Lenalidomide inhibited lymphoma progression. (A) Lenalidomide (1 μM) downregulated JAM-A and NODAL expression more significantly in JAM-A-transfected DB cells as compared to vector-transfected cells. (B,C) Lenalidomide (1 μM) inhibited JAM-A-transfected cell invasion (B) and EMT (C). (D) In murine xenograft model established with subcutaneous injection of DB cells, tumor size was similar between vector-transfected (Vector) and JAM-A-transfected (JAM-A) group. Lenalidomide (25 mg/kg/day, JAM-A + lenalidomide) retarded tumor growth. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 comparing with the JAM-A group. (E) By micro-PET-CT, JAM-A overexpression contributed to tumor metastasis, all involving endoderm- and mesoderm-associated organs, which was inhibited by lenalidomide. (F) Lenalidomide downregulated JAM-A and NODAL expression. Data in (B) and (C) are representative of three independent experiments.
