Retraction
On December 13, 2001, the Editors of
Circulation Research retracted
a paper that had been accepted for publication and had been
posted in Online First (Oyama et al. PPAR

Ligand Inhibits Osteopontin
Gene Expression Through Interference With Binding of Nuclear
Factors to A/T-Rich Sequence in THP-1 Cells. December 6, 2001;
10.1161/hh0202.103229). This paper was retracted because we
belatedly discovered that the initial submission had not adhered
to the Instructions to Authors, specifically regarding the stipulations
about prior publication. Despite the fact that the preprint
appeared for several days in Online First, no record of this
manuscript will appear either in Medline or PubMed.
