CD36 overexpression in CRC cell lines (HCT116, HT29, HT29LuM3) resulted in: 1) upregulation of cell proliferation by high survivin expression and a decreased caspase-3 and PARP cleavage; 2) enhanced invasion ability; and 3) increased colony formation and diameter (Drury et al., 2020). The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
