RETRACTED ARTICLE: KIAA1429 promotes osteosarcoma progression by promoting stem cell properties and is regulated by miR-143-3p

We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Cell Cycle, have retracted the following article:

Qicai Han, Jie Yang, Hao Yang, Chao Li, Juan Li & Yuan Cao (2020) KIAA1429 promotes osteosarcoma progression by promoting stem cell properties and is regulated by miR-143-3p, Cell Cycle, 19:10, 1172-1185, DOI: 10.1080/15384101.2020.1749465

Since publication, concerns have been raised about similarity of the data in another published article:

Yang J, Han Q, Li C, Yang H, Chen X, Wang X. Circular RNA circ_0001105 Inhibits Progression and Metastasis of Osteosarcoma by Sponging miR-766 and Activating YTHDF2 Expression. Onco Targets Ther. 2020; 13: 1723-1736 https://doi.org/10.2147/OTT.S234668.

When approached for an explanation, the authors were unable to provide their original data for the Cell Cycle article, and therefore have agreed to retract the article.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
