This article has been retracted: Two instances of internal image duplication were discovered in this paper. Specifically, the β-actin blots in Figure 4A are duplicates of the β-actin blots in Figure 3A. The PDIA6 panel of Figure 5A is also a duplicate of the PDIA6 panel in Figure 2G. The authors were unable to make corrections using the original data. Therefore, in accordance with the decision of the Science and Technology Department of Dalian Medical University, and with the agreement of all authors, Oncotarget has decided to retract this paper.
