The authors of the article


Wu J, Liu S, Yuan ZW, Liu JH, Li JM, Chen T, Fang KW, entitled
„MicroRNA-27a Suppresses Detrusor Fibrosis in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats by Targeting PRKAA2 Through the TGF-ß1/Smad3 Signaling Pathway“ [Cell Physiol Biochem 2018;45(4):1333-1349, DOI:10.1159/000487560]


have requested retraction on the following basis:

In this study, they isolated primary bladder detrusor cells from bladder tissue of STZ diabetic rats for functional verification, but we further used human bladder smooth muscle cell line bsmcs to verify this mechanism, and found that the results were still negative after many times of verification, leading to the failure of functional mechanism in human bladder.
In order to avoid misleading other researchers, they have asked to retract their paper.
