The Editors in Chief have retracted this article. After publication concerns were raised regarding the expression ranges of LINC01089 in the tumour group in Fig. 1C and in Fig. 3B, an evaluation of the raw data found inconsistencies between the provided data and the data in the graphs. Concerns were also raised regarding irregularities within Fig. 5E, however the authors were unable to provide the full original raw western blot data. The Editors in Chief, therefore, no longer have confidence in the reliability of the results presented in this article. None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.
