CD has a coincidence with diabetes mellitus, particularly type 1 diabetes, due to shared genetic risk factors and autoimmune mechanisms. Aim This study aims to test the levels of IFN-γ and IL-1β in diabetic and non-diabetic Celiac patients, and to explore the relationship between these cytokines and disease activity. Methods Eighty children with CD (diabetic and non-diabetic) were enrolled in this study. Serum levels of anti- tissue transglutaminase IgG (IgG-tTG) and IgA (IgA-tGA), IFN-γ and IL-1β were measured using ELISA, and statistical analysis was performed to compare the levels of these cytokines between the two groups. Results The results revealed significantly higher levels of IFN-γ and IL-1β in diabetic celiac patients compared to non-diabetic ones. Females showed higher levels of these cytokines compared to males. Of note, a positive correlation was found between IL-1β and IFN-γ in diabetic celiac patients. Conclusion The study highlights the importance of inflammatory cytokines like IFN-γ and IL-1β in the pathogenesis and development of symptoms in CD, particularly in the context of comorbidities like diabetes mellitus. Understanding the inflammatory profile of CD in different metabolic contexts may support the management. Immunology Autoimmune diseases celiac disease comorbidity diabetes mellitus inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ IL-1β Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Introduction Coeliac disease (CD) is a chronic small intestinal immune-mediated enteropathy precipitated by exposure to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals (Ludvigsson JF et al 2013 ). This immune response leads to inflammation and damage in the small intestine, resulting in malabsorption of essential nutrients (Hill ID et al 2016 ). The first consensus definition of CD was published in Acta Paediatrica in 1970. This publication defined CD as a permanent condition of gluten intolerance with mucosal flattening that (a) reversed on a gluten-free diet (GFD) and (b) then relapsed on re-introduction of gluten. Although the definition of CD has undergone minor changes since 1970, consensus definitions have been restricted to CD. However, the scientific community has come to recognize that there is a spectrum of disorders related to gluten ingestion (Ludvigsson JF et al 2013 ). There has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of CD over the last 50 years and many patients remain undiagnosed. Diagnostic testing, including serology and biopsy, should be performed on a gluten-containing diet. The diagnosis of CD is based on a combination of clinical, serological and histopathological data. The treatment for CD is primarily a gluten-free diet (GFD), which requires significant patient education, motivation and follow-up. (Al-Toma A et al 2019 ) Interplay between Diabetes type 1 (T1D) and CD: Although numerous studies have suggested a potentially pathogenic role of gluten in T1D, the exact mechanisms by which it may play a role in the onset and development of T1D are not yet fully understood. Studies in human samples have reported that upon stimulation with wheat proteins or their components, patients with T1D showed a heightened proliferative T cell response as compared to control patients. PBMC from these patients produced significantly more pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to control subjects. Similarly, Klemetti et al. found that PBMC from T1D patients proliferated more as compared to controls when stimulated with wheat proteins. (Serena, G et al 2015 ) Due to the insidious autoimmune background, patients with T1DM are at an increased risk of developing other autoimmune disorders (ADs), and one of the most relevant is CD. CD has a worldwide frequency of 1%, and it rises at approximately 5% in T1DM patients, which makes it one of the most frequent ADs occurring in T1DM (Flores Monar GV et al 2022 ) Nilsen EM et al studied the antigen induced production of cytokines from gluten specific T cell clones (TCC) in coeliac intestinal lesions, in addition to exploring their HLA-restriction patterns. All TCC were found to secrete interferon (IFN) gamma; some secreted in addition interleukin (IL) 4, IL 5, IL 6, IL 10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and transforming growth factor (TGF) beta. They concluded that most DQ8 restricted TCC seemed to fit with a Th0 profile whereas the DQ2 restricted TCC secreted cytokines more compatible with a Th1 pattern (Nilsen EM et al 1995 ). In active CD, activated T cells in the small intestinal mucosa produce the Th1 cytokine interferon (IFN)– gamma. A role for cytokines in mediating mucosal damage has also been proposed for interleukin (IL)–1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–, as these cytokines have been shown to increase the expression of certain metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) with consequent degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (Manavalan JS et al 2010 ) Aim: The complicated interplay between CD and diabetes makes it essential to investigate the inflammatory profile of CD in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Hence, this study aims to test the levels of IFN-γ and IL-1β in diabetic and non-diabetic Celiac patients, and to explore the relationship between these cytokines and disease activity. Materials and Methods Among the 365 children examined in the Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes Baghdad / Rusafa for anti- tissue transglutaminase IgG (IgG-tTG) and IgA (IgA-tGA) antibodies using ELISA method, only 80 children (males and females) show positive results for these antibodies and labelled as celiac patients. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: children with celiac, diabetics and non-diabetics, with no obvious other diseases and no current medications Their age range was 3–15 years. The study was conducted during the period extended from July 2024 to September 2024. Recorded investigations confirmed that some of them have diabetes mellitus (DM) while others have no. Further investigations were done to measure the serum levels of specific cytokines, namely INF-γ and IL-1β to explore the inflammatory status of these patients. The ELISA was also used for this measurement. Results were tabulated and interpreted. Statistical analysis: The ANOVA test was used to analyze repeated measures between tested groups. Data expressed as mean ± SD and other descriptive statistics. For the descriptive analysis subjected to Chi-square test, values of p > 0.05 were considered statically non-significant while p ≤ 0.05 were considered significantly different. Estimate of correlation coefficient between difference parameters in this study was done. The statistical analysis was carried out by SPSS (v 20). Results Table 1 shows the distribution of the celiac patients according to gender and presence/absence of diabetes with no significant difference concerning these factors Table 1 Gender distribution of Diabetic and Non-Diabetic celiac patients enrolled in the study Gender distributions Diabetic patient (DP) N(%) Non-Diabetic patient (NDP) N(%) Male 17(42.5) 20(50) Female 23(57.5) 20(50) The chi-square statistic is 0.4525.

