The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Following publication, the journal was alerted to potential mage integrity concerns, including:
- what appears to be a frameshift in Fig. 3c WT migration and invasion.
- an apparent overlap in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 MHCC97H 72kD, kindlin-2.
- an apparent overlap in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 LM3/LV-sh 72kD, kindlin-2.
- apparent overlap Fig. 7b 0h LV-K2 + sictrl and LV-K2 + ICG-001.
- what appears to be a frameshiFig. Fig. 7 LV-K2 + siβ-catenin and LV-K2 + ICG-001.
Therefore, the Editor has lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article.
Authors Aimin Huang and Jie Lin have stated on behalf of all authors that they disagree with the retraction.
