Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/srep35422, published online 14 October 2016
The Editors have retracted this Article.
Concerns were raised that some of the data in this Article, in particular those in Figures 2B, 5B and 5C, have been published previously [1, 2]. Additionally, the hUASMCs/calponin image in Figure 2B appears to correspond to a different sample than the same image in [1]. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions presented.
Renpeng Zhou, Lei Zhu, Danru Wang and Chen Wang agreed with the retraction and its wording. Shibo Fu and Yunliang Qian did not respond to the correspondence from the Editors about this retraction.
