Two pairs of panels overlap, despite different labels. The later appropriation of two panels by Cui et al is of course not the fault of the present authors.

This is also an opportunity to alert the present authors to the subsequent acquisition of their images in "miR-654-5p Targets HAX-1 to Regulate the Malignancy Behaviors of Colorectal Cancer Cells" (Huang et al 2020).

#1 I greatly appreciate your valuable feedback and have drawn our attention to the errors in our article. Unfortunately, during the image capture process, we encountered an error in grouping and naming Transwell images, and overlooked the verification process. When selecting representative images from countless image data, incorrect images are placed in the original manuscript. But this does not affect the legend, results, and conclusion of the article. We have now redone and renamed all Transwell experiments, carefully checked the images to prevent misuse, and resubmitted all Transwell experimental results to the journal. But we are not aware of the use of our data results in other papers, and we would like to thank you for your reminder.

Retracted 25 February 2025.

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding highly similar images in the figures, specifically:

• Fig. 4g SMMC7721 pre-NC image appears to overlap with Fig. 6d SMMC7721 sh-MIR31HG+anti-miR-575;
• Fig. 4h SMMC7721 pre-NC image appears to overlap with Fig. 6e SMMC7721 pcDNA3.1-MIR31HG+pre-miR-575.

The authors checked their data and found that in Fig. 2c, SMMC7721 pcDNA3.1-MIR31HG and sh-MIR31HG 0h images were the same, and Fig. 2c HepG2 pcDNA3.1-MIR31HG 36h and Fig. 4f HepG2 anti-NC 0h images originated from the same sample. Further checks by the Publisher have also identified a potential error in Fig. 6e, where HepG2 sh-MIR31HG+anti-miR-575 and pcDNA3.1+pre-NC images appear to originate from the same sample.

The authors requested a Correction and provided the original image files and cell line authentication documents. However, the STR profiling results of the cell lines used in the in vitro and in vivo experiments this study revealed that the SMMC7721 and L-02 cell lines were contaminated with HeLa cervical cancer cells, making them an unsuitable model for liver cancer. This partially undermines the main conclusions of the article, which are specific to hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data and conclusions of this artilcle.

Shaoying Yan and Hua Tang disagree with this retraction. None of the other authors have responded to any correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
