Although immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) were originally developed as anti-inflammatory drugs, they are effective for multiple myeloma. In order to gain further insights into the immunomodulatory mechanisms of IMiDs for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and myeloma, we investigated the influence of a representative IMiD, lenalidomide, on human primary dendritic cell (DC) subsets: myeloid-derived CD1c(+) DCs, CD141(+) DCs, and plasmacytoid DCs. Lenalidomide did not affect the viability or expression of costimulatory molecules, but it potently suppressed the production of the key inflammatory cytokines IL-12 and IL-23, and enhanced the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 by CD1c(+) DCs. Lenalidomide also suppressed the production of IFN-alpha by CD141(+) DCs but not that by plasmacytoid DCs. Lenalidomide likely targets pathways downstream of the nuclear translocation of the transcription factors nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) and IFN regulatory 5 (IRF5) in CD1c(+) DCs. Consistent with the direct immunomodulatory effects on DCs, lenalidomide decreased the capacity of CD1c(+) DCs to induce differentiation of naive CD4(+) T cells into effector cells producing immune activating and myeloma-promoting cytokines. This study demonstrated that lenalidomide has anti-inflammatory effects via the modulation of cytokine production by human myeloid-derived DCs. Such effects on DCs may allow for beneficial immunomodulation aiding in the treatment of inflammatory disorders and multiple myeloma.
