This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the corresponding author and the Editor-in-chief The corresponding author claims that the authors confused multiple pictures in different groups, resulting in overlapping figures among different groups. Fig. 7B has partial overlap with Fig. 7D of a paper authored by a different research group (Y. Gao, et al., LINC00311 promotes cancer stem-like properties by targeting miR-330-5p/TLR4 pathway in human papillary thyroid cancer, Cancer Med. 9 (2019) 1515-1528, https://doi.org/10.1002/cam4.2815). The author claimed that they had sent the pathological sections to a shared platform and that the platform mistakenly sent back pathological results from other institutions which were then used in the manuscript. The Editor-in-Chief has lost the trust in the data and the conclusion, and decided to retract the paper.
