Mutagenesis of the catalytic triad of tissue transglutaminase abrogates coeliac disease serum IgA autoantibody binding.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is an autoantigen in coeliac disease and the related disorder, dermatitis herpetiformis. The detection of autoantibodies directed against tTG is a highly specific marker of coeliac disease; however, it is unclear if there is a role for these autoantibodies in the disease process. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the catalytic tri...
متن کاملDermatitis Herpetiformis: From the Genetics to the Development of Skin Lesions
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a rare autoimmune disease linked to gluten sensitivity with a chronic-relapsing course. It is currently considered to be the specific cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease (CD). Both conditions are mediated by the IgA class of autoantibodies, and the diagnosis of DH is dependent on the detection of granular deposits of IgA in the skin. There is an underlying...
متن کاملDermatitis herpetiformis, the celiac disease of the skin!
Gluten-related diseases were recently classified into three groups according to their physiopathological mechanisms: autoimmunity (celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, gluten ataxia), allergy (wheat allergyrespiratory, alimentary, contact urticary and WDEIA) and no-autoimmune no-allergic (gluten sensitivity)(30). Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune blistering cutaneous disease t...
متن کاملThe diagnosis and treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an inflammatory cutaneous disease with a chronic relapsing course, pruritic polymorphic lesions, and typical histopathological and immunopathological findings. According to several evidences, DH is considered the specific cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease, and the most recent guidelines of celiac disease have stated that, in celiac patients with a proven...
متن کاملEpidermal Transglutaminase (TGase 3) Is the Autoantigen of Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Gluten sensitivity typically presents as celiac disease, a common chronic small intestinal disorder. However, in certain individuals it is associated with dermatitis herpetiformis, a blistering skin disease characterized by granular IgA deposits in the papillary dermis. While tissue transglutaminase has been implicated as the major autoantigen of gluten sensitive disease, there has been no expl...
