T cells expressing the gamma delta heterodimer of the T cell receptor (TCR) were studied with respect to their occurrence and expression of gamma delta TCR variable region (V) genes in the normal gastrointestinal mucosa and in a variety of inflammatory conditions. In controls, gamma delta TCR+ cells were a minority population confined to the epithelial compartment of stomach, small bowel and colonic mucosae. Unlike in the periphery, gastro-intestinal gamma delta TCR+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) were mainly V delta 1+ (89.98 +/- 17.70%); few were V delta 2+ (6.04 +/- 13.8%) or V gamma 9+ (11.38 +/- 10.73%). All gamma delta TCR+ IEL were CD5low; nearly half were CD8+ and the remainder were CD4-CD8- 'double negatives'. There was no significant change from normal in percentages of gamma delta TCR+ IEL in H. pylori-associated gastritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, in coeliac disease, gamma delta TCR+ IEL were elevated from 2.54% (+/- 1.71) in controls to 29.6% (+/- 16.1) in untreated patients (P less than 0.001) and 18.5% (+/- 7.2) in treated patients (P less than 0.001) and more were CD4-CD8-. Otherwise, gamma delta TCR+ IEL phenotypes were little changed: the majority remained V delta 1+V delta 2-V gamma 9- and all were CD5low. These data suggest that increased gamma delta TCR+ IEL are not a generalized response to intestinal inflammation or to stress proteins, although the typical V delta 1+V delta 2-V gamma 9- CD5low phenotype is retained.

D007413 Intestinal Mucosa Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D002446 Celiac Disease A malabsorption syndrome that is precipitated by the ingestion of foods containing GLUTEN, such as wheat, rye, and barley. It is characterized by INFLAMMATION of the SMALL INTESTINE, loss of MICROVILLI structure, failed INTESTINAL ABSORPTION, and MALNUTRITION.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
