The biologic effects of CD36 on cervical cancer cell lines. a, b Knockdown CD36 expression inhibited invasion both in SiHa and HeLa cells (*P < 0.05 vs. controls; **P < 0.01 vs. controls). d, e Enhancement CD36 expression promoted invasion of C33a cells (**P < 0.01 vs. controls). c, g, h Knockdown CD36 expression increased the rate of apoptosis in SiHa and HeLa cells. c, k Enhancing CD36 expression inhibited the apoptotic rate of C33a cells (*P < 0.05 vs. controls). f, i interference of CD36 expression decreased colony formation in SiHa and HeLa cells (*P < 0.05 vs. controls; **P < 0.01 vs. controls). f, j Overexpression of CD36 facilitated colony formation in C33a cells (**P < 0.01 vs. controls)
