Usefulness of a double immunofluorescence technique for detection of intestinal tTG-IgA deposits in diabetic and non-diabetic children with celiac disease. Pediatr Neonatol 2022:S1875-9572(22)00269-8. [PMID: 36610914 DOI: 10.1016/j.pedneo.2022.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is frequently associated with type I diabetes mellitus (T1D), where its diagnosis may be a challenging task. This study aims to test the usefulness of the double staining immunofluorescence (dsIF) technique for the detection of intestinal anti-tissue transglutaminase specific IgA antibody (tTG-IgA) deposits in CD and T1D children with coexisting CD. METHODS A total of 46 patients (30 cases of CD and 16 cases of T1D with CD) and 16 non-diabetic, non-celiac children were recruited. Endoscopic biopsies were taken and analyzed by light microscopy, quantitative histology (QH), and a dsIF technique. RESULTS Histologically, villous atrophy was most severe in CD, followed by T1D with CD, while all control biopsies except 1 were normal. QH showed a statistically significant difference in villous height (Vh), crypt depth (CrD), and Vh:CrD ratio between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with CD. dsIF technique could detect tTG-IgA deposits in 85.7% of cases of CD alone and 93.8% of biopsies from diabetic children. Surprisingly, deposits were more extensive in biopsies with minimal villous shortening. Also, all 5 biopsies from T1D patients with normal histology were dsIF positive. CONCLUSION In-situ analysis of tTG-IgA immune deposits facilitates the detection of positive serology early-onset CD. Quantitative analysis may be used as an ancillary tool to increase the reliability of histological findings in these patients.

Abstract
Objective Evaluate the celiac disease (CD) markers, within the scope of its screening, in a pediatric population with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) at Hospital de Braga (HB) and determine the prevalence of CD in the sample. Reflect on CD screening algorithm applied in this pediatric population. Methods Retrospective observational study with 94 patients diagnosed with T1D at age 10 years or younger, followed up at the HB Outpatient Diabetology Consultation, including those referred from other hospitals. Record of clinical information, IgA anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysium and HLA DQ2/DQ8 haplotypes. Results We obtained positive serological test for CD in 4 patients. This test had 100% sensitivity and specificity. The prevalence of CD was 4.3% (n = 4). Positive HLA screening in 84.6% of patients, with both sensitivity and negative predictive value of 100% and specificity of 16.67%. Diagnosis of CD was made on average 3.40 ± 3.32 years after the diagnosis of TD1. All cases of CD registered non-gastrointestinal manifestations, none had gastrointestinal symptoms. Conclusion This study proved that there is a higher prevalence of CD in pediatric population with TD1, when compared to general population, and clarified the importance of CD screening. Furthermore, it was observed that serological screening for CD antibodies is an excellent screening test and HLA typing, although not the most suitable first line test, can be useful in excluding the possibility of patients with T1D developing CD.

