Colonic Involvement in Celiac Disease and Possible Implications of the Sigmoid Mucosa Organ Culture in its Diagnosis

Abstract: Data confirm that the gluten-dependent immunological activation affects more intestinal tracts with different degrees of involvement, suggesting that the organ culture of colonic biopsies could represent a new tool to opportunistically detect CD.

“…CD diagnosis frequently occurs in individuals with a familial history of the condition or other autoimmune disorders. Typically, the diagnostic process involves a combination of serological testing, genetic testing, and small intestine biopsy [ 4 ]. Genetically, most patients with CD express HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 haplotypes, although these are also found in approximately 30–40% of the general population [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…Positive serological IgA and IgG anti-endomysium (EMA), anti-transglutaminase (anti-Ttg), and anti-deamidated gliadin peptide (AGA DGP) antibody results can support the diagnosis of CD (2). Recent literature has also shown the precious role of duodenal biopsy organ culture system when villous height/crypt depth ratio, intraepithelial lymphocyte count, or serum antibody tests are not clearly diagnostic: EMA-and anti-tTGpositive results in culture biopsy supernatants of the second part of the duodenum may be helpful in making a CD diagnosis (3)(4)(5). CD recedes after a gluten-free diet is started.…”
