Retraction Note: TGF-β2 initiates autophagy via Smad and non-Smad pathway to promote glioma cells’ invasion

Abstract

Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically; * Figure 1a: the panels for LC3B/WHO III and ATG5/WHO IV appear to be identical * Figure 5b: the lanes for Smad and TFG-B2 appear to be identical * Figure 7e: the panels for TGF-B2/LY2157299 and ATG7/LY2157299+CQ appear to be identical * Figure 7e: the panels for ATG5/LY2157299+CQ and MMP9/LY2157299+CQ appear to be identical * Figure 7e: the panels for ATG7/LY2157299 and MMP2/LY2157299+CQ appear to be identical * Figure 7e: the panels for TGF-B2/Con and MMP2/LY2157299 appear to be identical In addition, the authors have stated they found some additional errors in Figs 5c, 5d and 5j.
