Celiac disease is caused by an abnormal intestinal T cell response to cereal gluten proteins. The disease has a strong human leukocyte antigen (HLA) association, and CD4 T cells recognizing gluten epitopes presented by disease-associated HLA-DQ allotypes are considered to be drivers of the disease. This paper provides an update of the currently known HLA-DQ restricted gluten T cell epitopes with their names and sequences.

This study provides a comprehensive proteomic and metabolomic analysis of novel anthocyanin- and carotenoid-rich wheat varieties to assess their immunogenicity in the context of Celiac Disease. Using (semi)-quantitative mass spectrometry, the research found that gliadin expression and peptide release, particularly those containing immunostimulatory γ-gliadin epitopes, vary significantly across different wheat varieties. While non-targeted mass spectrometry provided valuable insights, the study acknowledged potential methodological biases, such limitations of ion current intensity as a measure of peptide abundance.

Commercial Brazilian wheat flour was subjected to extrusion, oven, and microwave treatments. The solubility, monomeric and polymeric proteins, and the glutenin and gliadin profiles of the gluten were analyzed. In addition, in vitro digestibility and response against potential celiac disease immune-stimulatory epitopes were investigated.

The byproduct from wheat starch production contains approximately 70% gluten (WG) and is an inexpensive but demanding protein raw material for the food industry. This study attempted to determine the optimal hydrolysis conditions for such raw material to obtain peptides combining beneficial functional characteristics with health-promoting activity. The proteases Bromelain, Alcalase, Flavourzyme, and a protease from were used for hydrolysis.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease characterized by disruptions of the small intestine. Factors such as viral and bacterial infections can trigger CD. Recently, the reactivation of Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) has also been implicated, but little is known about their specific role in patients with celiac disease.

High-sensitivity 4D label-free proteomic technology was used to identify protein components related to gluten quality and celiac disease (CD) in strong-gluten wheat cultivar KX 3302 and medium-gluten wheat cultivar BN 207. The highly expressed storage protein components in KX3302 were high-molecular-weight-glutenin-subunits (HMW-GSs), α-gliadin, and globulin, whereas those in BN207 were γ-gliadin, low-molecular-weight-glutenin-subunits (LMW-GSs) and avenin-like proteins. In addition, BN207 had more upregulated metabolic proteins than KX3302.
