CD36 and lung cancer: Sun et al. (2018) have reported a hypermethylation of CD36, correlated with low expression in primary lung tumors. CD36 inhibited migration, invasion, and proliferation of lung cancer cells and arrested cell cycles in G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, treatment with decitabine, an inhibitor of DNA methylation and chidamide, an HDAC inhibitor, decreased the methylation and increased the mRNA expression level of CD36.
