Methods Human cervical carcinoma cell lines SiHa, Hela (HPV positive), and C-33-A (HPV negative) were cultured, and treated with 20, 40, and 80 μg/mL of EPV for 24 h. Control group were treated with equal volume of DMSO. The survival rate of cells was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. Flow cytometry Annexin V/PI double staining method was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle. SiHa and HeLa cells were incubated with 40 μg/mL EPV for 24 h, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression of apoptosis related protein caspase 3, caspase 9, Bcl-2, and Bax. Results EPV reduced the viability of SiHa and HeLa cells dose-dependently (P<0.05, 0.01 and 0.001). Moreover, EPV induced apoptosis in SiHa and HeLa cells (P<0.05 and 0.01), inhibited the proliferation of SiHa and HeLa cells through arresting their cycle in G0/G1 phase. However, EPV did not show significantly effect on C-33-A cells. Western blotting results showed that Cle caspase 3, Cle caspase 9, Bax, and Bcl-2 proteins were involved in EPV induced cell apoptosis (P<0.05, 0.01, and 0.001). Conclusion EPV could induce apoptosis in HPV-positive cervical cancer cells, which provides novel information for clinical application of P. vulgaris and its preparations for the HPV-positive cervical cancer patients."/>
