CD36 and lobular neoplasia: The gene expression profile from GSE32591 revealed that the expression of CD36 was significantly higher in the glomeruli of LN patients than in those of controls (p < 0.001) (Fig. 1C), and there was a negative correlation between glomerular CD36 and NPHS1 (nephrin) mRNA levels (r = −0.386, p < 0.05), which suggested that the upregulation of CD36 might be correlated with renal podocyte injury (Fig. 1D).
