Following the publication of this article [1] concerns were raised about the results presented in Figs 1 and 5. Specifically,
The authors did not respond to the journal’s queries pertaining to these concerns. In the absence of the original data underlying the study, these concerns cannot be resolved.
In light of the above concerns, which call into question the reliability of the published results, the PLOS One Editors retract this article.
SN responded but expressed neither agreement nor disagreement with the editorial decision. WC, XM, PZ, YG, YF, HP, HG, DS, LG, YZ, and XZ either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
