Histological and Immunohistochemical Analysis

Primary tumors, hearts, livers, lungs and kidneys were fixed overnight, embedded in paraffin and then cut into serial sections (4-μm thick). The sections were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Representative images were acquired using a microscope (Leica). For immunohistochemical staining, slides were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated with graded alcohol and incubated in 3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity. The slides were boiled for 30 min in 10 mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) for antigen retrieval and then blocked in 5% BSA for 30 min, followed by incubation with antibodies against p-eif2α and ERO1-Lα at the appropriate dilution at 4 °C overnight in a humidity chamber. Afterward, the slides were washed three times with PBS and then incubated with secondary antibodies for 30 min at room temperature. Immunoreactivity was visualized using a Vectastain Elite DAB Kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA).

Immunostaining analyses were performed as previously described47 (link). Briefly, uterine sections were incubated
with appropriate primary antibodies, anti-MIG-6 (Customized antibody by Dr. Jeong Lab),
anti-pSTAT3 (CS-9131; Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), anti-STAT3 (CS-4904; Cell Signaling,
Danvers, MA), and anti-Ki67 (ab15580; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), in 10% normal goat
serum in PBS overnight at 4°C. For immunohistochemistry, sections were incubated
with secondary antibody (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and detected using the
Vectastain Elite DAB kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). For immunofluorescence,
sections were incubated with secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated
anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen Crop., Carlsbad, CA) for 2 hours at RT. Then, sections were
mounted with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) to enable nuclear visualization.
The immunohistochemical staining intensities were graded by H-Score. The H-score was
calculated as previous reported48 (link).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Samples

Formalin-fixed tissue samples were embedded in paraffin and 4-μm sections were cut. Primary tumors, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney sections were stained with H&E for routine histological examinations and morphometric analysis. For immunohistochemical staining, slides were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated with graded alcohol and incubated in 3% hydrogen peroxide to block the endogenous peroxidase activity. Antigen retrieval was performed by boiling the slides in 10 mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) for 30 min. Then slides were blocked in 10% normal goat serum for 15 min, followed by incubation with p-ERK, and cleaved caspase-3 at 4 °C overnight in a moist chamber. On the next day, slides were washed in PBS and incubated with the second antibody for 1 h at room temperature. Immunoreactivity was detected using the Vectastain Elite DAB KIT (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA).

Immunohistochemical Staining of Paraffin-Embedded Tissues

Fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues were cut at 5 μm, mounted on slides, deparaffinized, and rehydrated in a graded alcohol series. For hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E), slides were sequentially submerged in hematoxylin, 0.25% HCL, 1% lithium carbonate, and eosin, followed by dehydration and mounting. Immunostaining was performed as previously described (22 (link)) with specific commercially available primary antibodies (Table S1). For IHC, biotinylated secondary antibodies (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) were used, followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and developing using the Vectastain Elite DAB kit (Vector Laboratories). For immunofluorescence, appropriate species-specific fluorescently tagged secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were used before mounting with DAPI (Vector Laboratories) for imaging. To compare the IHC staining intensities, a semiquantitative grade (H-score) was calculated by adding the percentage of strongly stained nuclei (3x), the percentage of moderately stained nuclei (2x), and the percentage of weakly stained nuclei (1x) in a region of approximately 100 cells, giving a possible range of 0–300. The percentage of Ki67-positive cells was counted in representative fields of approximately 150 epithelial cells and 150 stromal cells.

The tissue specimens were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, then embedded in paraffin and sectioned. The tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated with gradient alcohol, and boiled in sodium citrate for 30 min for antigen retrieval. Then, the tissue sections were blocked in 10% normal goat serum for 15 min and incubated with the primary antibodies against Ki-67 overnight at 4 °C. We washed the tissue sections in PBST and incubated them with the secondary antibody for 2 h at room temperature.

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.
