Celiac disease (CD) is the most common autoimmune enteropathy in the western world caused by the intolerance to gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. CD is characterized by a remarkable rearrangement of the mucosal architecture, in which process myofibroblasts play a crucial role. Myofibroblasts (intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts and interstitial cells of Cajal) are the most represented mesenchymal cell types in the gut mucosa and are involved in a broad range of biological processes including growth, mucosal protection, repair, inflammation and fibrosis. Myofibroblasts actively contribute to the mucosal changes in CD due to their ability to produce an excessive amount of extracellular matrix and basement membrane components (e.g. collagens, fibronectin, and specific enzymes including tissue transglutaminases) and through the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The enhanced production of ECM components and MMPs and the altered shape and motility of myofibroblasts in the duodenal mucosa of patients with CD suggest that myofibroblasts may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of CD.

Microbiome is the community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganism that share our human body space. Intestinal microbiota has a defensive role in human health, it is implicated in metabolic and nutritional processes and plays an important role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. In recent years special attention has been paid to investigations targeting the changes of intestinal microbiome in various gastrointestinal disorders including inflammatory bowel disease, infectious colitis and celiac disease (CD). The aim of our present review is to summarize the role of the microbiome in CD and the changes of its composition in the intestine of patients suffering from CD.
