Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that certain of the Transwell cell invasion and migration assay data shown in Figs. 2C and 5D were strikingly similar to data in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes, which had either already been published or had been submitted for publication at around the same time (some of which have now been retracted). Owing to the fact that certain of the data in the above article had already been published prior to its submission to Oncology Reports, the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

[撤回] MicroRNA-140 通过直接靶向 ADAM9 抑制神经胶质瘤生长和转移。

本文发表后，一位关心的读者引起了编辑的注意，图1和图2所示的Transwell细胞侵袭和迁移实验的某些数据。2C和5D与不同研究机构不同作者撰写的其他文章中不同形式的数据惊人地相似，这些文章要么已经发表，要么大约在同一时间提交发表（其中一些现已撤回）。由于上述文章中的某些数据在提交给Oncology Reports之前已经发表，编辑决定从该杂志上撤回该论文。作者被要求对这些担忧做出解释，但编辑部没有收到答复。编辑对给读者带来的任何不便表示歉意。[肿瘤学报告 36：2329-2338，2016 年；DOI：10.3892/或.2016.5007]。
