RETRACTION: Long Non Coding RNA SLC26A4-AS1 Exerts Antiangiogenic Effects in Human Glioma by Upregulating NPTX1 Via NFKB1 Transcriptional Factor

Abstract

RETRACTION: H. Li, R. Yan, W. Chen, X. Ding, J. Liu, G. Chen, Q. Zhao, Y. Tang, S. Lv, S. Liu, and Y. Yu, “Long Non Coding RNA SLC26A4-AS1 Exerts Antiangiogenic Effects in Human Glioma by Upregulating NPTX1 Via NFKB1 Transcriptional Factor,” The FEBS Journal 288, no. 1 (2021): 212–228, https://doi.org/10.1111/febs.15325.

The above article, published online on July 15, 2020, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief; the Federation of European Biochemical Societies; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation into concerns raised by a third party, which revealed inappropriate image duplication between this article (Fig. 1E) and another article previously published elsewhere by a different group of authors in a different scientific context. The authors were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation, and the partial raw data they supplied could not explain the identified issues. Consequently, the editors have lost confidence in the presented data and decided to retract the paper.
