This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief of Molecular Therapy – Nucleic Acids. Concerns regarding data integrity were raised by the National Science Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which were based on a PubPeer thread showing similarities among western blots in this article and several other articles by unrelated authors (https://pubpeer.com/publications/037CC4BEC12B5D29C7D3F69A66FB7E). Per journal policy, the editors, at their discretion, may request deposition of any or all original data files for examination by the reviewers and/or editors. As a result of the authors’ refusal to provide these data—in violation of journal policy—and the allegations of fraud, the editors feel that findings of the manuscript cannot be relied upon.
