Bai, "MiR-625-5p/PKM2 Negatively Regulates Melanoma Glycolysis State," Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 120, no. 3 (2019): 2964-2972, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.26917. The above article, published online on 30 November 2018 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The authors requested a retraction of this manuscript stating that different cell lines were wrongly labelled and that the conclusions of this manuscript needed to be re-evaluated. Further investigation by the publisher revealed that the article mentions use of the non-verifiable/unknown normal skin cells HFE. Additional flaws and inconsistencies between results presented and experimental methods described were identified. Furthermore, the experimental methods were found to lack sufficient details or have unavailable supporting data, making the experiments not comprehensible nor reproducible to readers. Accordingly, the editors consider the conclusions of this article to be invalid.
