Article Abstract
Scope: Circulating dendritic cell (DC) and monocyte subsets contribute to the pool of intestinal DC and macrophages in celiac disease (CeD), an autoimmune gut disorder triggered by dietary gluten. Here, this study aims to characterize these circulating subsets in CeD and assess the effect of different gliadin-derived peptides on conventional DC (cDC).
Methods And Results: Flow cytometry profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells reveals a slight decrease in the proportion of plasmacytoid and type 1 cDC in gluten-free diet (GFD)-treated CeD patients. In comparison to healthy donors, DC and monocyte subsets from active and GFD-treated CeD patients display an increased gut-homing profile. Type 2 cDC (cDC2) are sorted and stimulated with the gliadin-derived peptides 8-mer, 19-mer, and 33-mer. All peptides induce cDC2 maturation, although the profile is different. While peptide 8-mer induces a Th1/Th17 pro-inflammatory cytokine profile in active CeD patients, cDC2 primed with peptide 33-mer displays a higher capacity to promote gut-homing CCR9 expression onto autologous T-cells.
Conclusion: Distinct gliadin-derived peptides elicit different effects on cDC2 phenotype and function. This effect is compatible with a model where diverse gliadin peptides may cooperate to promote full cDC2 activation and the subsequent T-cell response in genetically predisposed individuals.

Bifidobacteria and Celiac Disease: Mechanisms of Probiotic Action in Reducing Gluten-Induced Cytotoxicity and Inflammation.

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated systemic disorder triggered by gluten peptides present in the diets of genetically susceptible individuals, leading to a range of intestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. Although managed by a gluten-free diet (GFD), symptoms persist in 30%-50% of treated individuals despite apparent dietary compliance. Accordingly, the present review explores how bifidobacteria may mediate cytotoxic and proinflammatory responses induced by gluten-derived peptides, contributing to the modulation of CD symptoms.

Gluten-related disorders, particularly celiac disease, are triggered in susceptible individuals by the toxic effects of gluten, the major storage protein of wheat grains. This toxicity can be reduced by wheat glutenases. Members of the papain-like cysteine protease family, which can act in the human gastrointestinal tract, are promising candidates for the enzymatic treatment of celiac disease.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic enteropathy characterized by a permanent intolerance to gluten. While CD has been associated with heightened T cell responses and the involvement of distinct innate immunity components, the role of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) family in this disease remains unclear. Thus, as TREM-1 has already been implicated in other inflammatory bowel diseases, and given its role in the amplification of inflammation, we hypothesized that it might play a role in the pathophysiology of CD.

Article Synopsis
- Pigmented corn varieties are gaining attention for their health benefits, particularly their polyphenolic content, making them suitable for individuals with celiac disease who require gluten-free diets.
- The study analyzed the phenolic composition of two Italian pigmented corn varieties using HPLC-DAD, noting the presence of phenolic acids and anthocyanins, with minimal changes post-digestion.
- Results showed that extracts from these corns reduced inflammation markers in human intestinal cells and reversed oxidative stress effects, suggesting potential benefits for managing celiac disease inflammation through a gluten-free diet.
Preparation and Immunochemical Characterization of a Water-Soluble Gluten Peptide Fraction for Improving the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease.

The diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) is complex and requires a multi-step procedure (symptoms, serology, duodenal biopsy, effect of a gluten-free diet, and optional genetic). The aim of the study was to contribute to the improvement of CD diagnosis by preparing a water-soluble gluten peptide fraction (called Solgluten) and by selecting gluten-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the detection of gluten immunogenic gluten peptides (GIPs) in urine and blood serum spiked with Solgluten. Food-grade Solgluten was prepared by the extraction of a peptic digest of vital gluten with water, centrifugation, and freeze-drying.
