The article “Long noncoding RNA ITGB1 promotes migration and invasion of clear cell renal cell carcinoma by downregulating Mcl-1”, by X.-L. Zheng, Y.-Y. Zhang, W.-G. Lv, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2019; 23 (5): 1996-2002–DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_201903_17238–PMID: 30915742 has been retracted by the author for the following reasons:

After the publication of this article, the authors reviewed the process of the experiment and found there were mistakes in the study setting. Authors state that the cancer tissues of 60 inpatients collected in the article included cancer tissues and adjacent tissues. However, the registration and storage of the experiment were not careful, and the cancer tissues were confused with the adjacent tissues. For this reason, the results of this article are not accurate and complete. After consultation among the authors, in line with the rigorous attitude towards scientific research, authors agreed that it was necessary to withdraw the article and make further research and improvement.

*After publication, the article was also questioned on PubPeer. Concerns were raised about Figures and in particular Figure 3 which shows overlapping images.

This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
