HLA-B8 and host mitochondrial fission?

Does HLA-B8 mean that mitochondrial fission has occurred during an infection?

Several autoimmune diseases have been associated with HLA-B8. Celiac, DH, and graves have been associated with e.coli.  Addisons and SJ have been connected to candida infections.  (note that graves can be caused by a variety of bacterias)

The connection to HLA-b8 that stands out is hepatitis C.  What does this virus have in common with these infections? All of these infections and hepatitis C cause mitochondria fission.

HLA-B8 is a mitochondria mailbox...so does this mailbox signify not just something in the mitochondria of the host but that fact that fisson has occurred?

(hepatitis C goes seems to go to the nucleus using MCR1 so how it causes the fission is not figured out)

farsenol induces fragmentation of mitochondria (fission)

Farsenol is a quorum made by candida.

This mitochondrial fission is the only thing I can find connecting these infections with the mitochondria thus explaining the HLA-B8.

 Any other ideas?
