    Non-invasive Approach: New Serum Parameters Show Celiac Disease and RCDI Different from RCDII and EATL

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 01/04/2013 - Currently, doctors must still use invasive techniques to distinguish between uncomplicated and complicated forms of celiac disease.

    CC--Horia_VarlanIn an effort to find a non-invasive approach to the issue, a research team recently set out to investigate the potential use of novel serum parameters, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, IL-22, sCD25, sCD27, granzyme-B, sMICA and sCTLA-4 in patients diagnosed with active celiac disease, celiac disease on a GFD, Refractory coeliac disease (RCD) type I and II, and enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL).

    The research team included Greetje J. Tack, Roy L. van Wanrooij, B. Mary Von Blomberg, Hedayat Amini, Veerle M. Coupe, Petra Bonnet, Chris J. Mulder and Marco W. Schreurs.

    Their investigation revealed elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory IL-8, IL-17 and sCD25 in both active celiac disease and in refractory celiac disease, types I and II.

    They also found that RCDII patients displayed higher serum levels of soluble granzyme-B and IL-6 in comparison to active celiac disease patients. Furthermore, EATL patients showed higher levels of IL-6 as compared to all other groups. Otherwise, the team found no differences between RCDI and active celiac disease or RCDII.

    These novel serum parameters show distinct immunological differences in RCDII and EATL, compared with uncomplicated celiac disease and RCDI.

    Celiac.com 11/29/2007 - Studies have documented the role of gut microbiotic bacteria in diseases involving chronic inflammation, such as celiac disease, yet there is scant data on such bacteria that is specific to people with celiac disease. A team of Spanish and Italian researchers from three different hospitals and universities made up of Yolanda Sanz, Ester Sanchez, Marta Marzotto, Miguel Calabuig, Sandra Torriani, and Franco Dellaglio set out to determine what differences might exist between the microbiotic bacteria in the guts of children with celiac disease compared to a healthy control group of their peers.
    The team conducted a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of fecal samples from both the celiac and the control groups. They found that children with celiac disease...
