Article Abstract
Background: A substantial proportion of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients has duodenal inflammation of largely unknown etiology. However, because of its histologic similarities with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity has been proposed as a potential mechanism.
Objective: We aimed to elucidate the role of the duodenal microenvironment in the pathogenesis of duodenal inflammation in CVID by investigating the transcriptional, proteomic, and microbial signatures of duodenal biopsy samples in CVID.
Methods: DNA, total RNA, and protein were isolated from snap-frozen pieces of duodenal biopsy samples from CVID (with and without duodenal inflammation), healthy controls, and patients with celiac disease (untreated). RNA sequencing, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, and 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing (bacteria) were then performed.
Results: CVID separated from controls in regulation of transcriptional response to lipopolysaccharide and cellular immune responses. These differences were independent of mucosal inflammation. Instead, CVID patients with duodenal inflammation displayed alterations in transcription of genes involved in response to viral infections. Four proteins were differently regulated between CVID patients and healthy controls-DBNL, TRMT11, GCHFR, and IGHA2-independent of duodenal inflammation. Despite similar histology, there were major differences in CVID with duodenal inflammation and celiac disease both at the RNA and protein level. No significant difference was observed in the bacterial gut microbial signature between CVID, celiac, and healthy controls.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest the existence of altered functions of the duodenal epithelium, particularly in response to lipopolysaccharide and viruses. The latter finding was related to duodenal inflammation, suggesting that viruses, not gluten sensitivity, could be related to duodenal inflammation in CVID.

In coeliac disease (CeD), the epithelial lining (EL) of the small intestine is severely damaged by a complex auto-inflammatory response, leading intraepithelial lymphocytes to attack epithelial cells. To understand the intestinal changes and genetic regulation in CeD, we investigated the heterogeneity in the transcriptomic profile of the duodenal EL using RNA-seq and eQTL analysis on predicted cell types. The study included duodenal biopsies from 82 patients, grouped into controls, gluten-free diet treated CeD and untreated CeD.

Introduction: Although Coeliac disease (CD) current and only treatment is a life-long strict gluten free diet (GFD), some patients suffer from persistent duodenal lesions despite years into the diet. Hence, we aimed to study the effect that the GFD elicits on the mucosal immune infiltrate from these patients.
Method: To that end, duodenal biopsies were collected from non-coeliac controls and CD patients, both at diagnosis and after at least one year into the GFD.

Duodenal perforation is a rare but harmful complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Early diagnosis and appropriate management are critical to reduce morbidity and mortality. Four patients, aged 36 to 56 years, underwent ERCP for biliary obstruction due to choledocholithiasis or postoperative biliary stricture.

Transcription factors are significant regulators of gene expression in most biological processes related to diabetes, including beta cell (β-cell) development, insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Dysregulation of transcription factor expression or abundance has been closely associated with the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, including pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (), neurogenic differentiation 1 (), and forkhead box protein O1 (). Gene expression is regulated at the transcriptional level by transcription factor binding, epigenetically by DNA methylation and chromatin remodelling, and post-transcriptional mechanisms, including alternative splicing and microRNA (miRNA).

Background: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) lesions are common in patients with chronic kidney disease and may contribute to anemia and increased morbidity, especially in patients on hemodialysis (HD). They become even more significant in patients undergoing kidney transplantation about to be subjected to lifelong immunosuppressive drugs.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University's Departments of Gastroenterology and Nephrology analyzed 128 prospective kidney transplant patients following upper GI endoscopy.
