ABSTRACT
CD40/CD40L is a pair of complementary transmembrane glycoproteins, expressed on immune cells, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, platelets and other cells involved in regulation of immunity, inflammation, coagulation and other pathophysiologic states. A large number of researches have demonstrated that, when atherosclerosis occurs, CD40L ligates CD40; subsequently CD40 is activated and stimulates downstream signaling pathways, including nuclear factor-kappaB, with consequent up-regulation of proinflammatory and proatherogenic genes. Thus it plays an important role in the occurrence, development and plaque-rupture of atherosclerosis. CD40/CD40L is a bridge between immunity, inflammation, and a hypercoagulable state, and may be an important target for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
