have requested retraction on the following basis:

The authors regret to find that they confused the human corneal epithelial cell line and the human colon epithelial cell line in the results. Based on the differences between the two cell lines, the conclusions of the paper may not be precise. After careful discussion with their scientific research team, they have decided to apply for the withdrawal of this manuscript, which will be used for publication after selection of cell lines and improvement.
