[Retracted] miR‑30a‑5p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of melanoma cells by targeting SOX4.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the tumour images shown in Fig. 3B were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in another article written by different authors at different research institutes. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article were already under consideration for publication prior to its submission to , the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal.

miR‑30a‑5p inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of melanoma cells by targeting SOX4.

MicroRNA (miR)‑30a‑5p has been reported to suppress the progression of hepatocellular cancer, renal cell carcinoma, oral cancer and gastric cancer. However, whether miR‑30a‑5p is involved in the regulation of melanoma remains unclear. The present study revealed that miR‑30a‑5p was downregulated in melanoma tissues and cell lines.

miR-150 Suppresses Tumor Growth in Melanoma Through Downregulation of MYB.

miR-150 has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor progression in various human cancers, including colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and thyroid cancer. However, the role of miR-150 in melanoma remains to be determined. In this study, we found that miR-150 was underexpressed in melanoma tissues and cell lines.
