PG - 25 LID - 10.3389/fnagi.2019.00025 [doi] LID - 25 AB - Objective: To determine the longitudinal relationship between monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1)/CCL2 and memory function in older adults. Methods: We examined longitudinal plasma MCP-1/CCL2 levels and a longitudinal verbal memory measure (CVLT-II 20' recall) in a sample of 399 asymptomatic older adults (mean age = 72.1). Total visits ranged from 1 to 8, with an average time of 2.1 years between each visit, yielding 932 total observations. In order to isolate change over time, we decomposed MCP-1/CCL2 into subject-specific means and longitudinal deviations from the mean. The decomposed MCP-1/CCL2 variables were entered as predictors in linear mixed effects models, with age at baseline, sex, and education entered as covariates and recall as the longitudinal outcome. In follow-up analyses, we controlled for global cognition and APOE genotype, as well as baseline vascular risk factors. We also examined the specificity of findings by examining the longitudinal association between the MCP-1/CCL2 variables and non-memory cognitive tests. Results: Within-subject increases in MCP-1/CCL2 levels were associated with decreases in delayed recall (t = -2.65; p = 0.01) over time. Results were independent of global cognitive function and APOE status (t = -2.30, p = 0.02), and effects remained when controlling for baseline vascular risk factors (t = -1.92, p = 0.05). No associations were noted between within-subject increases in MCP-1/CCL2 levels and other cognitive domains. Conclusions: In an asymptomatic aging adult cohort, longitudinal increases in MCP-1/CCL2 levels were associated with longitudinal decline in memory. Results suggest that "healthy aging" is typified by early remodeling of the immune system, and that the chemokine, MCP-1/CCL2, may be associated with negative memory outcomes.
