Nisin, an antimicrobial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis, is widely used as a safe food preservative and has been recently attracting the attention of many researchers as a potential anticancer agent. The cytotoxicity of nisin against HeLa, OVCAR-3, SK-OV-3, and HUVEC cells was evaluated using MTT assay. The apoptotic effect of nisin was identified by Annexin-V/propidium iodide assay, and then it was further confirmed by western blotting analysis, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) analysis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay. The MTT assay showed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of nisin towards cancer cell lines, with the IC50 values of 11.5-23 µM, but less toxicity against normal endothelial cells. Furthermore, treatment of cervical cancer cells with 12 µM nisin significantly (P<0.05) increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio (4.9-fold), reduced ΔΨm (70%), and elevated ROS levels (1.7-fold). These findings indicated that nisin might have anticancer and apoptogenic activities through mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress damage in cervical cancer cells.
