Placental protein 13 (PP13/galectin-13) undergoes lipid raft-associated subcellular redistribution in the syncytiotrophoblast in preterm preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome

TLDR
PP13 is released from the syncytiotrophoblast in preterm preeclampsia and HELLP, mimicked in BeWo cells by ischemic stress, suggesting PP13 is a placental alarmin.

Galectins: guardians of eutherian pregnancy at the maternal–fetal interface

TL;DR: Based on published evidence, galectins expressed at the maternal- Fetal interface may serve as important proteins involved in maternal-fetal interactions, and the study of these galectin may facilitate the prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pregnancy complications.

Placental protein 13 and decidual zones of necrosis: an immunologic diversion that may be linked to preeclampsia.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that PP13 is secreted into the intervillus space, drains through the decidua basalis veins, and forms perivenous PP13 aggregates which attract and activate maternal immune cells.

Tolerance, danger, and the extended family.

TL;DR: The possibility that the immune system does not care about self and non-self, that its primary driving force is the need to detect and protect against danger, and that it does not do the job alone, but receives positive and negative communications from an extended network of other bodily tissues is discussed.

DAMPs, PAMPs and alarmins: all we need to know about danger

TL;DR: The term “alarmin” is proposed to categorize such endogenous molecules that signal tissue and cell damage, and can be considered subgroups of a larger set, the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

Latest advances in understanding preeclampsia.

TL;DR: Recent work on the causes of preeclampsia is summarized, which reveals a new mode of maternal immune recognition of the fetus, relevant to the condition, and circulating factors derived from the placenta are now better understood.
