Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The use of opioids is the mainstay in the treatment of many types of chronic pain, including cancer and non-cancer-related pain\]. Opioids are known to suppress immune function following both acute and chronic administration; however, they appear to be different according to the schedule of administration as well as the state of the organism. Programmed death-1 (PD-1, also known as CD279) belongs to the CD28 receptor superfamily. It is an inhibitory receptor, and its expression is upregulated on activated leukocytes, resulting in an inhibited immune response. PD-1 interacts with two ligands: programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1, also referred to as B7-H1) and programmed death ligand-2 (PD-L2, also known as B7-DC). PD-L2 is expressed mainly on activated dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages, whereas PD-L1 is distributed widely. In addition to immune cells, some subsets of tumor cells also express PD-L1 to escape from immunosurveillance. It has been reported that the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway could be activated by surgical stress.