Table 8 : Correlation among parameters of the Non-Diabetic celiac patients enrolled in the study Discussion Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory intestinal disorder. Different immunological factors, including inflammatory cytokines, may play an important role in disease susceptibility. (Barartabar Z et al 2018 ( The prevalence of celiac disease has increased in the last decades, suggesting a role for environmental factors in addition to gluten. (Caminero A et al 2019) The manifestations may vary from overt enteropathy to extraintestinal forms, and the symptoms may even be silent (Dahlbom I et al 2005 ) In this study, the levels of Anti- tissue transglutaminase IgG (IgG-tTG) were higher in diabetic female celiac patients as compared to non-diabetic ones. Male patients also demonstrated significant difference in the same picture. When we contrast diabetic female with diabetic males, IgG-tTG shows significantly higher levels in the former, with similar difference among female and male non-diabetic celiac patients. In the case of Anti- tissue transglutaminase IgA (IgA-tTG) diabetic female celiac patients exhibited significantly higher levels of these antibodies when compared to non-diabetic patients. Unlikely, there was no significant difference among male (diabetic and non-diabetic) celiac patients. However, diabetic females significantly differ from diabetic males regarding those levels, but the difference among non-diabetic females and males was not significant These results can be set as an agreement with some records like Kaur N et al. They found that assay format detecting IgA + IgG helped in the detection of potential CD in asymptomatic T1D patients (Kaur N et al 2019 ) Besides, Lewandowska K reported that tests based on anti-TG IgA are more accurate for detecting CD in children with type 1 diabetes than anti- deamidated gliadin peptide (anti-DGP) IgA (Lewandowska K et al) The higher levels of Anti- tissue transglutaminase in diabetic celiac patients may be attributed to the high rate of comorbidities between celiac and diabetes (especially type 1DM). The association between CD and T1D was first reported in the late 1960s. The prevalence of CD in patients with T1D is estimated to fall between 1.4% and 19.7%. This comorbidity can largely be attributed to overlapping genetic HLA risk loci; in both conditions, the HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 genes have been shown to be important determinants of disease susceptibility (Serena, G et al 2015 ). As Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) levels, an important inflammatory indicator, are explored in this study, we noticed significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic groups in female celiac patients; with clear higher levels of IFN-γ among diabetic female patients, and a similar significance was revealed among male patients. A comparison between diabetic females and males declared significantly higher levels in the former. With no significant difference among non-diabetic females and males resulted. Another important inflammatory indicator, interleukin-1 Bata (IL1β), was investigated among the study groups. We can say that the statistical significance here is almost similar to that seen in IFN-γ case There is evidence that cytokines, in particular interleukin-1 beta (IL1β) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) might mediate beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes. (Ciampolillo A et al 1993 ) It is well known that there is a harmony effect of inflammatory process in various autoimmune diseases. CD arises in genetically susceptible individuals with HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 alleles and is characterized by a T-cell-driven inflammation in the proximal small bowel triggered by gluten ingestion. Gluten is delivered to TCD4 + cell and activates them causing the secretion of different pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines such as interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and others. After this event, TCD4 + cell interaction with B cells leads to the release of autoantibodies such as anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and DGA (Deamidated gliadin antibody) which is a marker for active disease. The IL-1 family consists of 11 cytokines and has been also expanded to 9 distinct genes that have emerged as a therapeutic mark for auto-inflammatory diseases such as CD. IL-1α and IL-1β have highly inflammatory effects, and have been evaluated in various studies. Some studies recorded elevated serum IL-1 and IL-1β which was associated with increased CD and its symptoms (Nasserinejad M et al 2019 ), making it consistent with our results. Hence, the role of IFN-γ and IL1β in diabetic celiac patients becomes clear if this study’s results are considered. To test the correlation among the studied parameters in diabetic celiac patients, a highly significant positive statistical correlation between IgA-tTG and IgG-tTG Antibodies was found, as well as that between IL1β and IFN-γ This means that as one of the correlated parameters increases, the corresponding one increases and vice versa. Given those finding, more confirmation is achieved regarding the profound inflammatory process encountered in such autoimmune diseases. On the contrary, in non- diabetic celiac patients a negative statistical correlation between IgA-tTG and IL1β resulted. This refers to an inverse relation between them in such patients. In general, the widely accepted concept of higher incidence of autoimmune diseases in females as compared to males can explain the significantly higher results in females in this study Conclusion Inflammatory cytokines like IFN-γ and IL1β are important factors in both pathogenesis and development of symptoms in celiac diseases, and this may vary clearly when comorbidities are accompanying celiac; as diabetes mellitus. A comprehensive interpretation of the inflammatory profile of CD in different metabolic contexts may support the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the management of CD and related disorders.

