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

Qi Ren, Hu Li and Xiaowen Wang. The circular RNA ZNF292 alleviates OGD-induced injury in H9c2 cells via targeting BNIP3. Cell Cycle. 2019;18(23):3365-3377. doi: 10.1080/15384101.2019.1676585

Since publication, the authors have raised significant concerns about the reliability of the data presented in the article. As the Editor and Publisher also have concerns about the integrity of the reported results, all parties have agreed to retract the article to ensure correction of the scholarly record.

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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
