MICA and Miyoshi myopathy: In order to better investigate the role of BRD4 in BETi-mediated upregulation of MICA and the possibility to target its function using a protein degradation strategy, we treated MM cells with ARV-825, a novel PROTAC consisting of a classic BRD4 binding moiety (triazolodiazepine acetamide class in the BETi OTX015) and the compound pomalidomide, a third-generation immunomodulatory drug able to bind to the E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon [42] connected by a flexible polyethylene glycol linker (Additional file 8).
