In order to study whether DDX3 affected the production of the proinflammatory cytokines, we detected the production of several inflammatory cytokines using qRT-PCR after the expression of DDX3 in HeLa cells (human cervical cancer cell line) was silenced with small interfering RNA (siRNA) specific targeting DDX3 (siDDX3). This evidence concerns the gene DDX3X and cervical carcinoma.
