Abstract Ethanolic extract of Nelumbo nucifera petals showed preferential cytotoxic activity against HeLa human cervical cancer cell line with a PC50 value of 10.4 μg/mL. This active extract was subjected to a phytochemical investigation study which led to the isolation of nine benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (1–9). The isolated compounds exhibited potent antiausterity activities. Moreover, under nutrient-deprived conditions, (−)-lirinidine (8) induced remarkable alterations in HeLa cell morphology including cell shrinkage and plasma blebbing leading to total cell death within 10 h. Mechanistically, 8 was found to inhibit Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. It also induced apoptosis by promoting caspase-3 activation and inhibiting Bcl-2 expression. Therefore, benzylisoquinoline alkaloids skeleton can be considered as a promising scaffold for the anticancer drug development against cervical cancer.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are associated with various cancers, but the relation between nAChRs and cervical cancer remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the differential expression of nAChR subunits in human cervical cancer cell lines (SiHa, HeLa, and CaSki) and in normal ectocervical cell lines (Ect1/E6E7) at mRNA and protein levels. Two specific nAChR subtype blockers, αO-conotoxin GeXIVA and α-conotoxin TxID, were then selected to treat different human cervical cancer cell lines with specific nAChR subtype overexpression. The results showed that α3, α9, α10, and β4 nAChR subunits were overexpressed in SiHa cells compared with that in normal cells. α9 and α10 nAChR subunits were overexpressed in CaSki cells. α*-conotoxins that targeted either α9α10 or α3β4 nAChR were able to significantly inhibit cervical cancer cell proliferation. These findings may provide a basis for new targets for cervical cancer targeted therapy.
