The Editor in Chief has retracted this article after concerns were raised about potential image overlap in Figs. 1 and 6. Therefore, the Editor has lost confidence in the data presented here. None of the authors has responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.

  • Partial image overlap between Fig. 1A specifically the upper image for shCtrl with Fig. 1J specifically the upper image for LGR5+.

  • Image overlap between Fig. 1H specifically cells at position 2 in 3rd lane for shCBX8-2 with Fig. 2G specifically cells at position 1 in 5th lane for vec + CPT-11.

  • Image overlap between Fig. 6F specifically the last lane of WB for ß-actin with Fig. 5A of [1].

  • Image overlap between Fig. 1I specifically the last lane for shCBX8-2 with Fig. 4H of [2].

  • Image overlap between Fig. 1I specifically the last lane for shCBX8-2 with Fig. 8A of [3].

  • Image overlap between Fig. 1I specifically the last lane for shCBX8-2 with Fig. 8A of [4].
