    Abstract: Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is a hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related extrahepatic manifestation that is characterized by the abnormal presence of immune complexes (ICs). This may be due to the reduced uptake and clearance of ICs. The C-type lectin member 18A (CLEC18A) is a secretory protein that is expressed abundantly in hepatocytes. We previously observed that CLEC18A increased significantly in the phagocytes and sera of patients with HCV, particularly those with MC. Herein, we explored the biological functions of CLEC18A in the MC syndrome development of patients with HCV by using an in vitro cell-based assay with quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. HCV infection or Toll-like receptor 3/7/8 activation could induce CLEC18A expression in Huh7.5 cells. Upregulated CLEC18A interacts with Rab5 and Rab7 and enhances type I/III interferon production to inhibit HCV replication in hepatocytes. However, overexpressed CLEC18A suppressed phagocytic activity in phagocytes. Significantly decreased levels of the Fc gamma receptor (Fc?R) IIA were found in the neutrophils of HCV patients, particularly in those with MC (P < 0.005). We demonstrated that CLEC18A could inhibit Fc?RIIA expression in a dose-dependent manner through the production of NOX-2-dependent reactive oxygen species to impair the uptake of ICs. Additionally, CLEC18A suppresses the Rab7 expression that is induced by starvation. Overexpressed CLEC18A does not affect autophagosome formation but does reduce the recruitment of Rab7 to autophagosomes, thereby retarding the maturation of autophagosomes and affecting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. We offer a novel molecular machinery with which to understand the association of HCV infection with autoimmunity and propose that CLEC18A may act as a candidate biomarker for HCV-associated MC.
