After this article [1] was published, concerns were raised about Figures 1–3.
Specifically:
The authors did not respond to queries about these concerns. In the absence of underlying data, the above issues remain unresolved.
In light of the above concerns, which call into question the integrity and reliability of these data, the PLOS One Editors retract this article.
All authors either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
Owing to the concerns about similarities with previously published content [2], published in 2013 by Elsevier, which is not offered under a CC BY license, the MDA-MB-231/sh panel of Figure 2A is therefore excluded from this article’s [1] license. At the time of retraction, the article [1] was republished to note this exclusion in the Figure 2 legend and the article’s copyright statement. Please refer to [2] for the correct copyright for this panel.
