Protein engineering of improved prolyl endopeptidases for celiac sprue therapy.
Due to their unique ability to cleave immunotoxic gluten peptides endoproteolytically, prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) are attractive oral therapeutic candidates for protecting celiac sprue patients from the toxic effects of dietary gluten. Enhancing the activity and stability of PEPs under gastric conditions (low pH, high pepsin concentration) is a challenge for protein engineers. Using a combina...
متن کاملIron-deficiency anemia due to silent celiac sprue.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2002;15:16–17 Celiac sprue, a gluten-induced enteropathy, was once considered primarily an immunologic disease of infants and children. Gluten is a protein found in grains, primarily wheat and barley. The ingestion of gliadin, a component of gluten, causes gastrointestinal symptoms including malabsorption and multiple nutritional deficiencies. Our understanding of this disorder...
متن کاملStructural basis for gluten intolerance in celiac sprue.
Celiac Sprue, a widely prevalent autoimmune disease of the small intestine, is induced in genetically susceptible individuals by exposure to dietary gluten. A 33-mer peptide was identified that has several characteristics suggesting it is the primary initiator of the inflammatory response to gluten in Celiac Sprue patients. In vitro and in vivo studies in rats and humans demonstrated that it is...
متن کاملParallels between Pathogens and Gluten Peptides in Celiac Sprue
Pathogens are exogenous agents capable of causing disease in susceptible organisms. In celiac sprue, a disease triggered by partially hydrolyzed gluten peptides in the small intestine, the offending immunotoxins cannot replicate, but otherwise have many hallmarks of classical pathogens. First, dietary gluten and its peptide metabolites are ubiquitous components of the modern diet, yet only a sm...
متن کاملAmerican Gastroenterological Association medical position statement: Celiac Sprue.
Celiac sprue is a life-long inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract that affects the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. The prevalence in Northern Europe is approximately 1:300, whereas in the United States it occurs less frequently. A small intestinal biopsy is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment involves a strict gluten-free diet that excludes wheat...
