KRIBB11, a novel and potent inhibitor of Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), abolishes the heat shock-induced luciferase activity with an IC50 of 1.2 μM. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is the master switch for heat shock protein (HSP) expression in eukaryotes and has an important role in many cancers. Biochemical inhibitors of Hsp90 are in advanced clinical development for the treatment of solid and hematological malignancies. As an inhibitor of the transcription factor Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), KRIBB11 can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, arrests the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induces apoptosis. But it does not inhibit heat shock-induced recruitment of HSF1 to the hsp70 promoter or phosphorylation of HSF1 Ser-230. KRIBB11 inhibits heat shock-induced recruitment of pTEFb to the hsp70 promoter and p-TEFb-dependent Phosphorylation of polⅡ CTD Ser-2. Immunoblotting assays showed that the expression of HSP70 was lower in KRIBB11-treated tumor tissue than in control tissues. Because HSPs are expressed at high levels in a wide range of tumors, these results strengthen the rationale for targeting HSF1 in cancer therapy.

| ln Vitro |
KRIBB11 prevents downstream target proteins of HSF1, including HSP27 and HSP70, from being induced. In HCT-116 cells, KRIBB11 causes apoptosis and growth arrest. KRIBB11 prevents p-TEFb (positive transcription elongation factor b) from being recruited to the hsp70 promoter in an HSF1-dependent manner [1]. After KRIBB11 treatment, PARP and caspase-3 cleavage increased in the cells. KRIBB11 incubation on RKO results in an IC50 of 20–30 μM and a toxicity threshold of about 10 μM [2].
KRIBB11 (0.1-5 μM) dose-dependently inhibited HSP70 protein synthesis in HeLa, A549, and MCF-7 cells, with 80% inhibition at 2 μM in HeLa cells as detected by Western blot [1] - KRIBB11 (1 μM) impaired the recruitment of positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) to the hsp70 promoter in heat-shocked HeLa cells, reducing P-TEFb binding by 65% as measured by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay [1] - KRIBB11 (0.5-4 μM) suppressed HSF1 transcriptional activity in HeLa cells transfected with hsp70-luciferase reporter plasmid, with 50% inhibition of luciferase activity at 1.2 μM [1] - KRIBB11 (2 μM) reversed Hsp90 inhibitor resistance in HCT116 cells overexpressing HSF1, enhancing the anti-proliferative effect of geldanamycin (IC50 of geldanamycin decreased from 80 nM to 25 nM) [2] - KRIBB11 (1-4 μM) reduced p62/SQSTM1 protein expression and LC3-II/LC3-I ratio in HSF1-overexpressing HCT116 cells, inhibiting autophagic flux by 48% at 2 μM as detected by Western blot and autophagy flux assay [2] |
| ln Vivo |
In nude mice without weight loss, KRIBB11 (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection) inhibited 47.4% of tumor growth [1].
Nude mice (BALB/c-nu) bearing HCT116 cell xenografts overexpressing HSF1 were administered KRIBB11 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 14 days) in combination with geldanamycin (2 mg/kg, ip). The combination group showed a 62% reduction in tumor volume, compared to 28% reduction with geldanamycin alone and 15% reduction with KRIBB11 alone [2] - KRIBB11 (10 mg/kg, ip) treatment in xenograft mice reduced HSP70 and p62/SQSTM1 protein expression in tumor tissues by 55% and 42% respectively, as measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blot [2] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Luciferase reporter assay: HeLa cells were transfected with hsp70-luciferase reporter plasmid and β-actin-renilla plasmid. After 24 hours, cells were pretreated with KRIBB11 (0.1-5 μM) for 1 hour, then heat-shocked at 43°C for 1 hour. Luciferase activity was measured using a dual-luciferase assay system to assess HSF1 transcriptional activity [1]
- Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay: Heat-shocked HeLa cells treated with KRIBB11 (1 μM) were cross-linked with formaldehyde, and chromatin was sheared into fragments. Anti-CDK9 antibody (targeting P-TEFb) was used for immunoprecipitation; DNA fragments bound to P-TEFb were amplified by PCR using primers specific to the hsp70 promoter region to quantify recruitment efficiency [1] |
| Cell Assay |
HeLa cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum and treated with KRIBB11 (0.1-5 μM) for 24 hours, with or without heat shock (43°C for 1 hour). Western blot was performed to detect HSP70, HSF1, and β-actin (loading control) protein levels [1]
- HCT116 cells overexpressing HSF1 were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium and treated with KRIBB11 (1-4 μM) alone or in combination with geldanamycin (25-100 nM) for 72 hours. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay; Western blot detected p62/SQSTM1, LC3-I/LC3-II, and HSP70 expression [2] - Autophagy flux assay: HSF1-overexpressing HCT116 cells were transfected with mRFP-GFP-LC3 plasmid, then treated with KRIBB11 (2 μM) for 24 hours. Fluorescence images were captured by confocal microscopy, and the number of red-only (autolysosomes) and yellow (autophagosomes) puncta was counted to evaluate autophagic flux [2] - RT-PCR: Total RNA was extracted from KRIBB11-treated HeLa cells, and cDNA was synthesized. PCR amplification was performed using primers for hsp70 and GAPDH (internal control) to quantify hsp70 mRNA levels [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
10% dimethylacetamide, 50% PEG300, and 40% distilled water;50 mg/kg/day;i.p.
Pathogen-free Balb/c nude mice BALB/c-nu nude mice (5-6 weeks old) were subcutaneously injected with HSF1-overexpressing HCT116 cells (2×10⁶ cells/mouse) to establish xenograft tumors. When tumors reached 100-120 mm³, mice were randomly divided into four groups: control (vehicle), KRIBB11 alone (10 mg/kg), geldanamycin alone (2 mg/kg), and combination group. KRIBB11 was dissolved in DMSO and diluted with normal saline (final DMSO concentration ≤5%), administered via intraperitoneal injection once daily for 14 days. Geldanamycin was administered intraperitoneally every other day for 14 days. Tumor volume was measured every 3 days; mice were euthanized on day 15, and tumor tissues were collected for protein expression analysis [2] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
KRIBB11 (≤5 μM) did not induce significant apoptosis in HeLa or HCT116 cells, and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining showed an apoptosis rate of <12% [1][2]. In nude mice treated with KRIBB11 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, for 14 consecutive days), no significant changes in body weight, food intake, or serum ALT, AST, and creatinine levels were observed compared to the control group [2]. Histopathological examination of the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and spleen of KRIBB11-treated mice revealed no significant pathological damage [2].
