Retraction Note: Long non-coding RNA AGAP2-AS1, functioning as a competitive endogenous RNA, upregulates ANXA11 expression by sponging miR-16-5p and promotes proliferation and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding high similarity between the sh-Control Invasion image in Fig. 10C and the si-Control Invasion image in Fig. 5E in the authors' other article ([1], now retracted) published within a similar time frame. Further investigation by the Published has identified that the sh-Control Invasion image in Fig. 10C also appears to overlap with the HCCLM2-miR-16-5p EV image in Fig. S4B.
Additionally, the article appears highly similar to another article from an unrelated group ([2], now retracted).
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction notice.
