A Peptide from Kiwifruit Exerts Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Celiac Disease Mucosa.
Journal of the American College of Nutrition 2019 Februrary 23
OBJECTIVE: Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disease of the intestine triggered by gluten. Gluten elicits, in genetically susceptible individuals, cytokine responses that are then transmitted to the immunocompetent cells. Vegetables and fruit have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties with a protective effect on intestinal epithelium. Kiwifruit is known to have beneficial effects on the intestinal tissues, and it is the only plant food containing the peptide kissper, with anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the kissper effect on the gluten-induced inflammation in celiac disease.
METHODS: We used an in vitro model of intestinal culture explant from celiac disease patients and non-celiac disease patients, cultured for 24 hours with the toxic gliadin peptide P31-43 and kissper preincubation.
RESULTS: Our data showed HLA-DR and TG2 reduction in the celiac disease mucosa pretreated with kissper, as well as a reduction of COX-2 in two patients. No differences we observed for the TGF-b1 and IL-15 levels in supernatants upon kissper pretreatment.
CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary results suggest that kissper has a potential anti-inflammatory role in celiac disease.
