The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:

  • Fig. 2B: the si-2# invasion panel appears to partially overlap with si-BCAR4 + miR-644a inhibitor invasion panel in Fig. 4E

  • Fig. 4E: the control panels for migration and invasion appear to overlap

  • Fig. 4E: the si-BCAR4 panels for migration and invasion appear to overlap

  • Fig. 4F: the control panels for migration and invasion appear to overlap

  • Fig. 5C: the mimic nc and inhibitor nc panels appear to overlap

  • Fig. 5C: the mimic nc and miR-644a inhibitor panels appear to overlap

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions of this article.

Zhongxin Lu has stated on behalf of all authors that they agree to this retraction.
