The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding similarities between the figures presented in this article and the authors’ other publications that were either published earlier, or submitted and published within a similar time frame, specifically:

• Figure 1e appears highly similar to Fig. 1a of [1].

• Figure 5 GAPDH appears highly similar to b-actin in [2].

• Figure 7b appears highly similar to Fig. 1b in [3] and Fig. 2b in [4].

• Figure 7c appears highly similar to Fig. 1f in [5].

Additionally, Fig. 6 is stated to represent PCR results, but the authors are assessing the levels of activated (cleaved) proteins; and all error bars appear to be the same within figures or within groups.

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.

None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction.
