Adductor muscles were embedded in paraffin, and 5 μm thick sections were cut for histological analysis. Smooth muscle cells were stained with primary antibody mouse anti-mouse α-SMA (Dako, 1:1000). Rabbit anti-mouse HRP (Dako, 1:300) was used as the secondary antibody. Slides were scanned with the Pannoramic MIDI digital slide scanner (3DHistech). The number and lumen diameter of α-SMA positive vessels were analyzed by Pannoramic viewer software (3DHistech, version: 2.3) with 20× magnification (3 sections per limb per mouse). The smallest diameter of vessel was measured in the picture as described previously [37 (link)].
Six μm-thick frozen soleus sections (3 sections per limb per mouse) were fixed in ice-cold acetone and stained using primary antibody anti-CD31 biotin (Biolegend, 102503, 1:100) and an avidin–biotin complex (ABC) kit (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA). Slides were scanned with the Pannoramic MIDI digital slide scanner (3DHistech). Random snapshots (3 per section) were taken by the Pannoramic viewer software (3DHistech) with 40× magnification (6–9 images per limb per mouse). The CD31 positive area was quantified by ImageJ as described previously [38 (link)].

Digital Pathology Analysis Pipeline

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IHC stained slides were digitized with the whole-slide Pannoramic MIDI scanner (3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) at 20× magnification. Digital image analysis was performed on whole sample areas, excluding only detected artefacts and folded and/or broken regions, which were considered uninformative. Ki67, SYP, KANK1, and DOCK8 were analyzed automatically using Pannoramic Viewer (PV) software (3DHISTECH), and their number of positive cells were determined by applying the NuclearQuant module. This module could be applied to non-nuclear stained samples by adjusting nucleus size settings to detect entire cells when required (nuclear radius 3–15 µm) and adjusting color deconvolution settings. HistoQuant module of PV was applied in VN-stained sections to obtain the areas of each VN intensity expression. All data obtained from PV modules were validated with pathologist’s morphological assessment of the digital image. Digitally obtained data and subsequent pathologist evaluation differed by only 5–10%.

HE, Ki67 and PTBP1 stained sections were digitalized with the whole-slide Pannoramic MIDI scanner (3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) at 20x magnification. Detected artefacts and folded and/or broken regions were considered uninformative and were excluded. HistoQuant module was applied in HE-stained sections to obtain the solid area of hydrogels, defining solid area as the regions of the sample with cellular clusters and/or biopolymers. The number of cellular clusters, their respective areas and total hydrogel area for each condition were obtained by segmentation with Pannoramic Viewer (PV) software (3DHISTECH) (Supplementary Fig. 2). Cell nucleus size and shape were also obtained with the HistoQuant module of the PV software. Ki67 and PTBP1 were also determined using PV software, and their expression-related parameters (number of positive cells) were analyzed automatically applying the NuclearQuant module.

Immediately upon removal, tumors and livers were placed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) solution. Then 48 h later, the samples were transferred to 70% ethanol, and they were further processed, embedded, sectioned, and stained with H&E at the University of Ottawa Histology Core Facility. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded slides were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through a 100%–70% ethanol gradient. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed at 110°C for 12 min with citrate buffer (pH 6.0), and 3% H202 was used to block endogenous peroxidases. Sections were further blocked with Background Sniper blocking reagent (BioCare Medical, CA, USA) and incubated with rabbit anti-HA antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, C29F4; 1:1,000 liver, 1:2,000 tumor) and/or rabbit anti-HAdV-5 (Abcam, ab6982; 1:2,000) for 1 h at room temperature. Antibody binding was visualized using the MAHC4TM + DAB detection system according to the manufacturer’s instructions (BioCare Medical). Slides were then counterstained with hematoxylin, and images were obtained using the Zeiss Mirax Midi whole-slide digital scanner. Images were analyzed using Pannoramic Viewer software (3DHISTECH, build 1.15.4.43061, Budapest, Hungary), and they were compiled using Inkscape software.74

PAS-stained and TUNEL slides were digitized using Pannoramic Flash 250 (3DHistech) with 20×/0.8 NA air objective. Images were produced and analyzed using the Pannoramic Viewer software (3DHistech). Immunofluorescence images of testis sections were produced using an SP8 confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems) with 63×/1.4 NA oil-immersion objective. Chromosome spreads were imaged on an AX70 epifluorescent microscope (Olympus) equipped with a CoolSNAP MYO CCD camera (Photometrics) using a 100×/1.35 NA oil-immersion objective.
All histological and cytological data are representative of ≥2 biological replicates (independent mice) of similar ages. Presence/absence of developing follicles in mutant ovaries (Fig. 3d, e) was assessed by examining ≥30 sections (spanning ≥150 μm of ovarian tissue). Quantitative data were acquired by manual scoring. For TUNEL quantification (Fig. 3c), ≥3 testis sections (≥50 μm apart) were scored per mouse. For detection of number of foci (Fig. 5, 6), immunofluorescence staining was adjusted to be above background level (region containing no cells) using Fiji (Schindelin et al. 2012 (link)) and only foci that overlapped with SYCP3 staining (axis-associated foci) were counted. Spermatocytes were staged on the basis of SYCP3 staining patterns. Statistical analyses were done using GraphPad Prism 7.

Animals received 200 mg/kg bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, B5002) 1 hour prior to termination. Immunolabeled (PanCK, BrdU, DAPI) and scanned (Pannoramic Scanner, 3D-Histech Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) frozen sections of SPC111 tumor colonies were divided into four quarters according to the supply of the nutrients (Q1: area of the tumor facing the lung, Q2: area of the tumor facing the diaphragm, Q3, Q4: area of the tumor facing the vascular proliferations located at the two sides of the sectioned tumor colonies. Proliferating (BrdU labeled) and all tumor cells (DAPI) were counted (Pannoramic Viewer software, 3D-Histech Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). The proliferation index (PI) was defined according to the next formula: PI (%) = (number of proliferating cells/number of all cells) ×100. Presence of vascular proliferations and lack of intratumoral vessels was monitored by appropriate serial sections (CD31, laminin) from at least 4 different depths of the tumor nodules. Samples containing intratumoral vessels were omitted. The average size of the examined tumors was 1,034±255 × 355±77 µm. Statistical significance of difference between the PIs of the four quarters was analyzed by using Student’s t-test. Results were considered as significant at P≤0.05.
