Retracted] Fe3O4‑solamargine induces apoptosis and inhibits metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells.

Following the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that certain of the Transwell invasion assay data shown in Fig. 5B on p. 911 were strikingly similar to data that had appeared in a previously published paper written by different authors at a different research institute. In view of the fact that certain of the data in the above article had already appeared in a previously published paper, the Editor of International Journal of Oncology has decided that this paper should be retracted from the publication. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [International Journal of Oncology 54: 905‑915, 2019; DOI: 10.3892/ijo.2018.4637].

Retracted] MicroRNA‑584 prohibits hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and invasion by directly targeting BDNF.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the Transwell invasion assay data shown in Fig. 2C and D on p. 1997 were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes that had either already been published, or were submitted for publication at around the same time (and in some cases, have subsequently been retracted). Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published prior to its submission to Molecular Medicine Reports, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

Retraction: Suicidal thoughts and behaviors among gender and sexual minorities: Adults ages 25-44 show highest rates of past month suicidal thoughts. Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior.

Manges, M. E., Bryan, C. J., Bryan, AB. O., Bauder, C. R., Wastler, H. M. (2023). Suicidal thoughts and behaviors among gender and sexual minorities: Adults ages 25-44 show highest rates of past month suicidal thoughts. Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior. https://doi.org/10.1111/sltb.13029. The above article, published online on 15 December 2023 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor in Chief, Thomas Joiner, PhD, and Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of the American Association of Suicidology. The retraction has been agreed due to errors in the interpretation of the chi-square analysis comparing sexual and gender minorities. Following discovery of the error in interpretation, the authors informed the editorial office and have revised the article with the intent of sharing the corrected results. The correction needed to amend the version of record requires significant alterations to the published article, which requires the journal to issue a retraction. An updated version of this article has been submitted for peer review at Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior."

Retracted] Tripartite motif 16 suppresses breast cancer stem cell properties through regulation of Gli‑1 degradation via the ubiquitin‑proteasome pathway.

Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that the data obtained from sphere‑forming assay experiments shown in Figs. 4C‑F and 8B and C, and western blotting data in Figs. 4A and 8A, were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles by different authors from different research institutes that had already been published, one of which has been retracted. Moreover, a pair of data panels comparing between Fig. 4E and 8C were partly overlapping, such that these data appear to have been derived from the same original source. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published elsewhere prior to its submission to Oncology Reports, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [Oncology Reports 35: 1204‑1212, 2016; DOI: 10.3892/or.2015.4437].

Retracted] MicroRNA‑539 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of bladder cancer cells by regulating IGF‑1R.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell invasion assay data shown in Fig. 2C on p. 4921 were strikingly similar to data that had already been submitted for publication in different form in another article written by different authors at a different research institute. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published prior to its submission to Molecular Medicine Reports, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [Molecular Medicine Reports 17: 4917‑4924, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2018.8497].

Retracted] MicroRNA‑219 is downregulated in non‑small cell lung cancer and inhibits cell growth and metastasis by targeting HMGA2.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell migration and invasion assay data shown in Figs. 2C and 4C were strikingly similar to data that had already been published in different form in another article written by different authors at a different research institute [Yang S, Zhang Y, Zhao X, Wang J and Shang J: microRNA‑361 targets Wilms' tumor 1 to inhibit the growth, migration and invasion of non‑small‑cell lung cancer cells. Mol Med Rep 14: 5415‑5421, 2016]. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published prior to its submission to Molecular Medicine Reports, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

Retracted] LncRNA TUG1 serves an important role in hypoxia‑induced myocardial cell injury by regulating the miR‑145‑5p‑Binp3 axis.

Following the publication of this article, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that, for several of the figures showing the results of Transwell migration and invasion assay experiments, unexpected areas of similarity were identified in terms of cellular patterns comparing among data panels where the results from differently performed experiments were intended to have been shown, although the areas immediately surrounding these areas often featured comparatively different distributions of cells. Moreover, several of the figures contained invasion/migration assay data that were strikingly similar to data that had appeared in articles published previously by different authors at different research institutes. In addition, the western blots in this article were presented with atypical, unusually shaped and possibly anomalous protein bands in many cases. After having conducted an internal investigation, the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports has reached the conclusion that the potentially anomalous data in this paper were unlikely to have arisen by coincidence. Therefore, on the grounds of a lack of confidence in the integrity of these data, and given the fact that some of the data were strikingly similar to that which had been published previously in other articles and journals, the Editor has decided that the article should be retracted from the publication. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused, and thanks the concerned reader for drawing this matter to our attention. [Molecular Medicine Reports 42: 2422‑2430, 2018; DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2017.8116].

Retracted] MicroRNA‑329‑3p targets MAPK1 to suppress cell proliferation, migration and invasion in cervical cancer.

Following the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that certain of the Transwell cell migration and invasion assay data featured in Figs. 5C and 6C were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes that had already been published elsewhere prior to the submission of this paper to Oncology Reports, or were submitted for consideration for publication at around the same time. In view of the fact that certain of these data had already apparently been published prior to the submission of this article for publication, the Editor of Oncology Reports has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.
