Abstract

Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that, regarding the Transwell assay data shown in Fig. 2C and 4D, two pairs of overlapping sections of data were identified comparing the panels in these figures, where the results from differently performed experiments were intended to have been portrayed. The authors were contacted by the Editorial Office to offer an explanation for this apparent duplication of data within the two figures; however, up to this time, no response from them has been forthcoming. Owing to the fact that the Editorial Office has been made aware of potential issues surrounding the scientific integrity of this paper, we are issuing an Expression of Concern to notify readers of this potential problem while the Editorial Office continues to investigate this matter further.

在上述论文发表后，一位关心的读者提请编辑注意，关于图2C和4D所示的Transwell化验数据，通过比较这些图中的面板确定了两对重叠的数据部分，其中不同进行的实验的结果被描绘出来。编辑部联系了作者，要求他们对这两幅图中明显的重复数据作出解释；然而，到目前为止，他们还没有任何回应。由于编辑部已经意识到围绕本文科学完整性的潜在问题，在编辑部继续进一步调查此事的同时，我们发出一份关注表达，通知读者这一潜在问题。[肿瘤报告]25:1581‑1587,2011；DOI: 10.3892 / or.2011.1251]。
