Y. Shi, M. Liu, Y. Huang, J. Zhang, and L. Yin, "Promotion of Cell Autophagy and Apoptosis in Cervical Cancer by Inhibition of Long Noncoding RNA LINC00511 via Transcription Factor RXRA-regulated PLD1," Journal of Cellular Physiology 235, no. 10 (2020): 6592-6604. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.29529. The above article, published online on 17 February 2020 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Robert Heath; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. A third party reported that images shared overlapping sections in Figure 5D in this article, and this duplication was confirmed by the publisher. The third party also reported that the tumor measurement ruler used in Figure 5 A is identical to the ruler used in the figures of previously published articles from different authors, each of which describes a different scientific context (Chen, et al. 2019 [https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.28911]) and (Feng, et al. 2019 [https://doi.org/10.1186/s13287-022-02841-z]). The use of the identical ruler in the figures of different articles from unrelated research groups at different institutions puts in doubt the veracity of the data reported. The authors did not respond to an inquiry by the publisher. The retraction has been agreed on because the evidence of image duplication within this article, as well as unexplained duplication of image elements and equipment with other experiments by different authors, fundamentally compromises the conclusions reported in this article. The authors did not respond to our notice regarding the retraction.
