چکیده انگلیسی
Novosphingobium aromaticivorans, a unique ubiquitous bacterium that metabolizes xenobiotics and activates environmental estrogens, has been suggested as a pathogenic factor in the development of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). To define the molecular basis of PBC sera reactivity, we investigated the characteristic of the bacterial antigens involved. We cloned and sequenced four genes from N. aromaticivorans coding for immunoreactive proteins, arbitrarily named Novo 1 through Novo 4. We subsequently analyzed these proteins for their homology to known mitochondrial proteins and defined their reactivity using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), rabbit anti-lipoic acid antibody, and PBC/control sera. Moreover, we studied their phylogenetic relation with the known PBC autoantigens. Novo proteins have an extraordinary degree of amino acid homology with all of the major human mitochondrial autoantigens PDC-E2 (Novo 1 and 2), OGDC-E2 (Novo 3), and BCOADC-E2 (Novo 4). Moreover, Novo 1-4 contain a lipoylated domain, are recognized by AMA-positive sera, and react with specific mAbs to mitochondrial antigens. Interestingly, the phylogenetic relation of the proteins emphasizes the conservation of the lipoylated domain. In conclusion, our data provide a high degree of confidence that N. aromaticivorans may potentiate the breakdown of self tolerance in genetically susceptible individuals.
