title: Functional modulation of human macrophages through CD46 (measles virus receptor): production of IL-12 p40 and nitric oxide in association with recruitment of protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 to CD46.
abstract: Human CD46, formerly membrane cofactor protein, binds and inactivates complement C3b and serves as a receptor for measles virus (MV), thereby protecting cells from homologous complement and sustaining systemic measles infection. Suppression of cell-mediated immunity, including down-regulation of IL-12 production, has been reported on macrophages (Mphi) by cross-linking their CD46. The intracellular events responsible for these immune responses, however, remain unknown. In this study, we found that 6- to 8-day GM-CSF-treated peripheral blood monocytes acquired the capacity to recruit protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 to their CD46 and concomitantly were able to produce IL-12 p40 and NO. These responses were induced by stimulation with mAbs F(ab')(2) against CD46 that block MV binding or by a wild-type MV strain Kohno MV strain (KO; UV treated or untreated) that was reported to induce early phase CD46 down-regulation. Direct ligation of CD46 by these reagents, but not intracellular MV replication, was required for these cellular responses. Interestingly, the KO strain failed to replicate in the 6- to 8-day GM-CSF-cultured Mphi, while other MV strains replicated to form syncytia under the same conditions. When stimulated with the KO strain, rapid and transient dissociation of SHP-1 from CD46 was observed. These and previous results provide strong evidence that CD46 serves as a signal modulatory molecule and that the properties of ligands determine suppression or activation of an innate immune system at a specific maturation stage of human Mphi.
