Dendritic cells promote expansion and survival of aberrant TCR-negative intraepithelial lymphocyte lines from refractory celiac disease type II patients.

چکیده
Celiac disease (CD) patients who fail to respond to a gluten-free diet suffer from refractory celiac disease (RCD). A marked expansion of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) lacking surface TCR/CD3 expression characterizes the RCD subtype II. In up to 50% of RCDII patients these so-called aberrant IEL (a-IEL) develop into lymphoma and can disseminate into other tissues. Elevated levels of Interleukin-15 (IL-15) in the intestine of CD and RCD patients likely contribute to the expansion of a-IEL. Here, we investigated if interactions with other cells might also influence a-IEL expansion. Similar to IL-15, cells from the monocyte lineage, particularly mature dendritic cells (DCs), promoted proliferation, prevented apoptosis and induced IFNγ secretion of a-IEL derived from RCDII biopsies (RCDII cell lines), which in turn induced CXCL10. In contrast to IL-15, mature DCs did not induce proliferation of regular TCR(+)IEL lines, generated from CD biopsies and IL-15-blocking antibodies did not inhibit DC-induced proliferation of RCDII cell lines. Furthermore, proliferation was dependent on cell-cell contact, but independent of the HLA-genotype of the stimulating cells. Our results suggest that contact with DC, either in the epithelium or upon dissemination, contributes to uncontrolled expansion of a-IEL in RCDII, independent of HLA-genotype and IL-15.

Defective synthesis or association of T-cell receptor chains underlies loss of surface T-cell receptor-CD3 expression in enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma.
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, an often fatal complication of celiac disease, can result from expansion of aberrant intraepithelial lymphocytes in refractory celiac disease type II (RCD II). Aberrant intraepithelial lymphocytes and lymphoma cells are intracellularly CD3epsilon(+) but lack expression of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex on the cell surface. It is unknown what causes...
متن کاملRefractory Celiac Disease
Refractory celiac disease (RCD) is when malabsorption symptoms and villous atrophy persist despite strict adherence to a gluten free diet (GFD) for more than 12 months and other causes of villous atrophy have been ruled out. RCD is considered a rare disease and almost exclusively occurs in adults. Persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss are the most common symptoms in RCD. Also, anemi...

Cell Density Counts of the Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes in the Celiac Patients
Background: Increased number of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) is a key histological finding in the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD); however, the number of IELs in celiac patients and healthy subjects may vary from one region to another. Additionally, there are some seronegative celiac patients with a borderline histology. Objective: To determin...
متن کاملPrimary Intestinal Malignant Lymphomas Associated With Celiakia – A Pathologist ́s Review
Celiakia represents a prototype of chronic antigenic stimulation and autoimmune dysregulation leading to the accumulation of reactive cytotoxic intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) and small intestinal mucosal injury. These lymphocytes possess a potential of transformation, gaining an aberrant phenotype and genotype during their clonal expansion. The development of type I enteropathy –associated T...
