Retraction: Cyclo(His-Pro) up-regulates heme oxygenase 1 via activation of Nrf2-ARE signalling

Abstract

The above article, published online on 16th October 2009 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) and corrected in 2014 with a Corrigendum (JNeurochem 128(6): 975, URL: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-4159.2011.07368.x) correcting Figure 3 of the original publication, has been retracted by agreement between the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Andrew Lawrence, the International Society for Neurochemistry and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed due to concerns raised regarding possible image manipulation of Figure 5b. Corresponding author Alba Minelli as well as all other authors have been contacted to clarify their respective contribution to the article, and provide the original scanned films upon request for the editorial team's review. Corresponding author Alba Minelli confirmed the following author contributions in the corrected version (J Neurochem. 2014 Mar;128(6):975) as the final version of the published manuscript which all authors had read and approved: A. Minelli (contact): substantial contribution to conception and design, drafting the article, data interpretation, C .Conte: real-time PCR and gene silencing experiments, data acquisition and analysis, S. Grottelli: data acquisition and analysis, I. Bellezza: drafting the article, data acquisition and analysis, C. Emiliani: revising the article critically for important intellectual content, J. Bolaños: revising the article critically for important intellectual content. Since the original data could not be retrieved to dispel the new concerns regarding Figure 5 of the original publication, the journal no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions drawn.
