摘要: Lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory agent that enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), is currently being investigated as a therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The anti-CD20 antibody rituximab active in CLL and represents rational to combine with lenalidomide. We therefore examined whether lenalidomide combined direct apoptosis ADCC cells. In contrast previous reports using CD20-positive lymphoma cell lines, down-regulated CD20 surface antigen expression patient cells via enhanced internalization, without influencing transcription. internalization delivery of oligonucleotide incorporated into immunoliposomes. addition, down-modulation by was accompanied diminished rituximab-mediated ADCC. These observations suggest need alternative sequencing strategies avoid antagonism between CLL. they might be useful enhance targeted RNAi-based therapies immunoliposomes B-cell malignancies.
