Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy associated with alterations of
metabolism. Metabolomics studies, although limited, showed changes in choline, choline-derived
lipids, and methionine concentrations, which could be ascribed to alterations in one-carbon metabolism.
To date, no targeted metabolomics analysis investigating di erences in the plasma choline/methionine
metabolome of CD subjects are reported. This work is a targeted metabolomic study that analyzes
37 metabolites of the one-carbon metabolism in 17 children with CD, treated with a gluten-free diet
and 17 healthy control siblings, in order to establish the potential defects in this metabolic network.
Our results demonstrate the persistence of defects in the transsulfuration pathway of CD subjects,
despite dietary treatment, while choline metabolism, methionine cycle, and folate cycle seem to be
reversed and preserved to healthy levels. These findings describe for the first time, a metabolic defect
in one-carbon metabolism which could have profound implications in the physiopathology and
treatment of CD.
