Withdrawal: Antioncogenic and oncogenic properties of Nrf2 in arsenic-induced carcinogenesis. [Withdrawals/Retractions]

This article has been withdrawn by the authors. The corresponding author identified some issues and brought them to the attention of the Journal. The following issues were discovered in the article. The GAPDH immunoblot in Fig. 5A was reused in Figs. 1H, 2F, 2I, 3B, 3G, and 5B. The ESR spectrum from BEAS-2B cells in Fig. 2A was previously published in Son et al. ((2014) J. Biol. Chem. 289, 28660–28675) without attribution. The BEAS-2B image in Fig. 2C was reused in Fig. 6A as control siRNA. The GAPDH immunoblot from Fig. 3A was previously published in Fig. 4A of Son et al. ((2014) J. Biol. Chem. 289, 28660–28675), representing different experimental conditions. The GAPDH immunoblot from Fig. 3D was reused in Fig. 3I. A portion of the same immunoblot was reused in Fig. 4A as actin. Lanes 9–12 of the β-actin gel in Fig. 4B was reused in lanes 9–10 of the Bcl-xL ARE F1 gel in Fig. 4E. Fig. 5B contained several undeclared splices. In Fig. 5C, the control images for BEAS-2B and AsT cells were reused.
