Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Several figures presented in the manuscript appear to have been doctored. The journal has tried to contact the authors of this article but at the time of publication of this notice has not received any response. As there is no explanation for the picture manipulations, the Editor-in-Chief of Gene has lost confidence in the validity of this work and has decided to retract it.

Keywords: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition; Melanoma; UCA1; Wnt/β-catenin; miR-185-5p.
