MicroRNA-217 acts as a tumor suppressor and correlates with the chemoresistance of cervical carcinoma to cisplatin

MicroRNA-217 (miR-217) has been demonstrated to participate in the tumorigenesis and progression of various types of cancers. Nevertheless, the role of miR-217 in cervical carcinoma still remains not fully elucidated. This current work sought to investigate the role of miR-217 in the growth, migration, and invasion of cervical carcinoma and detect the role of miR-217 in the chemosensitivity of cervical carcinoma cell to cisplatin
