    People with Type 1 Diabetes Show Distinct Gut Inflammation and Microbiota

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    New study shows patients with T1D show specific abnormalities in gut inflammation and microbiota.

    Celiac.com 02/01/2017 - More and more evidence shows a connection between gut inflammation and type 1 diabetes (T1D). A team of researchers recently set out to assess gut inflammatory profiles and microbiota in patients with T1D, and to compare them with healthy controls (CTRL) and with celiac disease patients as gut inflammatory disease controls.

    The research team included Silvia Pellegrini, Valeria Sordi, Andrea Mario Bolla, Diego Saita Roberto Ferrarese, Filippo Canducci, Massimo Clementi, Francesca Invernizzi, Alberto Mariani, Riccardo Bonfanti, Graziano Barera, Pier Alberto Testoni, Claudio Doglioni, Emanuele Bosi, and Lorenzo Piemonti. They are affiliated with the Diabetes Research Institute at the IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, Italy.

    The team evaluated inflammatory status and microbiome composition in biopsies of the duodenal mucosa from 19 patients with T1D, 19 with celiac disease, and 16 healthy control subjects, recruited at San Raffaele Scientific Institute, in Milan, Italy, between 2009 and 2015. They assessed inflammation by gene expression study and immunohistochemistry and used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze microbiome composition.

    Compared to CTRL and celiac disease patients, the team found an increased expression of CCL13, CCL19, CCL22, CCR2, COX2, IL4R, CD68, PTX3, TNFα and VEGFA genes in T1D patients. The immunohistochemical analysis confirmed T1D specific inflammatory status was mainly marked by increased monocyte/macrophage lineage infiltration, compared to healthy and celiac disease control tissues.

    The T1D duodenal mucosal microbiome also proved to be different from the control groups. This was mainly marked by increased Firmicutes, and Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and a reduction in Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes.

    The expression of genes specific for T1D inflammation was associated with the excess of specific bacteria in duodenum. This study shows that patients with T1D show specific abnormalities in gut inflammation and microbiota.

    Greater knowledge of the complex pathogenesis of T1D will likely provide new directions for therapies targeting the gut. Look for more studies in this area in the near future, as scientists look to nail down specific treatments to prevent gut inflammation.

    Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes are entirely two different diseases. Type 1 diabetes is too little insulin and Type 2 diabetes is too much insulin. But since the treatment is the same, your favorite idiotic medical profession calls them the same disease subtitled 1 and 2. But since the cause is entirely different, how much sense does it make to call them the same thing? But the Medical Deities are driven and wrangled by the pharmaceutical companies, not what is best for the patient. So the two diseases get the same name, only typed differently.

    It's great that they are studying the digestive effects of diabetes and celiac disease. I would have a little more respect for the study if they had included type 2 diabetics and linked glycemic control (as monitored by bg logs -difficult or A1c- easy). Sugar feeds bacteria and changing the amount of sugar in a culture can change the bacterial mix and therefore the level of inflammation. I know that when my body burnt out my beta cells (type 1 diabetes) I found it much easier to develop gas.

    Celiac.com 02/10/2015 - A number of studies have shown a connection between celiac autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Doctors recommend celiac screening for T1DM patients, but screening is not always conducted.
    Meanwhile, reports about the impact of celiac autoimmunity in T1DM have been varied. A team of researchers recently set out to determine rates of celiac autoimmunity in patients with T1DM, and to study the impact of celiac autoimmunity on nutritional parameters, glycaemic control, endocrine axes and bone health.
    The research team included A.S. Joshi, P.K. Varthakavi, N.M. Bhagwat, M.D. Chadha, AND S.S. Mittal. They are variously associated with the Department of Endocrinology of Topiwala National Medical College and BYL Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai Central...

    Celiac.com 04/18/2016 - Some studies have shown dietary gluten has been proven to play a role in both celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D), and others have suggested as much, but stopped short of actual proof.
    A team of researchers recently set out to assess the role of gluten in celiac disease and Type 1 diabetes. The research team included G Serena, S Camhi, C Sturgeon, S Yan S, and A Fasano. They are variously affiliated with the Graduate Program in Life Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland and with the Center for Celiac Research, Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston.

    Celiac.com 07/13/2016 - A really interesting study about gluten-free diets in mice just popped up over at the medical journal Diabetes, that has implications for both diabetes and celiac disease.
    The study found that a maternal gluten-free diet reduces inflammation and diabetes rates in the offspring of non-obese diabetic mice.
    The study was conducted by a research team that included Camilla H.F. Hansen, Åukasz Krych, Karsten Buschard, Stine B. Metzdorff, Christine Nellemann, Lars H. Hansen, Dennis S. Nielsen, Hanne Frøkiær, Søren Skov, and Axel K. Hansen. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Veterinary Disease Biology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Denmark, the Department of Food Science, Faculty of Science, University of ...