Front Pediatr 2022; 10:960825. [PMID: 36210930 PMCID: PMC9537605 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.960825] [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: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The frequency of celiac disease autoantibody (CDAb) positivity in type 1 diabetes (T1D) has increased due to unclear mechanisms, including autoimmune injury. Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) participate in autoimmune diseases, but the roles of circRNAs in T1D with CDAbs are currently unknown. This study aimed to determine the frequency of CDAbs in Chinese children with T1D and describe the relationship between CDAbs and circRNAs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty patients diagnosed with T1D were screened for CDAbs and CD-predisposing genes, and circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from 47 patients. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was searched for candidate circRNAs in related studies on T1D PBMCs. Data on clinical characteristics (i.e., blood glucose control, residual islet function, and daily insulin dosage) and immunophenotypes (i.e., islet autoantibodies and immune cell subsets) were collected. RESULTS In total, 35.0% of patients were positive for CDAbs. CD-predisposing genes accounted for 52.5% of the genes, and no significant difference in frequency was found between the CDAb-positive (CDAb+) and CDAb-negative (CDAb-) groups. In addition, among the differentially expressed circRNAs from the GEO database, five highly conserved circRNAs homologous to humans and mice were screened, and only the expression of hsa_circ_0004564 in the CDAb+ group significantly decreased (CDAb+ vs. CDAb-:1.72 ± 1.92 vs. 11.12 ± 8.59, p = 6.0 × 10-6), while the expression of hsa_circ_0004564 was upregulated in the general T1D population. Moreover, its parental gene RAPH1 was significantly upregulated (CDAb+ vs. CDAb-:1.26 ± 0.99 vs. 0.61 ± 0.46, p = 0.011). Importantly, the positive correlation between hsa_circ_0004564 and CD3+ cells was validated in children with T1D after adjustments for CDAbs (p = 0.029), while there were no correlations between hsa_circ_0004564 and clinical characteristics or other immune cell subsets (i.e., CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and natural killer cells). CONCLUSION This study highlights the importance of screening for CD in Chinese children with T1D, considering the high prevalence of CDAb positivity and CD-predisposing genes. The profile of candidate circRNAs in children with T1D with CDAbs was different from that in previous reports on general T1D patients from the GEO database. Moreover, hsa_circ_0004564 and its parental gene RAPH1 may be new targets for studying immune mechanisms in children with T1D and CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at much higher risk of developing celiac disease (CD) than the general population. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and differences in clinical presentation of CD in T1D in different regions of the world. METHODS This study is based on the Better control in Pediatric and Adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate cEnTers of Reference (SWEET) database. There were 57 375 patients included in the study, aged ≤18 years from 54 SWEET centers. Only centers with screening for celiac disease were included. Regression models adjusted for age, diabetes duration, and gender and a fixed effect in the models for region was used. Diabetes duration, age at diabetes onset, and sex were presented as unadjusted results. RESULTS CD was present in 2652 subjects (4.5%), with different prevalence among regions: from 1.9% in Asia/Middle East to 6.9% in Australia/New Zealand. CD was observed more often among females. Comparing children with and without CD, characteristics for those with CD were younger age at diabetes onset (6.3 [3.3; 9.8] vs 8.1 [4.6; 11.3], P < 0.001) and had longer diabetes duration (6.4 [3.6; 9.8] vs 4.8 [2.1; 8.2], P < 0.001). Further, they had lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in Europe and North America/Canada; lower body mass index (BMI)-SD score (BMI-SDS) in southern Europe, North America, and Canada; In most regions daily insulin dose was lower, height-SDS was lower, and the percentage of insulin pump users was higher in children with T1D and CD. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence and the anthropometric and metabolic consequences of CD in children with T1D differ around the world.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adult-onset autoimmune diabetes (AID) has two different phenotypes: classic type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), with insulin requirement just after diagnosis, and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). The purpose of this study is to characterize patients with AID followed on a tertiary centre, comparing classic T1DM and LADA. METHODS We collected data from patients with diabetes and positive islet autoantibodies, aged 30 years old and over at diagnosis. Patients who started insulin in the first 6 months were classified as T1DM and patients with no insulin requirements in the first 6 months were classified as LADA. Data regarding clinical presentation, autoantibodies, A1C and C-peptide at diagnosis, pharmacologic treatment and complications were analysed. RESULTS We included 92 patients, 46 with classic T1DM and 46 with LADA. The percentage of females was 50% in T1DM group and 52.1% in LADA group. The median age at diagnosis was 38 years (IQR-15) for T1DM and 42 years (IQR-15) for LADA (p = 0.057). The median time between diagnosis of diabetes and diagnosis of autoimmune aetiology was 0 months in T1DM group and 60 months in LADA group (p < 0.001). The mean BMI at diagnosis was 24.1 kg/m2 in T1DM group and 26.1 kg/m2 in LADA group (p = 0.042). In T1DM group, 67.4% of the patients had more than one positive autoantibody, comparing to 41.3% of LADA patients (p = 0.012). There was no statistical difference in what concerns to title of GAD autoantibodies, A1C and C-peptide at diagnosis of autoimmune aetiology. The presence of symptoms at diagnosis was associated with T1DM group (p < 0.001). The median daily insulin dose was 40 IU for T1DM (0.58 IU/kg) and 33.5 IU for LADA (0.57 IU/kg), with no statistical difference. LADA patients were more often under non-insulin antidiabetic drugs (p = 0.001). At 10 years follow up, 21.1% of T1DM patients and 63.3% of LADA patients had microvascular complications (p = 0.004). Diabetic nephropathy was present in 23.5% of T1DM patients and 53.3% of LADA patients (p = 0.047). At the last evaluation, 55.6% of T1DM and 82.6% of LADA patients had metabolic syndrome and this difference was independent of diabetes duration. CONCLUSION Patients with classic T1DM presented more often with symptoms, lower BMI and higher number of autoantibodies, which may be related to a more aggressive autoimmune process. Patients with LADA developed more frequently microvascular complications for the same disease duration, namely diabetic nephropathy, and had more often metabolic syndrome.

Comb Chem High Throughput Screen 2019; 22:577-581. [PMID: 31595845 DOI: 10.2174/1386207322666191008214919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2019] [Revised: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is a biomarker that has been introduced recently for use in the evaluation of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to measure the ischemia modified albumin serum levels in pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during acidosis and after the patient recovered from acidosis and to compare these with the control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pediatric patients with Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with the diabetic ketoacidosis were assigned as the study group and healthy children who were admitted to the outpatient clinic and decided as healthy after clinic and laboratory evaluation were selected as the control group. IMA and adjusted IMA levels were evaluated in the blood samples from the control group and the study group when admitted first time to the intensive care unit during the acidosis period (DKA before treatment, DKA-BT), and after recovering from acidosis (DKA after treatment, DKA-AT). RESULTS A total of 24 pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis and 30 healthy control children matching age and sex were included in the current study. The albumin levels in pediatric patients with T1DM during DKA-BT were higher than the albumin levels after acidosis (4.101±0.373, 3.854±0.369 g/dL, respectively) (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference when these values were compared to the control group. Mean values of IMA and Adj-IMA were statistically higher in DKAAT compared to the control group (0.748±0.150 vs 0.591±0.099, p< 0.001; 0.708±0.125 vs 0.607±0.824, p< 0.001, respectively). IMA and adjusted IMA levels measured after recovered from acidosis were significantly higher compared to the level of IMA during DKA (0.748±0.150 vs 0.606±0.105 as absorbance unit, p<0.001; 0.708±0.125 vs 0.625±0.100, p<0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION In children with T1DM, even though acidosis recovered following the treatment in diabetic ketoacidosis, which is an oxidative stress marker, the ischemia modified albumin levels and adjusted ischemia modified albumin levels were high.
