At the request of Dr. S. E. Dryer, Molecular Pharmacology has retracted this article. A research misconduct investigation at the University of Houston initiated by Dr. Dryer found author misconduct in two other articles by the same authors [Abkhezr M and Dryer SE (2015) STAT3 Regulates Steady-State Expression of Synaptopodin in Cultured Mouse Podocytes Mol Pharmacol February 2015 87:231–239; doi:10.1124/mol.114.094508 and Abkhezr M, Kim EY, Roshanravan H, Nikolos F, Thomas C, Hagmann H, Benzing T, Dryer SE (2015) Pleiotropic signaling evoked by tumor necrosis factor in podocytes Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 309:F98–F108; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00146.2015]. Because of the results of the investigation, Dr. Dryer has expressed concern over the validity of the work published in the above Molecular Pharmacology article and requested its retraction.
