: miR-103a reverse primer, GAPDH forward primer, and U6 forward and reverse primers
Summary
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data. The images in the article, and raw data provided by the authors, were screened by an image integrity expert.
