MiR-218-1-3p induced by TCS influences the proliferation, invasion and inflammatory response of trophoblast cells in vitro. A RT-qPCR tested miR-218-1-3p expression after TCS treatment. B RT-qPCR examined the efficiency of miR-218-1-3p mimics. C-D CCK-8 and transwell assays evaluated cell proliferation and invasion. E-I RT-qPCR and western blot analyzed the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and CXCL-8 in cells with or without miR-218-1-3p overexpression. The samples in the last group of western blot experiment were indicated positive controls for corresponding antibodies. ^**P < 0.01
