We have previously shown the ability of transamidated gluten (spf) to modulate both innate and adaptive intestinal immunity elicited by wheat gliadin in HLA-DQ8 transgenic mice (DQ8 mice), a model of gluten sensitivity. Herein, we evaluated the influence of spf when administered intragastrically on the immune response to native gliadin in DQ8 mice. To address the issue, we analysed three regimens of antigen administration: before immunisation (pre-treatment), during immunisation (co-treatment) and through breast milk during the lactating phase (suckling treatment). Mice were immunised mucosally by intranasal delivery of digested wheat gliadin along with cholera toxin in multiple doses. After sacrifice, isolated spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cells were challenged in vitro and the cytokine profile of culture supernatants assessed by ELISA and multiparametric assay. We found that only pre-treatment with spf was effective in down-regulating the gliadin-specific IFN-γ response and only in spleen cells. Interestingly, spf pre-treatment also induced systemic IL-6, IL-17A and TNF-α. By contrast, we found that spf pre-treatment upregulated INF-γ in MLN but also significantly decreased IL-2. In conclusion, our data provide evidence that the preventive intragastric administration of transamidated gluten is able to interfere with the classical cytokine profile induced by gliadin via mucosal immunisation in a transgenic model expressing one of the HLA molecules associated with coeliac disease.
