Impairing the division of cancer cells with genotoxic small molecules has been a primary goal to develop chemotherapeutic agents. However, DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient cancer cells, are resistant to most conventional chemotherapeutic agents. Here we have identified baicalein as a small molecule that selectively kills MutS?-deficient cancer cells. Baicalein binds preferentially to mismatched DNA and induces a DNA damage response in a mismatch repair-dependent manner. In MutS?-proficient cells, baicalein binds to MutS? to dissociate CHK2 from MutS? leading to S phase arrest and cell survival. In contrast, continued replication in the presence of baicalein in MutS?-deficient cells results in a high number of DNA double-strand breaks and ultimately leads to apoptosis. Consistently, baicalein specifically shrinks MutS?-deficient xenograft tumors and inhibits the growth of AOM-DSS-induced colon tumors in colon-specific MSH2 knockout mice. Collectively, baicalein offers the potential of an improved treatment option for patients with tumors with a DNA MMR deficiency.
