Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) on the viability and apoptosis of the human cervical cancer HeLa cell line in vitro, and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms of this. HeLa cells were treated with varying concentrations of AITC for different durations. The cell viability was then measured using a Cell Counting kit‑8 assay and the apoptosis rate of the cells was detected using flow cytometry. Additionally, the B cell lymphoma‑2 (Bcl‑2) and Bcl‑2‑associated X protein (Bax) mRNA expression levels were determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction, while the Bax and Bcl‑2 protein expression levels in cells were detected by western blot analysis. AITC was revealed to inhibit the viability of HeLa cells. AITC was revealed to induce the apoptosis of HeLa cells, as the apoptosis rate increased gradually with an increase in the dose. As the concentration of AITC increased, the Bax mRNA expression level increased, whilst the Bcl‑2 mRNA expression level decreased. Furthermore, the Bax protein expression intensity increased whilst Bcl‑2 protein expression intensity decreased, thereby resulting in a decrease in the ratio of Bcl‑2/Bax proteins. AITC may inhibit cell viability by inducing the apoptosis of HeLa cells and this may be accounted for by the imbalance in the Bcl‑2/Bax expression ratio.
