    Zonulin as a Biomarker for the Development of Celiac Disease

    Objectives: Increased intestinal permeability seems to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease (CeD). However, it is unknown whether increased permeability precedes CeD onset. This study's objective was to determine whether intestinal permeability is altered before celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA) in at-risk children. We also examined whether environmental factors impacted zonulin, a widely used marker of gut permeability. Methods: We evaluated 102 children in the CDGEMM study from 2014-2022. We included 51 CDA cases and matched controls, who were enrolled for 12 months or more and consumed gluten. We measured serum zonulin from age 12 months to time of CDA onset, and the corresponding time point in controls, and examined clinical factors of interest. We ran a mixed-effects longitudinal model with dependent variable zonulin. Results: Children who developed CDA had a significant increase in zonulin in the 18.3 months (range 6-78) preceding CDA compared to those without CDA (slope differential = β = 0.1277, 95% CI: 0.001, 0.255). Among metadata considered, zonulin trajectory was only influenced by increasing number of antibiotic courses, which increased the slope of trajectory of zonulin over time in CDA subjects (P = .04). Conclusions: Zonulin levels significantly rise in the months that precede CDA diagnosis. Exposure to a greater number of antibiotic courses was associated with an increase in zonulin levels in CDA subjects. This suggests zonulin may be used as a biomarker for preclinical CeD screening in at-risk children, and multiple antibiotic courses may increase their risk of CDA by increasing zonulin levels

    The Celiac Disease Genomic, Environmental, Microbiome and Metabolomic (CDGEMM) study is an international prospective birth cohort in children at-risk of developing celiac disease (CD). The CDGEMM study has been designed to take a multi-omic approach to predicting CD onset in at-risk individuals. Participants are required to have a first-degree family member with biopsy diagnosed CD and must be enrolled prior to the introduction of solid food. Participation involves providing blood and stool samples longitudinally over a period of five years as well as answering questionnaires related to the participant, their family, and environment. Recruitment and data collection have been ongoing since 2014. As of 2022 we have a total of 554 participants and the average age of the cohort is 56.4 months. A total of 54 participants have developed positive antibodies for CD and 31 have confirmed CD. Approximately 80% of the 54 participants with CD have developed it by 3 years of age. To date we have identified several microbial strains, pathways, and metabolites occurring in increased abundance and detected before CD onset, which have previously been linked to autoimmune and inflammatory conditions while others occurred in decreased abundance before CD onset and are known to have anti-inflammatory effects. Our ongoing analysis includes expanding our metagenomic and metabolomic analyses, evaluating environmental risk factors linked to CD onset, and mechanistic studies investigating how alterations in the microbiome and metabolites may protect against or contribute to CD development

    Early Antibody Dynamics in a Prospective Cohort of Children At Risk of Celiac Disease

    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to identify possible serum biomarkers predicting celiac disease (CD) onset in children at risk. Methods: A subgroup from an ongoing, international prospective study of children at risk of CD was classified according to an early trajectory of deamidated gliadin peptides (DGPs) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and clinical outcomes (CD, potential CD, and CD autoimmunity). Results: Thirty-eight of 325 children developed anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody (anti-tTG IgA) seroconversion. Twenty-eight of 38 children (73.6%) showed an increase in anti-DGPs IgG before their first anti-tTG IgA seroconversion. Discussion: Anti-DGPs IgG can represent an early preclinical biomarker predicting CD onset in children at risk
