Editorial Expression of Concern: Interleukin-4 enhances prostate-specific antigen expression by activation of the androgen receptor and Akt pathway

摘要

Editorial Expression of Concern to: Oncogene https://doi.org/ 10.1038/sj.onc.1206735The Editors-in-Chief are issuing an Expression of Concern for this article [1] due to concerns about the images. The specific concerns are as follows: For Fig. 6C, the far-right lane in the “Nuclear AR” panel is remarkably similar to the left-most lane in the “Total AR” panel. Despite representing different cell lines, lanes 2-5 in the R1881/PSA panel of Fig. 1B look similar to lanes 1-4 in the PSA panel of Fig. 4A of DeMiguel et al. [2]. Additionally, lanes 1-4 in GAPDH panel of Fig. 1B appear to overlap with lanes 1-4 in the GAPDH panel of Fig. 4A of DeMiguel et al. [2] and lanes 1-4 in the GAPDH panel of Fig. 2A of Lee et al. [3].
