This article has been retracted: “Aging” has completed its investigation of this paper. Following communication with the authors we found that two corresponding authors, Dr. Qingping Wu and Dr. Burton Yang, were not involved in the preparation, revision, and proofreading of this paper. The first author, Dr. Chen Diling, confirmed he listed them as corresponding authors without their permission. Additionally, Dr. Diling noted unintentional duplication of two sets of Western blot bands (Erk1/2 and Beclin-1) in Figure 4, and two p53 IHC images in Supplementary Figure 6. These unresolved concerns bring into question the validity of the reported results and the article's adherence to “Aging”'s authorship policy. Therefore, the Aging Editors have decided to retract this article. All authors were informed of this decision and agreed with it.
