Background: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a chemokine recruiting monocytes to the atherosclerotic plaque. Experimental, genetic, and epidemiological data support a key role of MCP-1 in atherosclerosis. Yet, the translational potential of targeting MCP-1 signaling for lowering vascular risk is limited by the lack of data on plaque MCP-1 activity in human atherosclerosis. Methods: We measured MCP-1 levels in human plaque samples from 1,199 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy from the Athero-Express Biobank. We explored associations of plaque MCP-1 levels with histopathological features of plaque vulnerability, clinical plaque instability (symptomatic vs. asymptomatic plaque), molecular markers of plaque inflammation and remodeling, and with incident vascular events up to three years after plaque removal. Results: MCP-1 plaque levels were associated with individual histopathological hallmarks of plaque vulnerability (large lipid core, low collagen, high macrophage burden, low smooth muscle cell burden, intraplaque hemorrhage), as well as with a cumulative vulnerability index (range 0-5, beta: 0.42, 95%CI: 0.30-0.53, p=5.4x10 -13 ) independently of age, sex, and conventional vascular risk factors. Furthermore, MCP-1 levels were higher among patients with symptomatic, as compared to asymptomatic plaques (p=0.0001) and were associated with the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in leukocyte adhesion, as well as with matrix metalloproteinase activity in the plaque. In the follow-up analyses, MCP-1 levels were associated with a higher risk of peri-procedural events (up to 30 days after surgery). Conclusions: Our findings highlight a role of MCP-1 in human plaque vulnerability, the leading mechanism underlying vascular events like stroke and myocardial infarction. As such, they suggest that interfering with MCP-1 signaling in patients with established atherosclerosis could lower vascular risk.

Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to explore the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1 or CCL2) in the processes that underpin bone remodelling, particularly the action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and its role in the development and metastasis of cancers that target the bone. Recent Findings MCP-1 is a key mediator of osteoclastogenesis, being the highest induced gene during intermittent treatment with parathyroid hormone (iPTH), but also regulates catabolic effects of continuous PTH on bone including monocyte and macrophage recruitment, osteoclast formation and bone resorption. In concert with PTH-related protein (PTHrP), MCP-1 mediates the interaction between tumour-derived factors and host-derived chemokines to promote skeletal metastasis. In breast and prostate cancers, an osteolytic cascade is driven by tumour cell–derived PTHrP that upregulates MCP-1 in osteoblastic cells. This relationship between PTHrP and osteoblastic expression of MCP-1 may drive the colonisation of disseminated breast cancer cells in the bone. Summary There is mounting evidence to suggest a pivotal role of MCP-1 in many diseases and an important role in the establishment of comorbidities. Coupled with its role in bone remodelling and the regulation of bone turnover, there is the potential for pathological relationships between bone disorders and bone-related cancers driven by MCP-1. MCP-1’s role in bone remodelling and bone-related cancers highlights its potential as a novel anti-resorptive and anti-metastatic target.
