Pomalidomide has been used:to treat BV173 cells to study the role of proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compound, JQ1-CRBN, in inducing specific class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) peptidesfor apoptosis studies and intracellular calcium analysisas a fetal hemoglobin (HbF) agent to study the additive effect with UNC0638 on the levels of fetal hemoglobin expression in β;-thalassemia/ variant hemoglobin E (HbE) erythroid progenitor cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pomalidomide is a second generation immunomodulator, TNF-α inhibitor, and thalidomide analog.
Pomalidomide is an effective fetal hemoglobin (HbF) inducer that downregulates the key γ-globin repressors, SRY-box transcription factor 6 (SOX6), and BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit (BCL11A).
