Abstract SARS-CoV-2 evolves gradually to cause COVID-19 epidemic. One of driving forces of SARS-CoV-2 evolution might be activation of apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic subunit-like protein 3 (APOBEC3) by inflammatory factors. Here, we aimed to elucidate the effect of the APOBEC3-related viral mutations on the infectivity and immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2. The APOBEC3-related C > U mutations ranked as the second most common mutation types in the SARS-CoV-2 genome. mRNA expression of APOBEC3A (A3A), APOBEC3B (A3B), and APOBEC3G (A3G) in peripheral blood cells increased with disease severity. A3B, a critical member of the APOBEC3 family, was significantly upregulated in both severe and moderate COVID-19 patients and positively associated with neutrophil proportion and COVID-19 severity. We identified USP18 protein, a key molecule centralizing the protein-protein interaction network of key APOBEC3 proteins. Furthermore, mRNA expression of USP18 was significantly correlated to ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression in the tissue of upper airways. Knockdown of USP18 mRNA significantly decreased A3B expression. Ectopic expression of A3B gene increased SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. C > U mutations at S371F, S373L, and S375F significantly conferred with the immune escape of SARS-CoV-2. Thus, APOBEC3, whose expression are upregulated by inflammatory factors, might promote SARS-CoV-2 evolution and spread via upregulating USP18 level and facilitating the immune escape. A3B and USP18 might be therapeutic targets for interfering with SARS-CoV-2 evolution.
