This article has been retracted: Multiple instances of image duplication were discovered in this paper. Specifically, there are overlapping images within Figure 7B representing IHC staining of two different conditions. Additionally, the Trim65 blots in Figure 1E are duplicates of those in Figure 1C of an earlier published paper [1], and part of the GAPDH blots, also in Figure 1E, overlaps with those in Figure 5B from a second earlier published paper that has since been retracted [2]. Therefore, with the agreement of all authors, the Scientific Integrity office at Oncotarget has decided to retract this paper.
