Withdrawal Notice

This article was originally published in Aging Advance Online Publications on November 4, 2020.

Concerns were raised at that time about overlap between data in Figures 1D, 8A and 8B of this article and Figures in an unrelated retracted article (https://www.dovepress.com/cr_data/article_fulltext/s268000/268222/img/CMAR_A_268222_O_ F0007g.jpg / https://doi.org/10.2147/CMAR.S268222 ). The article was investigated, and the editorial decision was made to withdraw the article entirely in compliance with Aging's withdrawal policy. The institution affiliated with the published Aging article was notified about this action. This article will not appear internally in Aging or any external indexes or archives.

Figure 6. STAT3 transcriptional upregulated miR-483-3p level in U251 cells. (A, B) qRT-PCR analysis showed the expression level of miR-483-3p in U251 cells after overexpression and knockdown of STAT3. Data are mean ± SEM; one-way ANOVA was used for the statistical analysis. n=5 independent cell cultures. (C) Luciferase reporter activities of chimeric vectors carrying the luciferase gene and a fragment of the 3’ UTR of miR-483-3p containing the wild type or mutant STAT3 binding sites. Data are mean ± SEM; Two-tailed t test was used for the statistical analysis. n=5 independent cell cultures. **P<0.05
