Expression of CD36 in GC tissues, normal tissues and cell lines and its correlation with the clinico-pathology of GC. a IHC staining of CD36 in GC tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues. Histogram shows the IHC scores of CD36 expression in GC tissues and normal tissues. b The expression level of CD36 in GC cell lines and immortalized gastric epithelial cell line (GES-1) by western blot and densitometric measurements of CD36 protein levels. c CD36 mRNA levels in GC tissues and paired normal tissues from GEO database (T = GC tissues, N = paired normal tissues). d, f and g Cumulative survival curves of GC patients from GEO database, TCGA database and our own clinical data. e PPS analysis of GC patients from GEO database. h, i and j Correlation between CD36 expression in tumor tissues and clinico-pathological parameters based on TCGA database. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ‘NS’ means not significant
