RETRACTION: Overexpression of 5-lipoxygenase and Its Relation With Cell Proliferation and Angiogenesis in 7,12-Dimethylbenz(α)anthracene-Induced Rat Mammary Carcinogenesis.

Retraction: M. Chatterjee, S. Das, K. Roy, and M. Chatterjee, "Overexpression of 5-lipoxygenase and Its Relation With Cell Proliferation and Angiogenesis in 7,12-Dimethylbenz(α)anthracene-Induced Rat Mammary Carcinogenesis," Molecular Carcinogenesis 52, no. 5 (2013): 359-369. https://doi.org/10.1002/mc.21858. The above article, published online on 28 December 2011 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by Wiley Periodicals LLC. A third party reported that portions of the image in Figure 2B had been duplicated and manipulated from another article by some of the same authors [Chatterjee et al. 2011 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2011.06.039)]. Additionally, the third party reported that the beta-actin band in Figure 3A had been duplicated from an alpha-tubulin band presented in Chatterjee et al. 2011. Further investigation by the publisher found that Figure 5B had been duplicated from another article by different authors [von Euler et al. 2004 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioelechem.2003.10.008)] and also found evidence of additional image manipulation in Figures 3A and 3C. The authors responded to an inquiry by the publisher. However, the authors were unable to provide original, unmodified data or images for the experiments reported in the article and were unable to provide a sufficient explanation for the findings of the investigation. The retraction has been agreed to because evidence of image duplication and manipulation fundamentally compromises the reported conclusions. The authors disagree with the retraction.
