The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the western blot and wound healing images presented in the figures. Specifically:

• Figure 2 A E-Cadherin appears highly similar to Fig. 8D Actin in [1].

• Figure 2 A beta-Catenin appears highly similar to Fig. 8C beta-Catenin in [1] (flipped horizontally).

• There appear to be two cases of partial image overlap in Fig. 6.

The authors have provided partial raw data to address these concerns. However, these did not include the corresponding original images for the Fig. 2A blots in question, and did not explain the apparent partial overlap and rotation between different images in Fig. 6.

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.

Ivan Stigliano, Lydia Puricelli, Elisa Bal de Kier Joffé and María Giselle Peters do not agree to this retraction. Jorge Filmus and Mari Cleide Sogayar have not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
