  1. Stimulatory immune checkpoint has been described in human and mouse metabolic diseases. For example, CD40:CD40L two-way stimulatory immune checkpoint was activated and associated with increased lesion CD40L+ TC in ACS and CD40+ MC in CKD in humans. CD40 KO reduced spleen effector memory CD4+/CD8+ TC and blood Ly6C+ MC and aorta M1 MΦ. Similar functional change was observed for immune checkpoint CD40:CD40L CD137:CD137L and OX40:OX40L
