Abstract
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The corresponding author notified the journal that in vivo and transwell invasion experimental results reported in this study were not reproducible. As the results were unreliable the authors requested its retraction. The journal was also alerted to several suspected image similarities within Figures 3B and 6D, that appear to be present in other publications, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/9F5D26FDF83E716B615F407B35ED8B#. The journal requested the authors provide explanations and source data relating to these affected figures. Authors were not able to satisfy this request. The Editor-in-Chief assessed this case and decided to retract the article.
