Images were collected and then using PRISM software (API, USA) to process data, and finally, arranged into figures using Adobe Photoshop. The kidney sections were incubated with anti‐WT1 (1:50; Abcam; ab89901) and then with horseradish peroxidase‐labelled secondary antibody (Beyotime) for immunohistochemistry. WT1‐positive cells per glomerulus were counted by two renal pathologists in a blinded method.

The transplanted tumors were surgically removed until the tumor volume reached 100 mm3, and then fixed in 10% formalin. Then, the tumors derived from the donor’s pelvic lymph node and the transplanted tumors were subjected to routine hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and staining for other markers, including P16 (1:50, ab51243, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), P53 (1:2000, ab32389, Abcam), ER (1:800, 21244-1-AP, Proteintech), PR (1:200, 25871-1-AP, Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA), PAX8 (1:200, 10336-1-AP, Proteintech), and WT1 (1:500, ab89901, Abcam). Microscopic slides were reviewed by a senior gynecology-dedicated pathologist (Prof. Yang).
Similarly, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was conducted to assess the expression of Ki67 (1:200, AF0198, Affinity, San Francisco, CA, USA), CyclinD1 (1:250, ab134175, Abcam), Hes1 (1:200, ab108937, Abcam), N-cadherin (1:200, #13116, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), vimentin (1:200, #5741, Cell Signaling Technology) and CSF3 (1:200, 17185-1-AP, Proteintech) in the tumors extracted from mice. The kidney and liver were also removed for HE staining to evaluate the toxicity of viscera.
Finally, the expression of CSF3 in the corresponding lymph nodes samples from 10 ovarian cancer patients was evaluated by IHC. The scoring criteria for staining intensity were described in our previous research [33 (link)].

Tissue and PDTO were fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde overnight. After embedding PDTO in 2% agarose, tissue and PDTO were dehydrated, paraffin embedded, and sectioned before standard hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E). Automated immunohistochemistry using a Ventana Discovery XT autostainer (Roche) was performed on 4 µm-thick paraffin sections. Slides were deparaffinized with EZPrep buffer and epitopes were unmasked by 15 min of high-temperature treatment in CC1 EDTA buffer. Sections were incubated for 40 min at 37°C with an anti PAX8 (ab191870, Abcam, 1/500), p53 (ab16665, Abcam, 1/100), WT1 (ab89901, Abcam, 1/300), HNF1β (ab213149, Abcam, 1/2000), Ki67 antibody (NCL-Ki67p, Novocastra, 1/500) or Napsin A (ab133249, Abcam, 1/2000). Secondary antibody (Omnimap Rabbit HRP; Ventana Medical System Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA) was incubated for 16 min at room temperature. Immunodetection performed without the primary antibody was used as control. After washes, the staining was performed with DAB (3, 3'-diaminobenzidine) and sections were counterstained with hematoxylin using Ventana reagents according to the manufacturer's protocol. Stained slides were then digitized using an Aperio ScanScope slide scanner (Aperio Technologies).

Tissue sections were labeled using Wilms Tumor 1 (WT 1) (Abcam, ab89901)
as a primary antibody with Alexa Fluor 594 (Abcam, ab 150129, ex/ em (nm):

40X, NA = 1.4, Nuance EX Multispectral Imaging Camera, Leica Microsystems,
Buffalo Grove, Il) was used to capture red/green/blue (RGB) whole slide images
(WSIs). The completed sample preparation and staining procedure was consistent

Serial 4-μm-thick sections from uninflamed and inflamed regions of each block of stricture were taken to perform the following immunohistochemical analyses, as previously described44 (link). For double stains, tissue specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in paraffin and 3-μm sections were used for immunohistochemistry.
Immunohistochemistry was performed using VENTANA DISCOVERY ULTRA from Roche. This system allows for automated baking, deparaffinization and cell conditioning. Semiautomatic dual staining was performed sequentially using WT1 at a 1:25 dilution (abcam ab89901) during 60 min. An automated one drop of a prediluted secondary antibody Discovery OMNIMap anti-rabbit-HRP from Roche (760–4310) was used and the signal was obtained using Discovery ChromoMap DAB RUO from Roche (760–2513) (brown signal). PDGFRA (Thermofisher TA804956) was used at a 1:50 dilution during 60 min and after this, secondary antibody (Discovery OMNIMap anti-mouse-NP from Roche (760–4816)) positive signal was obtained using Discovery Purple Kit (760–229)(purple signal). Tissues were counterstained with haematoxylin to visualize the nuclei.

Total protein from the kidney tissues was isolated after being lysed by RIPA buffer (01408, Beyotime Biotechnology, China) containing PMSF, protease, and protein phosphatase inhibitor for 30 min on ice. All samples were centrifuged at 12000 g for 15 min (4°C). Protein concentration was determined using the BCA assay kit (P0012, Beyotime Biotechnology, China). An equal amount of protein (40 μg) was subjected to 8–10% SDS-PAGE gel and then transferred to PVDF membranes (162–0177, BIO-RAD, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% BSA and incubated overnight with the following antibodies at 4°C: antinephrin (ab216341, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) (ab89901, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Aquaporin 1 (ab168387, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-GAPDH (EM1101, Huaan Biotechnology, Hangzhou, China). After incubating with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (goat anti-rabbit-antibody, LI-COR Biosciences, USA), the protein expression bands were developed with chemiluminescence. The densitometry of the brands was then calculated using the Odyssey near-infrared dual-color laser imaging system (Odyssey Clx, LI-COR Biosciences, USA).

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.
