Albumin-conjugated drugs attain KRAS mutant cancer targeting through KRAS-enhanced macropinocytosis and intensified lysosomal degradation due to reduced neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) expression. The cytosolic delivery of active payloads relies on endocytosis and subsequent intracellular processing of albumin delivery vehicles, wherein complex regulatory mechanisms and molecular machineries are closely involved. Despite the obvious merit of KRAS targeting, could such an endocytic process involving extra molecular regulators also bring about extra vulnerabilities to albumin-conjugated drugs, particularly, unexpected drug resistance? To assess such risks, here we performed an unbiased drug resistance mechanism comparison in pancreatic cancer, between free triptolide (TP, a potent cytotoxin) and albumin-conjugated TP, using genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screens. GTF2H5, a subunit of GTF2H transcription factor complex, was the only hit identified regardless of forms of TP treatment. With drug efficacy tests on GTF2H5 knockout clones, we further concluded that GTF2H5 deficiency conferred drug resistance primarily due to the pharmacological mechanism of action (MoA) of TP. In addition, molecules previously considered to be able to affect endocytosis and intracellular processing were not enriched during the screening with albumin-conjugated TP. With the aid of genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screens, we conclude that the pharmacological resistance of the active payload, rather than any potential loss-of-function mutations in endocytic molecular machineries, is the solely crucial drug resistance mechanism of albumin-conjugated drugs.

Triptolide, a key ingredient from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant thunder god vine, which has been used to treat inflammation and autoimmune diseases for centuries, has been shown to be an irreversible inhibitor of the XPB subunit of the transcription factor TFIIH and initiation of RNA polymerase II mediated transcription. The clinical development of triptolide over the past two decades has been limited by its toxicity and low water solubility. Herein, we report the development of a glucose conjugate of triptolide, named glutriptolide, which was intended to target tumor cells overexpressing glucose transporters selectively. Glutriptolide did not inhibit XPB activity in vitro but demonstrated significantly higher cytotoxicity against tumor cells over normal cells with greater water solubility than triptolide. Furthermore, it exhibited remarkable tumor control in vivo, which is likely due to sustained stepwise release of active triptolide within cancer cells. These findings indicate that glutriptolide may serve as a promising lead for developing a new mechanistic class of anticancer drugs.
