DNA targeting anticancer agents have been very successful in clinic, especially, when used in combinatorial therapy. But unfortunately, they often exhibit high levels of toxicity towards normal cells. Hence, much effort has been put into finding agents with more selectivity, and less toxicity. Pectins are natural polysaccharides, and beneficial nutritional fibers that have attracted attentions due to their antitumor properties. However, their molecular targets, and mechanism of action are widely unknown. Here, we have reported that citrus pectin (CP) and apple pectin (AP) selectively suppress viability in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and T47D human Breast cancer cells, while non-toxic to L929 normal cells. Upon CP, and AP treatments, cancer cells’ ROS content increased rapidly, and led to the collapse of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential which functions upstream of the caspase-dependent apoptosis. CP and AP treated cancer cells were also arrested at the S and G1 or G2/M phases of the cell cycle, respectively. Furthermore, mRNA expression of Galectin-3 (a multi-functional lectin involved in cell adhesion, cell cycle, and apoptosis) reduced in both CP and AP treated cells. Growth inhibition of MDA-MB-231 cells by CP, and AP was concomitant with DNA damage (oxidation, and strand breaks). In this context, in an effort to clarify the mechanism of action, we showed that CP, and AP are able to interact with DNA. The strength and mode of DNA binding were established by spectroscopy techniques. We demonstrated that CP, and AP bind to dsDNA by intercalation, and groove binding/partial intercalation, respectively. In conclusion, our findings suggest that CP, and AP induce apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells by increasing the release of ROS, which may be related to the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, and direct interactions with DNA. Our data indicate that these compounds may be potentially useful in cancer treatment.
