Prospective Studies on Celiac Disease


On the Coeliac Affection



Definition

  • Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition

  • Occurs in genetically susceptible individuals

    • DQ2 and/or DQ8 positive HLA haplotype is necessary but not sufficient
  • A unique autoimmune disorder because:

    • both the environmental trigger (gluten) and the autoantigen (tissue Transglutaminase) are known
    • elimination of the environmental trigger leads to a complete resolution of the disease


Pathogenesis

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Environmental triggers

    • Dietary
    • Non dietary?


Genetics

  • Several genes are involved

  • The most consistent genetic component depends on the presence of HLA-DQ (DQ2 and / or DQ8) genes

  • Other genes (not yet identified) account for 60 % of the inherited component of the disease

  • HLA-DQ2 and / or DQ8 genes are necessary (No DQ2/8, no Celiac Disease!) but not sufficient for the development of the disease





Dietary Factors



The Celiac Iceberg



Treatment Options



Treatment

  • Only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet (GFD)

    • Strict, lifelong diet
    • Avoid:
      • Wheat
      • Rye
      • Barley


Gluten-Containing Grains to Avoid

  • Wheat Bulgar Filler

  • Wheat Bran Couscous Graham flour

  • Wheat Starch Durum Kamut

  • Wheat Germ Einkorn Matzo

  • Flour/Meal Barley Emmer

  • Semolina Barley Malt/ Extract Faro

  • Spelt Rye Triticale



Sources of Gluten

  • OBVIOUS SOURCES

    • Bread
    • Bagels
    • Cakes
    • Cereal
    • Cookies
    • Pasta / noodles
    • Pastries / pies
    • Rolls


Sources of Gluten



Gluten-Free Grains and Starches



Other Items to Consider

  • Lipstick/Gloss/Balms

  • Mouthwash/Toothpaste

  • Play Dough

  • Stamp and Envelope Glues

  • Vitamin, Herbal, and

  • Mineral preparations

  • Prescription or OTC Medications



Dietary Adherence: A Common Problem

  • Only 50% of Americans with a chronic illness adhere to their treatment regimen including:

    • diet
    • exercise
    • medication
  • Dietary compliance can be the most difficult aspect of treatment



Health Beliefs of Adults with Celiac Disease

  • Survey of 100 people in Celiac Disease support group (Buffalo, NY)

    • Number of people who agreed with following statements:
      • “If I eat less gluten I will have less intestinal damage.” –51%
      • “I’ve lived this long eating gluten, how much will the gluten- free diet really help me now?” –33%
      • “My doctor should be the one to tell me when I need follow up testing.” –26%
      • “Scientist/doctors still haven’t proven that gluten really hurts them.” –16%


Barriers to Compliance

  • Ability to manage emotions – depression, anxiety

  • Ability to resist temptation – exercising restraint

  • Feelings of deprivation

  • Fear generated by

  • inaccurate information



Barriers to Compliance

  • Time pressure – time to plan, prepare food is longer

  • Planning – work required to plan meals

  • Competing priorities – family, job, etc.

  • Assessing gluten content in

  • foods/label reading

  • Eating out – avoidance, fear, difficult to ensure food is safe



  • Gluten and treatment of Celiac Disease:

  • How Much is Too Much?



The gluten microchallenge study

  • Coordinator: Carlo Catassi, M.D.



Investigating the dose-effect relationship the gluten microchallenge

  • CD patients on long-term, strict GFD

  • Perspective study design

  • While the GFD is maintained throughout the study-period, a given amount of gluten/gliadin is added to the diet

  • Clinical, serological and biopsy evaluation before and after the microchallenge

  • The background noise caused by possible gluten contamination of the GFD was minimized by inclusion of a control group





Why performinging a new microchallenge study

  • Need of investigating the effects of lower gluten doses

  • Need of prolonging the duration of the microchallenge

  • Need of a control group

  • Need of investigating gluten rather than gliadin



Gluten and Giadins

  • Gluten is the main proteic fraction in wheat (8-14 %);

  • The toxicity is mainly due to the gliadins (50 %), however glutenins also contribute to toxicity;

  • Daily intake of gluten in adults: ~ 15 g (Dautch data);

  • Daily consumption of flower for a typical GFD in celiac subjects: ~ 80 g;

  • 200 mg/Kg of gluten = 100 mg/Kg of gliadin = 100 ppm of gliadin (=2.5g of bread!)



The new microchallenge study

  • AIM

  • To evaluate the consequences of the protracted ingestion of minimal daily gluten intake (either 10 or 50 mg) in a group of adult celiacs on long-term treatment with the gluten-free diet (GFD)

  • TYPE OF STUDY

  • Multicentre, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind

  • STUDY PERIOD

  • Years 2001-2004

  • SPONSOR

  • Italian Celiac Society (AIC)



The “new” Italian microchallenge study

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Patients with biopsy-proven CD on a GFD for at least 2 years



The Italian microchallenge study Study-Design



The Italian microchallenge study Methods

  • Purified gluten was used for the microchallenge study (Amygluten 110, Tate & Lyle, UK)

  • Gluten- or lactose (placebo) containing capsules were centrally prepared

  • All laboratory tests were centrally performed

  • Monthly monitoring of adherence to the protocol

  • Measurement of gluten contamination in commercially available GF food by ELISA (Ridascreen Gliadin, R-Biopharm AG, Germany)

  • Serum AGA (ELISA) and anti-tTG (ELISA)

  • Small bowel biopsy and morphometry on 10 villi, IEL count (CD3+), ab IEL count

  • Control biopsies from non-celiac GE patients



Gluten content in commercially-available gluten free products in Italy where currently food labeling policies for gluten free products are set at 20 ppm
