Down-regulation of CD46 secondary to stimulation with measles virus (MV) was investigated using CD46-positive cell lines and Japanese wild-type MV strains. The cells used were simian cell lines B95a and Vero in which MV strains have been adapted to be amplified, and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell transfectants expressing human CD46 with (CHO(tail+)) or without (CHO(tail-)) the cytoplasmic tail. Of four Vero-adapted and three B95a-adapted MV strains, one Vero-adapted strain named Khono (KO), down-regulated CD46 within 60 min (early down-regulation) in all cell lines examined except Vero. No strains other than Toyoshima (TY), which induced early down-regulation only in CHO(tail+) cells, induced early down-regulation of CD46 in any combinatioon. On the other hand, conventional down-regulation of CD46 was observed 24 h post-MV inoculaiton (late down-regulation) when cell lines used were adapted to MV strains. Thus, we concluded that there are two modes of CD46 down-regulation by MV and the unique strain KO markedly induces early down-regulation. Also, the CD46 homologue of B95a, which fails to act as a MV receptor, is down-regulated concomitantly with MV replication (>24 h) in cells principally by compenent virus strains.
