RETRACTED ARTICLE: Long non-coding RNA LINC00265 promotes proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis by sponging miR-101-3p

We, the Editors and Publisher of Autoimmunity, have retracted the following article: Zou, H., Lu, C., & Qiu, J. (2021). Long non-coding RNA LINC00265 promotes proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis by sponging miR-101-3p. Autoimmunity, 54(8), 526-538. https://doi.org/10.1080/08916934.2021.1978432 Since publication, concerns were identified by the publisher regarding image integrity of Western Blots and the RT-qPCR methodology described in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not respond to our queries. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author has been informed. We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as 'Retracted'.
