'''Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2''' (CCL2) is a small [[cytokine]] belonging to the CC [[chemokine]] family that is also known as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). It is found at the site of tooth eruption and bone degradation. In the bone, CCL2 is expressed by mature [[osteoclast]]s and [[osteoblast]]s and is under the control of nuclear factor κB (NFκB). CCL2  recruits immune cells, such as [[monocyte]]s, to sites of tissue injury and [[infection]].  This chemokine is produced as a [[protein precursor]] containing signal peptide of 23 [[amino acid]]s and a mature peptide of 76 amino acids.<ref>Yoshimura et al., Human monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1): full-length cDNA cloning, expression in mitogen-stimulated blood mononuclear leukocytes, and sequence similarity to mouse competence gene JE.

==Function==
==Genomics==
CCL2 induces recruitment of [[monocytes]], [[T lymphocytes]], [[eosinophils]], and [[basophils]] and is responsible for many [[inflammation|inflammatory reactions]] to disease, and has been linked to recruitment of osteoclast precursors.


In human osteoclasts, it has been shown that CCL2 and [[RANTES]] (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted) are unregulated by [[RANKL]] (receptor activator of NFκB ligand). And that both MCP-1 and RANTES induced the formation of [[tartrate resistant acid phosphatase|TRAP-positive]], multinuclear cells from M-CSF-treated monocytes in the absence of RANKL, but produced osteoclasts that lacked [[cathepsin|cathepsin K]] expression and resorptive capacity. It is proposed that CCL2 and RANTES act as [[autocrine]] loop in human osteoclast [[cell differentiation|differentiation]].
In the human genome, CCL2 and many other CC chemokines are located on [[chromosome 17]] (17q11.2-q21.1).<ref name="pmid2004761">{{cite journal | vauthors = Mehrabian M, Sparkes RS, Mohandas T, Fogelman AM, Lusis AJ | title = Localization of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 gene (SCYA2) to human chromosome 17q11.2-q21.1 | journal = Genomics | volume = 9 | issue = 1 | pages = 200–3 | date = Jan 1991 | pmid = 2004761 | doi = 10.1016/0888-7543(91)90239-B }}</ref> The gene span is 1,927 bases and the CCL2 gene resides on the Watson (plus) strand.

CCL2 is a monomeric [[polypeptide]], with a [[molecular weight]] of approximately 13 kDa. CCL2 is anchored in the plasma membrane of endothelial cells by glycosaminoglycan side chains of proteoglycans. CCL2 is primarily secreted by [[monocyte]]s, [[macrophage]]s and [[dendritic cell]]s. Platelet derived growth factor is a major inducer of CCL2 gene. To become activated CCL2 protein has to be cleaved by [[metalloproteinase]] MMP-12.
 
[[CCR2]] and [[CCR4]] are two cell surface receptors that bind CCL2.<ref name="pmid17160712">{{cite journal | vauthors = Craig MJ, Loberg RD | title = CCL2 (Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1) in cancer bone metastases | journal = Cancer Metastasis Reviews | volume = 25 | issue = 4 | pages = 611–9 | date = Dec 2006 | pmid = 17160712 | pmc =  | doi = 10.1007/s10555-006-9027-x }}</ref>
 
CCL2 exhibits a chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils. However, it does not attract neutrophils or
eosinophils. After deletion of the N-terminal residue, CCL2 loses its attractivity  for basophils and becomes a chemoattractant of eosinophils. Basophils and mast cells that are treated with CCL2 release their granules to the intercellular space. This effect can be also potentiated by a pre-treatment with IL-3 or even by other cytokines.<ref name="pmid8550082">{{cite journal | vauthors = Conti P, Boucher W, Letourneau R, Feliciani C, Reale M, Barbacane RC, Vlagopoulos P, Bruneau G, Thibault J, Theoharides TC | title = Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 provokes mast cell aggregation and [3H]5HT release | journal = Immunology | volume = 86 | issue = 3 | pages = 434–40 | date = Nov 1995 | pmid = 8550082 | pmc = 1383948 }}</ref><ref name="pmid1569397">{{cite journal | vauthors = Bischoff SC, Krieger M, Brunner T, Dahinden CA | title = Monocyte chemotactic protein 1 is a potent activator of human basophils | journal = The Journal of Experimental Medicine | volume = 175 | issue = 5 | pages = 1271–5 | date = May 1992 | pmid = 1569397 | pmc = 2119199 | doi = 10.1084/jem.175.5.1271 }}</ref> CCL2 augments monocyte anti-tumor activity and it is essential for formation of granulomas.

The CCL2 chemokine is also expressed by neurons, astrocytes and microglia. The expression of CCL2 in neurons is mainly found in the cerebral cortex, globus pallidus, hippocampus, paraventricular and supraoptic hypothalamic nuclei, lateral hypothalamus, substantia nigra, facial nuclei, motor and spinal trigeminal nuclei, gigantocellular reticular nucleus and in Purkinje cells in the cerebellum.<ref name="Banisadr">{{cite journal | vauthors = Banisadr G, Gosselin RD, Mechighel P, Kitabgi P, Rostène W, Parsadaniantz SM | title = Highly regionalized neuronal expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) in rat brain: evidence for its colocalization with neurotransmitters and neuropeptides | journal = The Journal of Comparative Neurology | volume = 489 | issue = 3 | pages = 275–92 | date = Aug 2005 | pmid = 16025454 | pmc =  | doi = 10.1002/cne.20598 }}</ref>

[[Adipocyte]]s secrete various [[adipokine]]s that may be involved in the negative cross-talk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.

The chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is also referred to as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) and small inducible cytokine A2. CCL2 is a small cytokine that belongs to the CC chemokine family. CCL2 recruits monocytes, memory T cells, and dendritic cells to the sites of inflammation produced by either tissue injury or infection.[1][2]

Genomics

In the human genome, CCL2 and many other CC chemokines are located on chromosome 17 (17q11.2-q21.1).[3] The gene span is 1,927 bases and the CCL2 gene resides on the Watson (plus) strand. The CCL2 gene has three exons and two introns. The CCL2 protein precursor contains a signal peptide of 23 amino acids. In turn, the mature CCL2 is 76 amino acids long.[4][5] The CCL2 predicted weight is 11.025 kiloDaltons (kDa).

The gene homologous to CCL2 in the mouse is Sig-je.

Population genetics

In humans, the levels of CCL2 can vary considerably. In the white people of European descent, the multivariable-adjusted heritability of CCL2 concentrations is as much as 0.37 in the blood plasma and 0.44 - in the serum[6][7]

Molecular biology

CCL2 is a monomeric polypeptide, with a molecular weight of approximately 13 kDa. CCL2 is anchored in the plasma membrane of endothelial cells by glycosaminoglycan side chains of proteoglycans. CCL2 is primarily secreted by monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells. Platelet derived growth factor is a major inducer of CCL2 gene. To become activated CCL2 protein has to be cleaved by metalloproteinase MMP-12.

CCR2 and CCR4 are two cell surface receptors that bind CCL2.[8]

CCL2 exhibits a chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils. However, it does not attract neutrophils or eosinophils. After deletion of the N-terminal residue, CCL2 loses its attractivity for basophils and becomes a chemoattractant of eosinophils. Basophils and mast cells that are treated with CCL2 release their granules to the intercellular space. This effect can be also potentiated by a pre-treatment with IL-3 or even by other cytokines.[9][10] CCL2 augments monocyte anti-tumor activity and it is essential for formation of granulomas.

CCL2 can be found at the sites of tooth eruption and bone degradation. In the bone, CCL2 is expressed by mature osteoclasts and osteoblasts and it is under control of nuclear factor κB (NFκB). In the human osteoclasts, CCL2 and RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted). Both MCP-1 and RANTES induce formation of TRAP-positive, multinuclear cells from M-CSF-treated monocytes in the absence of RANKL, but produced osteoclasts that lacked cathepsin K expression and resorptive capacity. It is proposed that CCL2 and RANTES act as autocrine loop in human osteoclast differentiation.[11]

The CCL2 chemokine is also expressed by neurons, astrocytes and microglia. The expression of CCL2 in neurons is mainly found in the cerebral cortex, globus pallidus, hippocampus, paraventricular and supraoptic hypothalamic nuclei, lateral hypothalamus, substantia nigra, facial nuclei, motor and spinal trigeminal nuclei, gigantocellular reticular nucleus and in Purkinje cells in the cerebellum.[12]

Clinical importance

CCL2 is implicated in pathogeneses of several diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates, such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis.[13]

Administration of anti-CCL2 antibodies in a model of glomerulonephritis reduces infiltration of macrophages and T cells, reduces crescent formation, as well as scarring and renal impairment.[14]

CCL2 is involved in the neuroinflammatory processes that takes place in the various diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), which are characterized by neuronal degeneration.[15] CCL2 expression in glial cells is increased in epilepsy,[16][17] brain ischemia[18] Alzheimer’s disease[19] experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE),[20] and traumatic brain injury.[21]

Hypomethylation of CpG sites within the CCL2 promoter region is affected by high levels of blood glucose and TG, which increase CCL2 levels in the blood serum. The later plays an important role in the vascular complications of type 2 diabetes[22]

CCL2 induces amylin expression through ERK1/ERK2/JNK-AP1 and NF-κB related signaling pathways independent of CCR2. Amylin upregulation by CCL2 contributes to the elevation of the plasma amylin and insulin resistance in obesity.[23]

Adipocytes secrete various adipokines that may be involved in the negative cross-talk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. CCL2 impairs insulin signaling in skeletal muscle cells via ERK1/2 activation at doses similar to its physiological plasma concentrations (200 pg/mL), but does not involve activation of the NF-κB pathway. CCL2 significantly reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in myocytes. CCL2 may represent a molecular link in the negative cross-talk between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle assigning a completely novel important role to CCL2 besides inflammation.[24]

Incubation of HL-1 cardiomyocytes and human myocytes with oxidized-LDL induced the expression of BNP and CCL2 genes, while native LDL (N-LDL) had no effect.[25]

Treatment with melatonin in old mice with age related liver inflammation decreased the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, HO (HO-1 and HO-2), iNOS, CCL2, NF-κB1, NF-κB2 and NKAP in old male mice. The protein expression of TNF-α, IL-1β was also decreased and IL-10 increased with melatonin treatment. Exogenous administration of melatonin was able to reduce inflammation.[26]
