Profiling of peripheral blood B-cell transcriptome in children who developed coeliac disease in a prospective studyResearch in context

Background: In coeliac disease (CoD), the role of B-cells has mainly been considered to be production of antibodies. The functional role of B-cells has not been analysed extensively in CoD. Methods: We conducted a study to characterize gene expression in B-cells from children developing CoD early in...

description Background: In coeliac disease (CoD), the role of B-cells has mainly been considered to be production of antibodies. The functional role of B-cells has not been analysed extensively in CoD. Methods: We conducted a study to characterize gene expression in B-cells from children developing CoD early in life using samples collected before and at the diagnosis of the disease. Blood samples were collected from children at risk at 12, 18, 24 and 36 months of age. RNA from peripheral blood CD19+ cells was sequenced and differential gene expression was analysed using R package Limma. Findings: Overall, we found one gene, HNRNPL, modestly downregulated in all patients (logFC −0·7; q = 0·09), and several others downregulated in those diagnosed with CoD already by the age of 2 years. Interpretation: The data highlight the role of B-cells in CoD development. The role of HNRPL in suppressing enteroviral replication suggests that the predisposing factor for both CoD and enteroviral infections is the low level of HNRNPL expression.
