ABSTRACT
Recent studies have confirmed that both CD40 molecule and its ligand CD40L played important roles in various stages of atherosclerosis.The critical cell component of atherosclerosis- endothelial cells,macrophages,and smooth muscle cells on which there are expressions of CD40 and CD40L.The combination of both induces human vascular endothelial cells expressing various active media,participating in the formation of atherosclerosis.However,blocking the CD40-CD40L pathway can prevent atherosclerosis or prevent the plaques from progressing.CD40L may participate in thrombosis and activation of platelet.The soluble CD40L levels increase persistently in patients with acute cerebral infarction and acute coronary syndrome.Some drugs may down-regulate CD40L level.It has provided a new approach for preventing the occurrence of vascular events.
