Core Tip	Environment influences immune functions. In this paper, we examine how environmental chemicals can trigger autoimmunity in an organ specific autoimmune disease, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). PBC is liver specific autoimmune disease characterized by high titer of anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies directed against the E2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDC-E2) lipoyl domain. Here, we present experimental evidence from quantitative structure-activity relationship and animal models that xenobiotic modification of the PDC-E2 lipoyl domain could lead to loss of self-tolerance and is a pivotal event in the initial etiology of PBC in genetically susceptible hosts.
