To validate the role of miR‐142‐5p‐mediated down‐regulation of SDHC and SDHD for Th17‐induced migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells, we transfected cervical cancer cells with inhibitor of miR‐142‐5p or an inhibitor control, stimulated the cells with rhIL‐17, CM of Th17 cells or medium and analyzed their proliferation and migration (Fig. 5D–F). This evidence concerns the gene SDHD and cervical carcinoma.
