This study provides a new insight into pathogenic features of gliadin fragments by demonstrating their ability to promote DC migration, which is a prerequisite for efficient priming of naive T cells, contributing to celiac disease pathology. In genetically predisposed individuals, ingestion of wheat gliadin provokes a T-cell-mediated enteropathy, celiac disease. Gliadin fragments were previously reported to induce phenotypic maturation and Th1 cytokine production by human dendritic cells (DCs) and to boost their capacity to stimulate allogeneic T cells. Here, we monitor the effects of gliadin on migratory capacities of DCs. Using transwell assays, we show that gliadin peptic digest stimulates migration of human DCs and their chemotactic responsiveness to the lymph node-homing chemokines CCL19 and CCL21
