    Patients with Celiac Disease, Multiple Myeloma React Differently to Various Kinds of Gliadin

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 07/01/2009 - Immunity to food allergens such as gliadin, or the proteins in cow's milk is central to prevention of certain diseases via an appropriate restriction diet. Detecting heightened levels immune reactions to antigen(s) in food is important because scientists have credible reports of certain health disturbances, such as celiac disease, and some pre-malignant conditions, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), disappearing under a regimen of appropriate food restriction diets.

    Only a small number of genetically predisposed individuals show a toxic  small bowel mucosa reaction to gliadin. Since levels of immunogenic gliadin may vary between different wheat species, a team of researchers first set out to assess immunogenic gliadin levels in ten bread wheat types and in three strains of commercially grown durum wheat.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The team was made up of Aleksandra Konic-Ristic, Dejan Dodig, Radmilo Krstic, Svetislav Jelic, Ivan Stankovic, Aleksandra Ninkovic, Jelena Radic, Irina Besu, Branka Bonaci-Nikolic, Njegica Jojic, Milica Djordjevic, Dragan Popovic, and Zorica Juranic.

    They were spurred by previous studies that showed sera of some of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with elevated levels of anti-gliadin IgA, without enhanced levels of anti-gliadin IgG antibodies, as determined by commercial ELISA test.

    They designed their own specifically to uncover any hidden anti-gliadin IgG immunoreactivity in patient blood samples. For this reason, researchers tested blood of both MM patients and celiac disease patient for immunoreaction with native gliadin isolated from regional wheat species used for bread and pasta making.

    The team isolated gliadin from wheat flour by two step 60% ehanolic extraction. They determined gliadin levels by commercial R5 Mendez Elisa using PWG gliadin as the standard.

    Results showed immunogenic gliadin content varies between 50.4 and 65.4 mg/g in bread wheat samples and between 20 and 25.6 mg/g in durum wheat samples.

    Anti-gliadin IgA and IgG immunoreactivity of patients'sera in (IU/ml) was first measured by commercial diagnostic Binding Site ELISA test, and then additionally by non-commercial ELISA tests, using standardized ethanol wheat extracts -gliadin as the antigen.

    In both patient groups, IgA immunoreactivity to gliadin from different samples was almost homogenous and in correlation with results from commercial test, except for one IgA(lambda) myeloma patient. However, results for IgG immunoreactivity were less homogeneous.

    Results showed different immunogenic gliadin epitope levels in various species of wheat. They also point to a need for developing a new standard antigen, a representative mixture of gliadin isolated from local wheat species used for bread production in corresponding geographic region for ELISA diagnostic tests.

    Celiac.com 09/27/2005 - What does a positive endomysial antibody (EmA) test mean if the biopsy does not show villous atrophy? The authors studied 35 patients where this was the case. In the authors practice, these patients account for 10% of all EmA positives.
    Firstly, the lack of villous atrophy did not necessarily mean a normal biopsy: 14 patients had excess inflammatory cells (lymphocytes) consistent with a mild abnormality of gluten sensitivity.

    Celiac.com 01/16/2012 - Should there be mass screening for celiac disease? Currently, there is no consensus among scientists or among public policy makers in favor of mass screening for celiac disease as a public health intervention. Advocacy for mass celiac disease screening remains somewhat controversial.
    A team of researchers recently conducted a mixed-method study to address the issue of mass screening for celiac disease from the perspective of newly diagnosed patients and their parents.
    The study team included Anna Rosén; Maria Emmelin; Annelie Carlsson; Solveig Hammarroth; Eva Karlsson, and Anneli Ivarsson.
    The team screened data from a total of 145 people with antibody-detected celiac disease. They got the data from a Swedish school-based screening study. They then ...

    Celiac.com 03/01/2012 - Currently, the best way to assess whether patients with celiac disease are actually maintaining a strict gluten-free diet is to have trained experts conduct a dietary interview. These interviews can vary in complexity, depending on the nature and number of the questions, and on the amount of medical expertise required to score the responses.
    A team of researchers has developed a way to score gluten-free dietary adherence  based on answers to four quick and easy questions that can be assessed by non-expert personnel. The researchers recently set out to test the reliability of their questionnaire in a new group of patients.
    The research team includes F. Biagi, P.I. Bianchi, A. Marchese, L. Trotta, C. Vattiato, D. Balduzzi, G. Brusco, A. Andrealli, F. Cisarò...

    Celiac.com 05/28/2012 - Two researchers recently conducted an assessment of the contribution of celiac disease autoantibodies to the disease process.
    The researchers were Katri Lindfors, of the Pediatric Research Center, University of Tampere & Tampere University Hospital and Katri Kaukinen, affiliated with both the School of Medicine, at the University of Tampere, and the Department of Gastroenterology & Alimentary Tract Surgery at Tampere University Hospital, both in Tampere, Finland.
    The protein transglutaminase 2 is a multifunctional protein that plays a role in cellular adhesion.
    Moreover, transglutaminase 2 has been identified as the auto-antigen in celiac disease, and in untreated celiac disease. In addition to being present in the serum, the transglutaminase...
