COA Handling Instructions

Lenalidomide (CC-5013), a derivative of Thalidomide, acts as molecular glue. Lenalidomide is an orally active immunomodulator. Lenalidomide (CC-5013) is a ligand of ubiquitin E3 ligase cereblon (CRBN), and it causes selective ubiquitination and degradation of two lymphoid transcription factors, IKZF1 and IKZF3, by the CRBN-CRL4 ubiquitin ligase. Lenalidomide (CC-5013) specifically inhibits growth of mature B-cell lymphomas, including multiple myeloma, and induces IL-2 release from T cells.

    In Vitro

    Lenalidomide is potent in stimulating T cell proliferation and IFN-γ and IL-2 production. Lenalidomide has been shown to inhibit production of pro inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-12 and elevate the production of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 from human PBMCs. Lenalidomide downregulates the production of IL-6 directly and also by inhibiting multiple myeloma (MM) cells and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) interaction, which augments the apoptosis of myeloma cells[2]. Dose-dependent interaction with the CRBN-DDB1 complex is observed with Thalidomide, Lenalidomide and Pomalidomide, with IC50 values of ~30 μM, ~3 μM and ~3 μM, respectively, These reduced CRBN expression cells (U266-CRBN60 and U266-CRBN75) are less responsive than the parental cells to antiproliferative effects Lenalidomide across a dose-response range of 0.01 to 10 μM[3]. Lenalidomide, a thalidomide analog, functions as a molecular glue between the human E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon and CKIα is shown to induce the ubiquitination and degradation of this kinase, thus presumably killing leukemic cells by p53 activation[5].

    In Vivo

    The toxicity of Lenalidomide doses up to 15, 22.5, and 45 mg/kg via IV, IP, and PO routes of administration. Limited by solubility in our PBS dosing vehicle, these maximum achievable Lenalidomide doses are well tolerated with the exception of one mouse death (of four total dosed) at the 15 mg/kg IV dose. Notably, no other toxicities are observed in the study at IV doses of 15 mg/kg (n=3) or 10 mg/kg (n=45) or at any other dose level through IV, IP, and PO routes[4].

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.64 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.64 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Cell Assay
    [3]

    Cell lines NCI-H929 and U266, and DF15 cells are grown in RPMI-I640 medium containing 10% (V/V) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum supplemented with 2 mM glutamine. To produce Lenalidomide resistant cell lines, NCI-H929 cells are treated continuously (fresh Lenalidomide is added every 3-4 days) with control (final 0.1% DMSO) or low-dose Lenalidomide (1 μM) for 2 months until the proliferation of cells is no longer inhibited by Lenalidomide (1 μM), as determined by cell viability (Vi-cell XR cell viability analyzer), cell proliferation by flow cytometry and cell cycle analysis (propidium iodide staining). After acquisition of resistance to 1 μM, the resistant H929 cell lines are treated with Lenalidomide (10 μM) for a further 4 months. After this period of time, the cell cultures achieved fully establish resistance up to high-dose Lenalidomide (30 μM). Prior to the experiments described here, H929 Lenalidomide-resistant cells are taken out of culture with compounds for 5-7 days before use[3].

    Animal Administration
    [4]

    Mice[4]
    Imprinting control region (ICR) mice 8-10 weeks of age are used. Lenalidomide is incompletely soluble at 3.5 mg/mL and above in PBS containing 1% HCl, as visible particulates remained after thorough mixing. Therefore 3 mg/mL is selected as the maximum dosing solution concentration (with no visible particulates). Single, individual mice are initially dosed with 3, 10, or 15 mg/kg IV; 4.5, 15, or 22.5 mg/kg IP; and 9, 30, or 45 mg/kg PO. Additional mice (n=4) are then evaluated at the maximum dose achievable by volume and solubility of Lenalidomide in the dosing solution. All mice are monitored closely for 1 h and re-evaluated for toxicities 3, 6, and 24 h postdose[4].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
