This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Concerns were raised about suspected duplicated features between the 'DN' and 'DN+anti-miR-NC' groups within Figure 2I, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/FB14889727E5CF2651E012EEA10225#1. A journal investigation confirmed the presence of these suspected duplicated features. The journal asked the authors to provide an explanation to these concerns and the associated raw data. All authors were contacted on several occasions, but the journal did not receive a response. The Editor-in-Chief assessed the case and decided to retract the article.
