The study investigates how lenalidomide affects human fibroblast-like synovial cells (HFLS) and its therapeutic potential for treating hemophilic arthropathy in a mouse model of hemophilia A.
In laboratory tests, lenalidomide was shown to reduce HFLS cell growth and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, while promoting cell death, especially at lower concentrations.
In animal experiments, lenalidomide administration significantly improved joint health by decreasing inflammation and pathological changes compared to untreated mice, indicating its protective effects against hemophilic arthritis.
