The fibronectin EDA splicing variant induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lung cancer cells through integrin α9β1-mediated activation of PI3-K and Erk. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol (May 14, 2010); doi:10.1152/ajplung.00039.2010.The authors retract this article for the following reasons: The Western blot presented in Fig. 4A includes duplicate bands not generated in the same gel for α-SMA related to control and cFN stimulation; these bands were spliced and overlaid onto the gel. The microscopic image designated PD98059 in Fig. 4B was digitally manipulated and included in Supplementary Fig. 3 as a control. The Akt blot shown in Fig. 4D was also used in the E-cadherin blot shown in Supplementary Fig. 2. The Western blot presented in Fig. 6C contains bands for α9 integrin, α-SMA, and E-cadherin generated in another experiment, spliced and overlaid onto this figure.While all authors assumed responsibility for the accuracy of all data upon manuscript submission, XJ Sun and SW Han have subsequently assumed responsibility for these errors. All authors agree to the retraction of this article and apologize to the Editorial Board and readership of AJP-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology.Supplemental datasuppfig12.pdf (179.31 kb)This article has no references to display.
