This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors and Editor-in-Chief. The authors notified the journal and requested retraction of the article, stating: “We recently found that miR-361 did not affect the tumor growth in vivo. All the authors want to retract this paper. Furthermore, we apologize to the readership of the Journal for any inconvenience caused”. The journal was also alerted to an associated PubPeer post, in which images of xenograft tumors within Figure 6B, and images of colony formation assays within Figure 2C, appear to have been published in other articles, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/0DA940799BE0D567BAC4659CDAB13F#. The journal requested the corresponding author provide a more detailed explanation to these concerns and associated raw data, but this request was not satisfactorily fulfilled. The Editor-in-Chief assessed the case and decided to retract the article.
