Our laboratory has developed a xenobiotic induced model of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) following immunization of mice with 2-octynoic acid coupled to bovine serum albumin (2-OA-BSA), an antigen selected following quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis of the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC-E2), the immunodominant autoantigen of PBC. Recent data in humans with PBC has suggested that a major component of liver pathology is due to activation of innate immunity. We took advantage of our 2-OA-BSA model and immunized mice with and without the addition of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), an invariant natural killer T cell activator. Importantly, we report herein that 2-OA-BSA-immunized mice exposed to α-GalCer develop a profound exacerbation of their autoimmune cholangitis, including significant increases in CD8+ T-cell infiltrates, portal inflammation, granuloma formation, and bile duct damage. Furthermore, such mice produce increased levels of antimitochondrial antibodies and have evidence of fibrosis, a feature not previously reported in the murine models of PBC. Conclusion: Our data suggests a primary role of innate immunity in the exacerbation of autoimmune cholangitis and also become a logical explanation for the recurrence of PBC following liver transplantation in the absence of major histocompatability complex compatibility. We submit that PBC begins with loss of tolerance to PDC-E2 and a multilineage antimitochondrial response in which autoreactive CD8+ T cells are critical. However, the perpetuation of disease and its exacerbation will also be modulated by innate immune mechanisms. ? 2010 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. |
