Retraction: Silencing of the long non-coding RNA MEG3 suppresses the apoptosis of aortic endothelial cells in mice with chronic intermittent hypoxia via downregulation of HIF-1α by competitively binding to microRNA-135a
Retraction to: J Thorac Dis 2020;12:1903-16
In the article “Silencing of the long non-coding RNA MEG3 suppresses the apoptosis of aortic endothelial cells in mice with chronic intermittent hypoxia via downregulation of HIF-1α by competitively binding to microRNA-135a”, J Thorac Dis 2020;12(5):1903-1916 (1), there is an error of image utilization of Figure 5F which compromises the reliability of its conclusions.
All authors agree with the retraction of the article.
