Peripheral blood monocytes are recruited to the inflamed mucosa of inflammatory bowel disease but the specific chemotactic signals responsible for their attraction are not known. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a chemokine with patent monocyte attracting and activating properties and the aim of this study was to examine its expression and production in inflammatory bowel disease. In situ hybridization demonstrated mRNA for MCP-1 in macrophages, some of which had been recently recruited from the circulation as demonstrated by their co-expression of the monocyte marker CD14, as well as in smooth muscle and endothelial cells in inflamed mucose, Immunohistochemical studies showed a corresponding distribution of MCP-1 protein production by macrophages, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells. By contrast minimal MCP-1 mRNA expression and protein were found in histologically normal mucosa. Macrophages isolated from surgically resected inflammatory bowel disease colons and examined by Northern analysis expressed MCP-1 mRNA significantly more frequently (15/24 vs. 0/19, P
