RETRACTION: Astrocyte Elevated Gene‐1 Promotes Invasion and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Bladder Cancer Cells Through Activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3

Key Points

The retraction indicates that results on astrocyte elevated gene-1's role in bladder cancer invasion are considered unreliable.
Concerns involved duplication within figures, particularly Figures 1c and 1d, undermining the validity of the findings.
The authors cooperated with the investigation but the data provided was insufficient to resolve raised concerns.
The decision to retract was made jointly by the authors, editors, and the journal's publisher due to serious reliability implications.

The above article, published online on 08 November 2017 in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Osamu Ukimura; the Japanese Urological Association; and John Wiley however, the data was insufficient to resolve the concerns raised. Due to the nature of these concerns, the editors consider the results and conclusions to be unreliable.
