Tissue samples were fixed in 4% formalin solution and paraffin-embedded. For hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene, hydrated in graded alcohol solutions, and stained with H&E. The samples were examined under an automatic digital slide scanner (Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH, Budapest, Hungary) after mounting. For immunohistochemistry, tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene, hydrated in graded alcohol solutions, and heated (100 °C) for 15 min in Antigen Retrieval Citra Solution (pH 6.0) for antigen retrieval. For single immunostaining, endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked in a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 0.3% Triton X-100 for 30 min at room temperature. The sections were incubated with the indicated antibodies overnight at 4 °C, and then incubated with the corresponding horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. Finally, 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB; Dako, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used to detect these labeled antibodies and the nucleus was stained with hematoxylin. After rinsing with PBS, the samples were mounted and analyzed using an automatic digital slide scanner (Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH).

Fresh human HCC tissues, normal adjacent tissues, and xenografted tumors were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde for overnight prior to being embedded in paraffin and sectioned at 4 µm thickness using a cryostat. Sections were then dewaxed using xylene and rehydrated prior being incubated with primary antibodies for 1 h, followed by incubation with corresponding secondary antibodies conjugated with horse‐radish peroxidase for 1 h. Visualization was performed using a DAB Kit (DAKO, Beijing, China) under microscope. Nuclei were then counterstained with hematoxylin (Beyotime Biotechnology), followed by dehydration and coverslip mounting. The antibodies used were listed in Table S2 (Supporting Information). Images were taken using Pannoramic Midi (3DHistech, Budapest, Hungary).
For H&E staining, paraffin sections from human HCC tissues and normal adjacent tissues, as well as from mice subcutaneous tumors generated in xenograft experiment (4 µm thickness) were fixed in 10% formalin and washed with 60% propylene glycerol. Samples were then stained with 0.5% hematoxylin‐eosin (Sangon Bio, Shanghai, China) for 3 min followed by dehydration and coverslip mounting. Images were taken using Pannoramic Midi (3DHistech).

Histological evaluation was carried out by two observers from different agencies. All sample mice were sacrificed on Day 7. Then, the cancer and heart tissues extracted from cancer-bearing (control), systemically DP-treated, and locally GDCP-treated mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to investigate in vivo anticancer effects and cardiotoxicity, respectively. In the cardiotoxicity assay, heart tissue in a normal mouse was extracted as a control. All tissues were fixed in 4% (v/v) formaldehyde, and dehydrated in graded ethanol series (100%, 95%, 80%, and deionized water). After embedding in paraffin, the blocked tissue was sliced to obtain 3 μm thick sections. The sections were stained with H&E according to a general staining protocol. After the staining procedures, a drop of Permount was placed on each slide and was allowed to spread beneath the coverslip. The stained slides were observed using slide scanner (Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) and panoramic viewer (Version 1.15.3; Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) program.

Fresh human HCC tissues, normal adjacent tissues, and xenografted tumors were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde for overnight prior to being embedded in paraffin and sectioned at 4 μm thickness using a cryostat. Sections were then dewaxed using xylene, rehydrated, and subjected to immunohistochemistry. Briefly, the tissue sections were incubated with primary antibodies for 1 h before being incubated with corresponding secondary antibodies conjugated with horse-radish peroxidase. Visualization was performed using a DAB Kit (DAKO, Beijing, China) under microscope. The nuclei were then counterstained with hematoxylin, followed by dehydration and coverslip mounting. Images were obtained using Pannoramic MIDI (3DHistech, Budapest, Hungary). The antibodies used were listed in S2 Table.
For hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, paraffin sections from human HCC tissues and normal adjacent tissues (4 μm thickness) were fixed in 10% formalin and washed with 60% propylene glycerol.

The formalin-fixed skin tissue containing wounds obtained at 1, 7, and 14 days after wound creation was dehydrated using a series of ethanol solutions [21 (link)]. The dehydrated tissues were embedded in paraffin and sectioned to a thickness of 3 μm using a microtome (DSC1; Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). Afterward, sectioned slides were stained using H&E and Masson’s trichrome stains. These sections were observed using a slide scanner (Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) at 2.0× and 7.0× and a panoramic viewer (Version 1.15.3; Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) program.

Removed skin tissues including incisions were immediately placed in 10% formalin solution. The fixed tissues were dehydrated using a series of ethanol solutions, and the dehydrated tissues were then embedded in paraffin for block preparation. A constant thickness of slide was sectioned (3 µm). As a control, the same thickness of paraffin slide using normal skin tissue was made. The tissue sections were treated with H&E and MT staining (Abcam: ab150686, Cambridge, UK). For immunostaining, deparaffinized tissue sections were treated using a microwave antigen-retrieval procedure with 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer. After blocking, the sections incubated with antibodies against iNOS (N-20, Santa Cruz Biochemical, Dallas, TX, USA) and mannose receptor (Abcam). For visualization, an HRP/DAB detection IHC kit (Abcam) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. These sections were observed using a slide scanner (Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) and a panoramic viewer (Version 1.15.3; Pannoramic MIDI; 3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) program.

For IHC staining, the TMAs containing 118 tumor sections and 118 adjacent normal tissue sections were obtained from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed as previously described
[25] (link), using marker antibodies anti-human C7 (ab126786; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-human C9 (ab168345; Abcam), and scanned using Pannoramic MIDI (3DHISTECH Ltd. Budapest, Hungary). In order to quantify the staining intensity, the scanned image was analyzed with the image analysis system based on artificial intelligence, which calculated the modified Histochemistry-scores as follows: H-scores=(percent of weak staining×1)+(percent of moderate staining×2)+(percent of strong staining×3)
[26] (link). Finally, the H-scores ranging from 0 to 300 were obtained.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
