TL;DR: A microRNA analysis of human melanoma found that miR-30b/30d upregulation correlates with stage, metastatic potential, shorter time to recurrence, and reduced overall survival, and these data support a key role of miR/30D and GalNAc transferases in metastasis, by simultaneously promoting cellular invasion and immunosuppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendritic cell entrapment within the pregnant uterus inhibits immune surveillance of the maternal/fetal interface in mice
TL;DR: It is found that tissue reaction prevents DCs stationed at the maternal/fetal interface from migrating to the lymphatic vessels of the uterus and thus reaching the draining lymph nodes, and DC entrapment within the decidua minimizes immunogenic T cell exposure to fetal/placental antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cis-Acting Pathways Selectively Enforce the Non-Immunogenicity of Shed Placental Antigen for Maternal CD8 T Cells
TL;DR: A transgenic system in which placental membranes are tagged with a strong surrogate antigen (ovalbumin) is addressed, outlining a major pathway governing the maternal immune response to the placenta and suggesting how tolerance to placental antigens can be maintained systemically without being detrimental to host defense.
