DNA flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) plays critical roles in maintaining genome stability and integrity by participating in both DNA replication and repair. Suppression of FEN1 in cells leads to the retardation of DNA replication and accumulation of unrepaired DNA intermediates, resulting in DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and apoptosis. Therefore, targeting FEN1 could serve as a potent strategy for cancer therapy. In this study, we demonstrated that FEN1 is overexpressed in breast cancers and is essential for rapid proliferation of cancer cells. We showed that manipulating FEN1 levels in cells alters the response of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. Furthermore, we identified a small molecular compound, SC13 that specifically inhibits FEN1 activity, thereby interfering with DNA replication and repair in vitro and in cells. SC13 suppresses cancer cell proliferation and induces chromosome instability and cytotoxicity in cells. Importantly, SC13 sensitizes cancer cells to DNA damage-inducing therapeutic modalities and impedes cancer progression in a mouse model. These findings could establish a paradigm for the treatment of breast cancer and other cancers as well. FEN1 is overexpressed in cancer cells and essential for cancer cell growth; Down regulation of FEN1 leads to retarded cell growth and sensitizes cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents; SC13, a FEN1 specific inhibitor, inhibits cancer growth in vitro and in xenograft tumor mice. Most anticancer agents used in clinic today kill cells by interfering DNA replication or inducing DNA damage, which in turn lead to cell apoptosis. However, cancer cells have evolved a compilation of highly effective DNA replication and repair systems to meet up the requirement of rapidly dividing of cancer cells and protect DNA against both endogenous and exogenous DNA damage. FEN1 has been shown to be an important factor in both DNA replication and repair pathways, making FEN1 a logical target for developing anticancer drugs as stand-alone agents for treating cancers that rely on its activity and as a therapy in combination with chemotherapeutic agents that cause DNA damage.
