BACKGROUND: Newborns at high risk of celiac disease (CD) were recruited in Italy in the context of the PreventCD study and closely monitored for CD, from 4 months up to a mean age of 8 years at follow-up. The aim of our study was to investigate intestinal T-cell reactivity to gliadin at the first clinical and/or serological signs of CD.
METHODS: Gliadin-reactive T-cell lines were generated from intestinal biopsies of 19 HLA-DQ2-or HLA-DQ8-positive children. At biopsy, 11 children had a diagnosis of acute CD, two of potential CD, and six were non-celiac controls. Immune reactivity was evaluated against gliadin and known immunogenic peptides from α-, γ-, or ω-gliadins. The role of deamidation by transglutaminase (tTG) in determining the immunogenicity of gliadin was also investigated.
RESULTS: Most of the children with CD (either acute or potential) had an inflammatory response to gliadin. Notably, signs of T-cell reactivity to gliadin were also found in some non-celiac subjects, in which IFN-γ responses occurred mainly when regulatory IL-10 and TGF-β cytokines were blocked. Interestingly, PreventCD children reacted to gliadin peptides found active in adult CD patients, and tTG deamidation markedly enhanced gliadin recognition.
CONCLUSIONS: T cells reactive to gliadin can be detected in the intestine of children at high risk of developing CD, in some cases also in the presence of a normal mucosa and negative CD-associated antibodies. Furthermore, children at a very early stage of CD recognize the same gliadin epitopes that are active in adult CD patients. Tissue transglutaminase strongly enhances gluten T-cell immunogenicity in early CD.
