FUNDC1 and infection: To make sure that the levels of FUNDC1 modulate the viability and apoptosis of CC cells, we replenished the levels of FUNDC1 in FUNDC1‐silenced HeLa and Caski cells by infection with recombinant lentivirus encoding a FUNDC1 construct resistant to used short‐hairpin RNA (shRNA#1) as described in Materials and Methods (Fig. 2A).
