ALK (D5F3) and vimentin were performed on an automated platform (Benchmark® XT, Ventana). The other stainings were performed on the platform of BOND-MAXTM. Immunohistochemical staining was individually evaluated by two independent pathologists. Both MLCs and the adjacent tumor area of the adenocarcinoma were assessed in the wholes slide.

Tissue microarray blocks of 1 mm were cut from FFPE blocks and sliced into 3 µm slides, automatically stained, and evaluated as previously described [13 (link)]. In short, the slides were deparaffinized and incubated with primary antibodies E-cadherin, Vimentin (monoclonal, ready-to-use; Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA), ZEB1, and ZEB2 (polyclonal, 1:400; Sigma-Aldrich). Counterstaining was performed with Hematoxylin II and Blueing Reagent. Next, samples were covered with a series of alcohol (70–99%), Xylol and Cytoseal XYL (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as a cover medium. Quantification of immunohistochemical staining was performed using ImageJ 1.52 (ImageJ Software, National Institutes of Health, Madison, WI, USA). Images of tissue microarrays were taken at 20× magnification with a predefined number of 1,228,800 square pixels. The Color-Threshold function was subsequently used to mark all areas previously stained by immunohistochemistry. The degree of protein expression in tissue microarrays was stated as the mean percentage of square pixels marked by ImageJ for respective images of every protein.

Immunohistochemical staining of 3 µm thick macrodissected and tissue-arrayed formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections was performed automatically using the Benchmark Ultra (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., Oro Valley, AZ, USA). This staining machine contains peroxidase, inhibitors, buffer solutions, dye and the secondary antibody (OptiView HQ Universal Linker, Ventana Medical Systems). E-cadherin, vimentin (each monoclonal, ready-to-use, Ventana Medical Systems), fibronectin (polyclonal, 1:1000, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and ZEB-1 (polyclonal, 1:400, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were used as primary antibodies. Negative controls without primary antibodies and positive controls (pancreas, tonsil, colon and kidney) were included in all experiments using the same experimental conditions. The slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and dehydrated in graded alcohols. Immunohistochemical staining was evaluated separately in stromal and epithelial tissue by two pathologists in a blinded manner using light microscopy (BX51, Olympus) [89 (link)].

Histological Analysis of BCAF Spheroids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The BCAF spheroids collected at 72 and 216 h were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Then, each spheroid was embedded in paraffin (Bio-Optica Milano SpA, Milan, Italy), sliced into serial 4 μm-thick sections and placed on poly-l-lysine-coated glass slides (Menzel-Glaser, Brunswick, Germany). The slides were deparaffinized twice in xylene, rehydrated and immersed in 10 mM of citric acid (Sigma-Aldrich), pH 6, in a microwave oven (VWR) for three cycles of 5 min at 650 Watt to exclude epitope masking owing to fixation. The spheroids deparaffinized sections were hematoxylin and eosin stained (Bio-Optica) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. These sections, on glass slides, were converted into high-resolution digital data through NanoZoomer-2.0RS digital scanner (Hamamatsu, Tokyo, Japan, Asia). Other sections were immunostained with primary antibodies against vimentin (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA), COX-2 and α-SMA (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), detected by the ULTRA View UNIVERSAL DAB DETECTION KIT (Ventana Medical Systems), according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

All surgical samples were fixed in formalin and made into paraffin blocks using standard paraffin embedding procedure. Four µm thick sections were cut from paraffin blocks, mounted on positively-charged slides. The primary antibodies used for immunohistochemical detection were E-cadherin (Ventana, Dako, clone NCH-38, predilute 1:50), N-cadherin (Ventana, Leica, clone IAR06, predilute 1:100), vimentin (Ventana, Dako, clone V9, predilute 1:400) and Ki-67 (Ventana, ready to use). Antigen retrieval was performed in a water bath for 20 min at 97 °C at pH 6 (buffer S1700, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Endogenous peroxidase activity was inhibited by immersing the sections in 3% hydrogen peroxide. After incubation with the antibody, the sections were subjected to EnVisionTM FLEX (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Finally, slides were counterstained with haematoxylin, mounted and examined.

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.
