A major problem in autoimmunity has been identification of the earliest events that lead to breach of tolerance. Although there have been major advances in dissecting effector pathways and the multi-lineage immune responses to mitochondrial self-antigens in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), the critical links between environmental factors and tolerance remain elusive. We hypothesized that environmental xenobiotic modification of the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDC-E2) inner lipoyl domain can lead to loss of tolerance to genetically susceptible hosts. Previously we demonstrated that serum anti-PDC-E2 autoantibodies cross-react with the chemical xenobiotics 2-octynoic acid (2-OA) and 6,8-bis (acetylthio) octanoic acid (SAc) and further that there is a high frequency of PDC-E2 specific peripheral plasmablasts. Herein we generated 104 recombinant mAbs based on paired heavy- and light-chain variable regions of individual plasmablasts derived from PBC patients. We identified 32 mAbs reactive with native PDC-E2, including 20 specific for PDC-E2 and 12 cross-reactive with both PDC-E2 and 2-OA and SAc. A lower frequency of replacement somatic hypermutations, indicating lower level of affinity maturation, was observed in the complementarity-determining regions (CDR) of the cross-reactive mAbs in comparison to mAbs exclusively recognizing PDC-E2 or those for irrelevant antigens. In particular, when the highly mutated heavy chain gene of a cross-reactive mAb was reverted to the germline sequence, the PDC-E2 reactivity was reduced dramatically whereas the xenobiotics reactivity was retained. Importantly, cross-reactive mAbs also recognized lipoic acid (LA), a mitochondrial fatty acid that is covalently bound to PDC-E2. Our data reflect that chemically modified LA or LA itself, via molecular mimicry, is the initial target that leads to the development of PBC.
