Retraction of: UBE2T/STAT3 Signaling Promotes the Proliferation and Tumorigenesis in Retinoblastoma
Upon conducting an internal investigation within our laboratory, we found that the Western blots of the xenograft model were outsourced to an external laboratory from samples generated from the model established by us.Since we still retain specimens from this model in our laboratory's sample repository, we performed the Western blot again to compare the siNC and siUBE2T groups.As shown in the following figure, while there is a downward trend in pSTAT3 expression in the siUBE2T group, it did not reach statistical significance.This confirms that the data shown in Figure 5E of the original article were invalid.We thank readers for pointing out these issues promptly to the editor.
