Abstract
EXPRESSION OF CONCERN: Q. Zheng, Y. Yang, X. Cui, D. Zhang, S. Liu, and Q. Yan, “AP1 Mediates uPA/uPAR Induced FUT4 Expression and Trophoblast Invasion,” Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 119, no. 8 (2018): 6442-6451, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.26648.
This Expression of Concern is for the above article, published online on 26 December 2017 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been issued by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals, LLC.
The Expression of Concern has been agreed due to concerns raised by third parties regarding the data presented in the article. Specifically, overlaps have been detected in the invasion assay images between the “uPAR+c-Fos siRNA” and “uPAR+TIIA” groups in Figure 5C. Further investigation by the publisher revealed additional overlaps in the migration assay images between the “uPAR+SP600125” and “uPAR+TIIA” groups in the same figure. The authors explained that these overlaps occurred due to errors during the figure assembly and provided revised images to correct the mistakes. However, the replacement images provided by the authors failed to reproduce the results of the originally published images. Consequently, the journal has decided to issue this Expression of Concern to inform and alert readers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cellular Biochemistry publishes descriptions of original research in which complex cellular, pathogenic, clinical, or animal model systems are studied by biochemical, molecular, genetic, epigenetic or quantitative ultrastructural approaches. Submission of papers reporting genomic, proteomic, bioinformatics and systems biology approaches to identify and characterize parameters of biological control in a cellular context are encouraged. The areas covered include, but are not restricted to, conditions, agents, regulatory networks, or differentiation states that influence structure, cell cycle & growth control, structure-function relationships.
