RETRACTION: miR‐709 Up‐Regulated in Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Promotes Proliferation and Invasion by Targeting GPC5
TL;DR
This retracted paper claimed that miR-709 promotes liver cancer growth by targeting GPC5, but duplicated figures led to loss of confidence in the results.
Contribution
The paper originally reported miR-709's role in hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting GPC5, but was retracted due to duplicated figures.
Findings
miR-709 was found to be up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma.
The study claimed miR-709 promotes cancer cell proliferation and invasion by targeting GPC5.
The paper was retracted due to duplicated figures and unreliable results.
