While the inflammatory processes which drive tissue destruction in the coeliac duodenum have been extensively characterized, an increased oxidative stress (OS) response has also been suggested to contribute to CeD pathogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms which regulate OS in the coeliac mucosa and whether they impact inflammation remain ill defined. The master anti-oxidant transcriptional regulator Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and its inhibitor, Kelch like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) have been implicated in chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, such as ulcerative colitis but have been largely unexplored in the context of CeD. To investigate redox balance in the CeD duodenum, we utilized single cell transcriptomics to assess overall OS and cytoprotective Nrf2 activation across cell subsets in duodenal biopsies from CeD patients. OS induced gene expression was broadly increased across multiple cell subsets in the CeD mucosa. Simultaneously, specific markers of Nrf2 activation were decreased in cell subtypes central to pathogenesis of CeD, including activated CD4+ T cells and intraepithelial T lymphocytes, indicating a distinct redox imbalance in these cells. Furthermore, pharmacological activation of Nrf2 significantly decreased gliadin induced IFNG expression in CeD duodenal biopsies. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that redox imbalance represents a therapeutic opportunity for the modulation of proinflammatory responses that drive the pathogenesis of CeD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/cei\/uxag042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,9]],"date-time":"2026-07-09T11:59:28Z","timestamp":1783598368000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Targeting