This immune response leads to inflammation and damage in the small intestine, resulting in malabsorption of essential nutrients (Hill ID et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2016\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first consensus definition of CD was published in \u003cem\u003eActa Paediatrica\u003c/em\u003e in 1970. This publication defined CD as a permanent condition of gluten intolerance with mucosal flattening that (a) reversed on a gluten-free diet (GFD) and (b) then relapsed on re-introduction of gluten. Although the definition of CD has undergone minor changes since 1970, consensus definitions have been restricted to CD. However, the scientific community has come to recognize that there is a spectrum of disorders related to gluten ingestion (Ludvigsson JF et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2013\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of CD over the last 50 years and many patients remain undiagnosed. Diagnostic testing, including serology and biopsy, should be performed on a gluten-containing diet. The diagnosis of CD is based on a combination of clinical, serological and histopathological data. The treatment for CD is primarily a gluten-free diet (GFD), which requires significant patient education, motivation and follow-up. (Al-Toma A et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterplay between Diabetes type 1 (T1D) and CD:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough numerous studies have suggested a potentially pathogenic role of gluten in T1D, the exact mechanisms by which it may play a role in the onset and development of T1D are not yet fully understood. Studies in human samples have reported that upon stimulation with wheat proteins or their components, patients with T1D showed a heightened proliferative T cell response as compared to control patients. PBMC from these patients produced significantly more pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to control subjects. Similarly, Klemetti et al. found that PBMC from T1D patients proliferated more as compared to controls when stimulated with wheat proteins. (Serena, G et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2015\u003c/span\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDue to the insidious autoimmune background, patients with T1DM are at an increased risk of developing other autoimmune disorders (ADs), and one of the most relevant is CD. CD has a worldwide frequency of 1%, and it rises at approximately 5% in T1DM patients, which makes it one of the most frequent ADs occurring in T1DM (Flores Monar GV et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNilsen EM et al studied the antigen induced production of cytokines from gluten specific T cell clones (TCC) in coeliac intestinal lesions, in addition to exploring their HLA-restriction patterns. All TCC were found to secrete interferon (IFN) gamma; some secreted in addition interleukin (IL) 4, IL 5, IL 6, IL 10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and transforming growth factor (TGF) beta. They concluded that most DQ8 restricted TCC seemed to fit with a Th0 profile whereas the DQ2 restricted TCC secreted cytokines more compatible with a Th1 pattern (Nilsen EM et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1995\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn active CD, activated T cells in the small intestinal mucosa produce the Th1 cytokine interferon (IFN)\u0026ndash; gamma. A role for cytokines in mediating mucosal damage has also been proposed for interleukin (IL)\u0026ndash;1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)\u0026ndash;, as these cytokines have been shown to increase the expression of certain metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) with consequent degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (Manavalan JS et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2010\u003c/span\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAim: The complicated interplay between CD and diabetes makes it essential to investigate the inflammatory profile of CD in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Gluten is delivered to TCD4\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;cell and activates them causing the secretion of different pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines such as interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and others.

Some studies recorded elevated serum IL-1 and IL-1β which was associated with increased CD and its symptoms (Nasserinejad M et al \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e), making it consistent with our results.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHence, the role of IFN-γ and IL1β in diabetic celiac patients becomes clear if this study\u0026rsquo;s results are considered.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo test the correlation among the studied parameters in diabetic celiac patients, a highly significant positive statistical correlation between IgA-tTG and IgG-tTG Antibodies was found, as well as that between IL1β and IFN-γ\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis means that as one of the correlated parameters increases, the corresponding one increases and vice versa.

CD has a coincidence with diabetes mellitus, particularly type 1 diabetes, due to shared genetic risk factors and autoimmune mechanisms.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAim\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study aims to test the levels of IFN-γ and IL-1β in diabetic and non-diabetic Celiac patients, and to explore the relationship between these cytokines and disease activity.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eEighty children with CD (diabetic and non-diabetic) were enrolled in this study. Serum levels of anti- tissue transglutaminase IgG (IgG-tTG) and IgA (IgA-tGA), IFN-γ and IL-1β were measured using ELISA, and statistical analysis was performed to compare the levels of these cytokines between the two groups.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe results revealed significantly higher levels of IFN-γ and IL-1β in diabetic celiac patients compared to non-diabetic ones. Females showed higher levels of these cytokines compared to males. Of note, a positive correlation was found between IL-1β and IFN-γ in diabetic celiac patients.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusion\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe study highlights the importance of inflammatory cytokines like IFN-γ and IL-1β in the pathogenesis and development of symptoms in CD, particularly in the context of comorbidities like diabetes mellitus.
