ABSTRACT
Abstract Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease originated from bone marrow dendritic cells, and classified as a tumor by the discovery of a recurrent somatic BRAF-V600E point mutation in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway. The clinical manifestations of LCH are mainly granulomatous lesions composed of clonal pathological tissue cells. According to the lesions and invasive risk organs, it is divided into single system diseases, multi-system diseases with risk-free organ infiltration and multi-system diseases with risk organ infiltration. The diagnosis was based on immunohistochemical pathological dendritic cell-specific markers CD1α+and/or CD207,therefore, according to risk stratification, the regiment and intensity of combination chemotherapy and targeted therapy are drawn up. Prognosis is associates with risk organ infiltration, initial treatment response, and BRAF mutations. Due to the low incidence and lack of systematic knowledge, the clinical understanding of this disease is insufficient, thus the rates of misdiagnosis and therapeutic error are high. In this review, the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic and treatment are summarized. So on to provide a theroretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the diseases.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effects of different concentration of pomalidomide on human multiple myeloma cell line MM1.S and the expression of CRBN.@*METHODS@#CCK-8 method was used for detecting inhibition effect of promalidomide on proliferation of MM1.S cells. Apoptosis rate of MM1.S cells was detected by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine CRBN gene expression level. Western blot was used to detect the effect of pomalidomide on the protein expression of CRBN in MM1.S cells.@*RESULTS@#Pomalidomide has an inhibitory effect on MM1.S cells with time-and dose-dependent manners. Pomalidomide induced apoptosis in MM1.S cells. When the concentration of pomalidomide was 0, 40 and 80 μmol/L, the expression of CRBN gene after the treatment of MM1.S cells for 72 hours was 1.487±0.340, 0.211±0.054 and 0.055±0.005, by using actin as internal refereme. Pomalidomide significantly reduced CRBN protein expression in MM1.S cells.@*CONCLUSION@#Pomalidomide can inhibit the proliferation of MM1.S cells and promote its apoptosis. A certain concentration of pomalidomide can reduce the expression of CRBN gene and down-regulate its protein expression in MM1.S cells.

Lenalidomide, a novel immunomodulatory agent, is a kind of thalidomide derivatives, which shows a good efficacy and safety for hematological system diseases. This review is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in treatment of patients with multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and POEMS syndrome at their replased or refractory state. At the same time, this review focuses on the newest clinical research and the latest application progress of lenalidomide for relapsed or refractory hematological system diseases.

Cereblon（CRBN) is a brain-associated protein with ionic protease activity, which interacts with DNA damage-binding protein-1 (DDB1), Cullin 4 (Cul4A or Cul4B), and regulator of Cullins 1 (RoC1) to form the functional E3 ubiquitin ligase complex(CRBN-CRL4) that performs proteolysis via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. And CRBN is a necessary target protein for the anti-myeloma effect of immunomodulators. The combination of lenalidomide and CRBN recruited a new substrate that binds to the CRBN-CRL4 complex, leading to increased ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation, thus resulting in anti-myeloma activity. The substrates binding to this complex are IKZF1, IKZF3 proteins and GS, etc. The CRBN-dependent degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3 after lenalidomide treatment is also the result of HO-mediated oxidative stress. In addition to ubiquitination, lenalidomide also mediates ubiquitin-independent pathways that prevent CRBN from binding to CD147-MCT1 in a competitive manner to regulate its antitumor activity. Lenalidomide can also play a role in multiple myeloma(MM) cells by modulating miRNA levels and CRBN binding to downstream protein AGO2 expression. Thus, there are many molecular mechanisms of lenalidomide anti-myeloma activity. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of CRBN in lenalidomide against myeloma activity in terms of ubiquitin-dependent and ubiquitin-independent pathways.
