Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of celiac disease in at-risk and not-at-risk groups in the United States: A large multicenter study
Alessio Fasano,Irene Berti,Tania Gerarduzzi,Tarcisio Not,Richard B. Colletti,Sandro Drago,Yoram Elitsur,Peter H.R. Green,Stefano Guandalini,Ivor D. Hill,Michelle Pietzak,Alessandro Ventura,Mary Thorpe,Debbie Kryszak,Fabiola Fornaroli,Steven S. Wasserman,Joseph A. Murray,Karoly Horvath +17 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that CD occurs frequently not only in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, but also in first- and second-degree relatives and patients with numerous common disorders even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zonulin, a newly discovered modulator of intestinal permeability, and its expression in coeliac disease
Alessio Fasano,Tarcisio Not,Wenle Wang,Sergio Uzzau,Irene Berti,Alberto Tommasini,Simeon E. Goldblum +6 more
TL;DR: Zonulin is identified, a novel human protein analogue to the Vibrio cholerae derived Zonula occludens toxin, which induces tight junction disassembly and a subsequent increase in intestinal permeability in non-human primate intestinal epithelia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific oral tolerance induction in children with very severe cow's milk–induced reactions
Giorgio Longo,Egidio Barbi,Irene Berti,Rosanna Meneghetti,Angela Pittalis,Luca Ronfani,Alessandro Ventura +6 more
TL;DR: In this study SOTI was effective in a significant percentage of cases and the result of the double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge performed after a year was positive in all 30 cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the intestinal tight junction modulator zonulin in the pathogenesis of type I diabetes in BB diabetic-prone rats
Tammara L. Watts,Irene Berti,Anna Sapone,Tania Gerarduzzi,Tarcisio Not,Ronald H. Zielke,Alessio Fasano +6 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the zonulin-induced loss in small intestinal barrier function is involved in the pathogenesis of T1D in the BB diabetic-prone animal model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-dependent zonulin secretion causes the impairment of the small intestine barrier function after bacterial exposure
Rahzi El Asmar,Pinaki Panigrahi,Penelope Bamford,Irene Berti,Tarcisio Not,Giovanni V. Coppa,Carlo Catassi,Alessio Fasano +7 more
TL;DR: This zonulin-driven opening of the paracellular pathway may represent a defensive mechanism, which flushes out microorganisms and contributes to the host response against bacterial colonization of the small intestine.
