Celiac disease A gastrointestinal disease with environmental, genetic, and immunologic components.Gastroenterol Clin North Am. 1992; 21: 405-425Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar This brief overview of celiac disease and its pathogenesis is designed to place this disease, and current views of its pathogenesis, in a context appropriate for further consideration within the framework of questions being posed by the NIH Consensus Conference on Celiac Disease.Pathology and clinical symptomsFirst, a brief overview of disease pathology and clinical symptoms. The luminal surface of a small intestinal mucosal biopsy specimen from a healthy subject and an individual with celiac disease with total villous atrophy, as viewed through a dissecting microscope, are shown in Figure 1A and 1B, respectively. The normal biopsy specimen shows abundant villi (looking much like the shag household carpets of a prior era), whereas the biopsy specimen from the patient with celiac disease shows a complete loss of villi, with a flat mucosal surface accentuated by ridges and numerous openings of the crypts onto the luminal surface. Microscopic analysis of a normal H&E-stained, small intestinal mucosal biopsy specimen is shown in Figure 1C. Characteristic features include tall villi lined by a single layer of columnar epithelial cells with basally oriented nuclei, a “smattering” of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) occurring at a ratio of approximately 1 per 6–10 epithelial cells, a normal complement of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the lamina propria consistent with the normal “physiologic inflammation” of the small intestine, and a villous to crypt ratio of ∼4–5:1. Contrast that biopsy specimen with the biopsy specimen from a celiac disease patient with total villous atrophy as shown in Figure 1D. The latter reveals a complete loss of villi, markedly abnormal squamoid surface epithelial cells, an increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes, a chronic lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltrate in the lamina propria, and marked crypt hyperplasia with increased crypt mitoses. The pathology shown in this celiac biopsy specimen reflects the more severe end of the pathologic spectrum of disease, which, as indicated in Figure 2, can vary markedly among affected individuals.Figure 2Spectrum of pathology and malabsorption in celiac disease. The extent of the mucosal abnormality can vary markedly in celiac disease. Consistent with this, the extent of nutrient malabsorption also varies from minimal to severe.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT)Just as the pathology can vary markedly among patients, so can the spectrum of clinical symptoms, which can range from severe to subtle (Figure 3). The proportion of individuals presenting with more dramatic symptoms of diarrhea, severe weight loss, and malnutrition is decreasing when compared with those presenting with mild or minimal symptoms or asymptomatic individuals in which disease is discovered only when investigating nongastrointestinal symptoms, for example, iron deficiency anemia or osteopenia.2Lo W.

Collectively, the disease-activating proteins in wheat, rye, and barley are widely termed “gluten.” Strictly speaking however, gluten is the scientific name for only the disease-activating proteins in wheat. Gluten itself contains 2 major protein fractions, the gliadins and the glutenins, both of which contain disease-activating proteins.7van de Wal Y. Kooy Y.M. van Veelen P. Vader W. August S.A.

In contrast, oats, which contains few disease-activating proteins, is more distantly related as are rice, maize, sorghum, and millet.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT)The very high glutamine and proline content in the gliadins and glutenins of wheat, as well as in the hordeins and secalins, plays a key role in disease pathogenesis (Figure 5). The high proline content renders these proteins relatively resistant to proteolytic digestion by gastric, pancreatic, and brush border enzymes in the human intestine. This results in the generation and presence of relatively large peptides, with a high proline and glutamine content in the small intestine. However, this alone does not seem sufficient to cause disease because, currently, there is no known difference in protein digestion between healthy individuals and those susceptible to developing celiac disease. Nonetheless, it is conceivable that the failure to degrade these proteins may be exaggerated in the small intestine of individuals with active disease who have marked epithelial cell brush border injury and in those with accompanying pancreatic dysfunction. Interestingly, prolyl endopeptidases produced by bacteria can digest these proline-rich gluten peptides, and treatment with such enzymes has been suggested as a possible therapeutic adjunct to the standard “gluten” free diet13Hausch F.

The proteins in wheat, rye, and barley that activate celiac disease are characterized by a high content of glutamine (Q) and proline (P) as seen in this example, which is the primary amino acid sequence of an α gliadin (A-gliadin). This is only one of many different α gliadins present in wheat.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT)Genetic factors: HLA class II genes and tissue transglutaminaseGenetics clearly play a key role in the pathogenesis of celiac disease.

Nonetheless, once celiac disease develops, the clinical course is similar in those homozygous for DR3(DR17) or heterozygous for DR3(17)/7, DR5/7, or DR3(17)/other. Interestingly, and consistent with the known DQ genetics of disease susceptibility, celiac disease is rare in Japan where the disease-associated DQ alleles are also rare in the population.Figure 7Two ways to inherit the DQ2 heterodimer associated with celiac disease. DR17 haplotypes (formerly termed DR3) carry in cis (ie, on the same chromosome) the DQ alleles B1*0201, which encodes a β chain, and A1*05, which encodes an α chain. The β and α chain form a DQ heterodimer that is associated with celiac disease. DR7 haplotypes carry the very closely related DQB1*0202 allele on 1 chromosome. If the other chromosome carries a DR 11 or 12 haplotype (formerly termed DR5) that has the DQA1*05 allele, the β and α chains encoded by those alleles can pair in the cell and form the disease-associated DQ2 heterodimer. Please note that, if an individual is homozygous for DR17, or heterozygous for DR17/DR7, 100% and 50%, respectively, of their DQ molecules can be the celiac disease-associated HLA-DQ2.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload (PPT)Extensive searches for additional genes associated with celiac disease have used genome-wide screening approaches. Candidate genetic regions have been identified, although with significantly weaker associations to disease than genes at the DQ locus, and the putative susceptibility genes involved at those loci and the possible mechanisms by which they may contribute to disease currently remain unknown.26Zhong F.

HLA class II molecules are expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells where they can bind and subsequently present “foreign” peptides encountered in the extracellular environment to populations of CD4 T cells that recognize the DQ2- or DQ8-peptide complex.

However, this assumed pathway seemed an enigma for several years because “gluten” peptides largely lack the negatively charged amino acids that are preferred for binding to the disease-associated DQ2 or DQ8 heterodimers and, in the absence of binding, are unlikely to activate disease-relevant CD4 T cells.

The activated T cells were found to produce mainly Th1 type cytokines, most notably γ-interferon. Of note, such T cells were not found in the intestinal mucosa of individuals without celiac disease, who, nonetheless, also have the relevant disease-associated DQ heterodimer.Figure 8DQ2 heterodimers on the surface of antigen-presenting cells bind “gluten” peptides. HLA class II molecules that are expressed on the cell surface of antigen-presenting cells (eg, macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells) bind foreign peptides encountered extracellularly.

Structural basis for HLA-DQ2-mediated presentation of gluten epitopes in celiac disease.Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2004; 101: 4175-4179Crossref PubMed Scopus (360) Google Scholar This has provided additional insights into the specialized characteristics of DQ2, which allow it to bind proline-rich “gluten” peptides that contain deamidated glutamine residues. One unique feature of the DQ2 molecule is the presence of several “pockets” that favor binding of negatively charged residues, such as those found in gluten peptides, when glutamine is deamidated to glutamic acid. In addition, DQ2, like other MHC class II molecules, favors binding peptides with a left-handed polyproline II helical configuration, which is characteristic of these gliadins peptides.10Kasarda D.D.
