Abstract
Retraction of ‘LncRNA MALAT1 aggravates MPP-induced neuronal injury by regulating miR-212 in SH-SY5Y cells’ by Dahua Yuan et al., RSC Adv., 2019, 9, 690–698, DOI: 10.1039/C8RA09260E.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data. The paper was analysed by experts who fact-checked the identities of the described nucleotide sequence reagents,1 and found errors with the following nucleotide sequence reagents reported in the article: miR-212 forward and reverse primers. The miR-212 primers would not be expected to target and amplify miR-212, and therefore the results in Fig. 4 are unreliable.
Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data, the findings presented in this paper are not reliable.
The authors state that there was a partial lack of rigour in the study and agree to retract the article in order not to mislead readers.
