Data from genome wide association studies and geoepidemiological studies established that a com-bination of genetic predisposition and environmental stimulation is required for the loss of tolerance in primary biliary cholangitis(PBC).The serologic hallmark of PBC are the presence of high titer anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies(AMA)that recognize the lipoyl domain of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase E2(PDC--E2)subunit.Extensive efforts have been directed to investigate the molecular basis of AMA.Recently,experimental data has pointed to the thesis that the breaking of tolerance to PDC--E2 is a pivotal event in the initial etiology of PBC,including environmental xenobiotics including those commonly found in cos-metics and food additives,suggesting that chemical modification of the PDC--E2 epitope may render its vulnerable to become a neo-antigen and trigger an immune response in genetically susceptible hosts.Here,we will discuss the natural history,genetics and immunobiology of PBC and structural constraints of PDC--E2 in AMA recognition which makes it vulnerable to chemical modification.
