Discussion
RIPK1 activates NF-κB and regulates TNF release to enhance the proliferation and spread of CC cells while suppressing their apoptosis. Therefore, RIPK1 plays a key role in the formation and progression of CC and is a potential target for CC treatment.
Material and methods
To determine whether RIPK1 can be used for targeted therapy of CC, we assessed the clinical importance, biological function, and potential impact of RIPK1 in CC in 50 patients with CC. We utilized immunohistochemical staining, transfection, western blotting, cell counting kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, and wound healing assays among others, to elucidate the role of RIPK1 in CC.

Results
RIPK1 expression was higher in tumor tissues than in paracancerous tissues. Poor prognosis of CC was linked to RIPK1 upregulation. Furthermore, silencing RIPK1 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CC cells in vitro. We also established that RIPK1 increased cell migration, invasion, and multiplication by regulating nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
