Dapsone is a sulfone used in treating inflammatory skin conditions. Despite its widespread dermatological use, the pharmacological actions of dapsone remain poorly understood. Here, we examined how different aspects of neutrophil functions are affected by dapsone.

The nociceptin receptor (NOP) and nociceptin are involved in the pathways of pain and inflammation. The potent role of nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) in the modulation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β on the nociceptin system in human THP-1 cells under inflammatory conditions were investigated. Cells were stimulated without/with phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA), TNF-α, IL-1β, or PMA combined with individual cytokines.

However, its role in these conditions remains poorly defined. Here we show that K16 negatively regulates type-I interferon (IFN) signaling and innate immune responses.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) arises from dysregulated wound healing, leading to excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and impaired lung function. Macrophages exhibit high plasticity, polarizing to pro-inflammatory M1 during early inflammation and anti-inflammatory, fibrosis-inducing M2 during later stages of PF. Additionally, neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release mediated by peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD-4), also play a key role in PF progression.

Background: Tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an essential role in reprogramming the tumor microenvironment. Metabolic reprogramming is an essential prerequisite for M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). This M2 phenotype is closely related to the immune dysfunction of CD8 T cells and subsequent tumor progression.
