Background: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a 76-amino acid protein that attracts monocytes. In vitro studies have reported high levels of MCP-1 messenger RNA expression, as well as the presence of MCP-1, in malignant glioma cells. Purpose: Our purpose was to determine whether an MCP-1 assay could be used in a clinical setting 1) to differentiate malignant from benign gliomas and from nontumor disorders of the central nervous system and 2) to detect subarachnoid dissemination of glioma cells. Methods: MCP-1 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cyst fluid were measured with a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that we had previously developed. We measured MCP-1 levels in CSF samples from 19 patients with malignant glioma (glioblastoma, 10; anaplastic astrocytoma, six; anaplastic oligodendroglioma, two; and ependymoblastoma, one), nine patients with benign glioma, and seven patients with nontumor disorders of the central nervous system. Cyst fluids from four patients with malignant glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma) were also tested. The correlation between MCP-1 concentration in the CSF and subarachnoid dissemination of malignant glioma cells was also studied. Results: The MCP-1 concentration (mean +/- SE) in CSF samples from patients with malignant glioma (2.3 +/- 0.4 ng/mL) was significantly higher than that from patients with benign glioma (0.6 +/- 0.1 ng/mL) (P
