The adhesion of cells to each other and to the proteins of the extracellular matrix provides a stable environment for cell growth, differentiation and migration. This is a prerequisite for the normal function of the cardiovascular system. Thus the abnormal adhesion function may play a key role in the pathogenesis and development of cardiovascular diseases. To date, there are six main groups of adhesion molecule, and integrins family are the largest and most broadly distributed of the families of cellular adhesion receptors. They have an important role in several aspects of cardiovascular diseases and that its regulated inhibition leads to a reduction in incidence and mortality due to these disorders. This review focuses upon the structure、mechanism and their roles in cardiovascular diseases which maybe facilitate the development of novel therapies.

Apolipoprotein A Ⅰ, the major protein component of the HDL, exerts its important function during modulating the metabolism of lipids in the plasma. Animal experiments have established that high concentration of the apo A Ⅰ not only inhibits the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, but also makes the preexisting atherosclerotic lesions regress. The most accepted mechanism is reverse cholesterol transport(RCT). It may become a new non traumatic therapy that the atherosclerosis is prevented and treated by the purified or recombinant human apolipoprotein A Ⅰ.
