Retractions: Tissue-specific autophagy alterations and increased tumorigenesis in mice deficient in Atg4C/autophagin-3 (Journal of Biological Chemistry (2007) 282 (18573–18583) DOI: 10.1074/jbc.W118.007329)

Abstract

This article has been withdrawn by the authors upon request from the Journal. The Journal raised questions regarding Fig.1C. In Fig. 1C, actin lanes appeared to be duplicated, and the original data for this panel were not available. The authors state that a new experiment was performed using RNA from mouse tissues in WT and Atg4C-deficient animals. The authors assert that all of the results reported in this article are valid, some of which are supported by a subsequent report by another group (Li et al. (2011) J. Biol. Chem. 286, 7327).
