BioMed Research International has retracted the article titled “MicroRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma: carcinogenesis, progression, and therapeutic target” [1] due to extensive text overlap with the following sources [2–4], which were not cited in the article: (i)Callegari, E., Elamin, B. K., Sabbioni, S., Gramantieri, L., & Negrini, M., “Role of microRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma: a clinical perspective.” OncoTargets and therapy, 2013, 6, 1167-78. https://doi.org/10.2147/OTT.S36161. [2](ii)Le, XF., Merchant, O., Bast, R.C. et al., “The Roles of MicroRNAs in the Cancer Invasion-Metastasis Cascade”, Cancer Microenvironment, 2010, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12307-010-0037-4. [3](iii)Jie Sun, Haiqi Lu, Xian Wang, and Hongchuan Jin, “MicroRNAs in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Regulation, Function, and Clinical Implications,” The Scientific World Journal, vol. 2013, 924206, 2013, https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/924206. [4]
The authors did not provide a satisfactory response and the article is therefore being retracted due to this overlap, with the agreement of the Editorial Board. The authors do not agree to the retraction.
