Coeliac disease is a strong risk factor for Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease while a gluten free diet is protective: a systematic review and meta-analysis. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 71:102577. [PMID: 38659976 PMCID: PMC11039972 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) mechanisms are well described, but the aetiology is uncertain. Coeliac disease (CD), a gluten enteropathy with increased duodenal eosinophils overlaps with GORD. Functional dyspepsia is a condition where duodenal eosinophilia is featured, and a 6-fold increased risk of incident GORD has been observed. Perturbations of the duodenum can alter proximal gastric and oesophageal motor function. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the association between CD and GORD. Methods A systematic search of studies reporting the association of GORD and CD was conducted. CD was defined by combined serological and histological parameters. GORD was defined based on classical symptoms, oesophagitis (endoscopic or histologic) or abnormal 24-h pH monitoring; studies reporting oesophageal motility abnormalities linked with GORD were also included. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model. Findings 31 papers were included. Individuals with CD on a gluten containing diet were 3 times more likely to have GORD than controls (OR: 3.37, 95% CI: 2.09-5.44), and over 10 times more likely when compared to those on a gluten free diet (GFD) (OR: 10.20, 95% CI: 6.49-16.04). Endoscopic oesophagitis was significantly associated with CD (OR: 4.96; 95% CI: 2.22-11.06). One year of a GFD in CD and GORD was more efficacious in preventing GORD symptom relapse than treatment with 8 weeks of PPI in non-CD GORD patients (OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.08-0.36). Paediatric CD patients were more likely to develop GORD (OR: 3.29, 95% CI: 1.46-7.43), compared to adult CD patients (OR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.65-3.93). Interpretation CD is strongly associated with GORD but there was high heterogeneity. More convincingly, a GFD substantially improves GORD symptoms, suggesting a role for duodenal inflammation and dietary antigens in the aetiology of a subset with GORD. Ruling out CD in patients with GORD may be beneficial. Funding The study was supported by an Investigator Grant from the NHMRC to Dr. Talley.

Sanchez-Solares J, Sanchez L, Pablo-Torres C, Diaz-Fernandez C, Sørensen P, Barber D, Gomez-Casado C. Celiac Disease Causes Epithelial Disruption and Regulatory T Cell Recruitment in the Oral Mucosa. Front Immunol 2021; 12:623805. [PMID: 33717129 PMCID: PMC7947325 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.623805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by an immune-triggered enteropathy upon gluten intake. The only current treatment available is lifelong Gluten Free Diet (GFD). Several extraintestinal manifestations have been described in CD, some affecting the oral mucosa. Thus, we hypothesized that oral mucosa could potentially be a target for novel biomarkers and an administration route for CD treatment. Six de novo diagnosed and seven CD patients under GFD for at least 1 year were recruited. Non-celiac subjects (n = 8) were recruited as control group. Two biopsies of the cheek lining were taken from each subject for mRNA analysis and immunohistochemical characterization. We observed a significant decrease in the expression of epithelial junction proteins in all CD patients, indicating that oral mucosa barrier integrity is compromised. FoxP3+ population was greatly increased in CD patients, suggesting that Tregs are recruited to the damaged mucosa, even after avoidance of gluten. Amphiregulin mRNA levels from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) and epithelial damage in the oral mucosa correlated with Treg infiltration in all the experimental groups, suggesting that recruited Tregs might display a “repair” phenotype. Based on these results, we propose that oral mucosa is altered in CD and, as such, might have diagnostic potential. Furthermore, due to its tolerogenic nature, it could be an important target for oral immunotherapy.

Analysis of CD15, CD57 and HIF-1α in biopsies of patients with peri-implantitis. Pathol Res Pract 2017; 213:1097-1101. [PMID: 28778496 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2017.07.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2017] [Revised: 06/24/2017] [Accepted: 07/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Peri-implantitis is an infectious disease characterized by inflammation of the tissues surrounding the implant, bleeding on probing with or without suppuration, and bone loss. Peri-implant lesions contain a leukocyte infiltrate of plasma cells, lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. A survey of the literature did not show any studies reporting an association between hypoxia and peri-implantitis. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate histological changes and immunostaining for CD15, CD57 and HIF-1α in the peri-implant mucosa of patients with and without peri-implantitis. Mucosal biopsies were obtained from 18 patients with peri-implantitis and 10 control subjects without peri-implantitis at a private health care center between 2010 and 2012. The sections were fixed in 10% buffered formalin, processed and embedded in paraffin for histopathological and immunohistochemical study. Acanthosis, spongiosis and exocytosis were observed in both groups, with no significant difference between them. The peri-implantitis group showed increased immunostaining for CD15, a neutrophil marker, and HIF-1α, a tissue hypoxia marker, but no significant difference in immunostaining for CD57, a Natural Killer cell marker. The increase in neutrophil (CD15) and hypoxia (HIF-1α) markers in patients with peri-implantitis suggests an active participation of neutrophils and hypoxia in the pathogenesis of this disease. Since the present study was the first to evaluate the expression of CD15, CD57 and HIF-1α in peri-implant tissues, further studies should be performed to better understand the role of these molecules in peri-implantitis.

Abstract
HIV infections frequently affect the oral cavity, and local changes may be utilized as indicators of immunosuppression in HIV-positive patients. Morphometric and morphological features of the lining, masticatory, and specialized epithelium of the oral mucosa were studied in 12 HIV-positive and 12 HIV-negative patients autopsied from 2007 to 2010. Mucosal samples from the cheek, gingival, and tongue of 24 individuals were fixed in Carnoy solution and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Various morphometric characteristics (epithelial thickness, number of cell layers, mean cell diameter) and morphological parameters (basal layer hyperplasia, exocytosis of inflammatory cells, glycogenic acanthosis, cell ballooning degeneration) were then measured. The HIV-positive group had a greater epithelial thickness (mean: 304.4μm) and a higher mean cell diameter (11.84μm), whereas the HIV-negative group had more epithelial layers (26.7). Basal layer hyperplasia did not differ significantly between the two groups, but exocytosis of inflammatory cells, glycogenic acanthosis, cell ballooning, and spongiosis were more prevalent in the HIV-positive group. Our findings demonstrate that HIV infection causes diverse epithelial changes in the oral cavity, including thickening, increased cell diameter, increased migration of inflammatory cells, and inter- and intra-cellular edema.

[PMID: 22135701 PMCID: PMC3227877 DOI: 10.2174/1874210601105010174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2011] [Revised: 08/22/2011] [Accepted: 08/30/2011] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder that can be divided into typical and atypical forms. Atypical forms can show extraintestinal manifestations among which oral signs are very frequent. Considering that the pathogenesis of CD is related to a positivity to specific HLA-DQB1 haplotypes, we tested whether the presence of the HLA-DQB1*02 allele could be a hypothetical cause of the development of oral manifestations. Subjects and Methods: For this study was been examined the oral condition of 98 Sardinian patients, all affected by CD and all on a gluten-free diet for at least 1 year. Then was been determined each patient’s HLA-DQB1 haplotype and compared these results with clinical information. Results: The statistical analysis evidenced that the absence of the HLA-DQB1*02 allele predisposes to oral manifestations such as dental enamel defects (DED) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) (Pvalue=5.98x10-05, OR = 0.23, CI: (0.10 - 0.45) per each copy of the HLA allele). Conclusions: These results showed that the presence of the HLA-DQB1*02 allele influences the development of oral signs in a dose-dependent manner and also how the HLA haplotype connected to oral signs could have a fundamental role for the diagnosis of atypical forms of CD.
