Abstract

Mansoori, B., A. Mohammadi, S. Naghizadeh, et al. 2020. "MiR-330 Suppresses EMT and Induces Apoptosis by Downregulating HMGA2 in Human Colorectal Cancer," Journal of Cellular Physiology 235, no. 2: 920-931. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.29007. The above article, published online on June 26, 2019 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Robert Heath; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation by the publisher in response to concerns raised by third parties. Several flaws and inconsistencies have been identified between the described methodology and the presented results. Furthermore, the study's rationale and conclusions drawn are not supported by either the existing literature or the data extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Accordingly, the article is retracted as the editors consider its conclusions to be invalid. The authors have been informed of the decision of retraction but not available for a final confirmation.
