After this article [1] was published, concerns were raised about Figs 2-4 and 6, and the underlying data provided in the Supporting Information. Specifically,
First author AN acknowledged the panel overlaps observed in Figs 3 and 4 and provided replacement data and underlying microscopy image files, along with a quantitative analysis file for the western blot quantification data. Editorial assessment of the underlying and replacement data identified additional concerns about the reliability of the image data.
In light of the above concerns, which question the reliability and integrity of reported results and conclusions, the PLOS One Editors retract this article.
AN and MAK did not agree with the retraction. XZ and HCC either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
