Role of interferon alpha in promoting T helper cell type 1 responses in the small intestine in coeliac disease

Abstract: Coeliac disease (CD) is caused by a CD4 T helper cell type 1 (Th1) response in the small intestinal mucosa to dietary gluten. As the major Th1 inducing cytokine, interleukin 12, is undetectable in CD gut mucosa, the mechanism by which Th1 eVector cells are generated remains unknown. Interferon (IFN) , a cytokine capable of promoting IFN-synthesis, has been implicated in the development of Th1 mediated immune diseases. Here we report a case of CD-like enteropathy in a patient receiving IFN-for chronic myeloid l… Show more

“…Celiac disease is associated with a predominantly Th1 or Th0 type of cytokine response in established disease (44). The cytokine profile in these mice resembles that of a regulatory phenotype and thus differs from that seen in established celiac disease.…”

“…26,27 However, these animals showed a specific up-regulation of IFN-1, similar to that observed in IBS-like states. 28,29 Colonic motor changes after long term exposure to oral OVA are related to an excited-activated state of MMCs. 21 Moreover,…”

“…Cette hypothèse rendrait compte à la fois de l'inflammation intestinale et de la fréquence des maladies auto-immunes associées. La perturbation des fonctions de ces lymphocytes T pourrait être détermi-née génétiquement ou être provoquée par des facteurs environnementaux, tels que l'interféron α produit au cours d'infections virales [13]. En induisant la maturation des cellules présentatrices d'antigène et la production d'interféron γ et d'IL-15, celui-ci pourrait favoriser l'apparition de cellules effectrices Th1 aux dépens de la population modulatrice [59,60].…”
