Gut Microbiota in Celiac Disease: Microbes, Metabolites, Pathways and Therapeutics.

Gut Microbiota in Celiac Disease: Microbes, Metabolites, Pathways and Therapeutics. Expert Rev Clin Immunol. 2020 Oct 26;: Authors: Olshan KL, Leonard MM, Serena G, Zomorrodi AR, Fasano A Abstract INTRODUCTION: Current evidence supports a vital role of the microbiota on human health outcomes, with alterations in an otherwise healthy balance linked to chronic medical conditions such as celiac disease (CD). Recent advances in microbiome analysis allow for unparalleled profiling of the microbes and metabolites. With the growing volume of data available, trends are emerging that support a role for the gut microbiota in CD pathogenesis. AREAS COVERED: In this article, the authors review the relationship between factors such as genes and antibiotic exposure on CD onset and the intestinal microbiota. The authors also review other microbiota within the human body (such as the oral microbiota) that may play a role in CD pathogenesis. Finally, the authors discuss implications for disease modification and the ultimate goal of prevention. The authors reviewed literature from PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science. EXPERT OPINION: CD serves as a unique opportunity to explore the role of the intestinal microbiota on the development of chronic autoimmune disease. While research to date provides a solid foundation, most studies have been case-control and thus do not have capacity to explore the mechanistic role of the microbiota in CD on...
