The colorectal cancer tissue microarray used in this study was purchased from Zhuoli Biotech (#COC1504, http://www.zhuolibiotech.com/, Shanghai, China). For immunohistochemical analysis, paraffin-embedded tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through descending concentrations of ethanol. Then antigen retrieval was performed by boiling in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 10 min, followed by treatment with 3% hydrogen peroxide to block endogenous peroxidase. After washing with 1 × PBS for three times, the sections were incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. The antibodies used for immunohistochemistry were listed as follows: PIPKIγ (1: 200, Proteintech, 27,640-1-AP), PCNA (1:5000, Cell Signaling Technology, #13110), HIF1α (1: 300, Abcam, ab113642), c-Myc (1: 500, Abcam, ab32072), GLUT1 (1:200, Proteintech, 21,829-1-AP), LDHA (1:200, Proteintech, 19,987-1-AP), and PDK1 (1:200, Proteintech, 10,026-1-AP). The next day, the HRP-conjugated secondary antibody was added for 45 min at room temperature. The immunoreactivity was developed by 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Finally, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin and scoring was evaluated by two investigators blinded to the clinical information.

For evaluation of staining score of RASA1 (ab40677, abcam, 1:50), we applied modified Histo-score (H-score) method, which in brief was a semi-quantitative assessment of both fraction of positive cells (0–1) and intensity of staining (no 0, weak 1, moderate 2, or strong 3). The H-scores ranged from 0 to 3, which were obtained by multiplying the fraction and intensity scores.

For evaluation of the percent of CD34+ PD-L1+ vessels in tumor tissues. All patient sections were double-stained with anti-CD34 antibody (ZA-0550, ZSGB-BIO) and anti-PD-L1 antibody (66248-1-lg, Proteintech) using a double-staining kit (DS-0001, ZSGB-BIO). First, the most-abundant sites of blood vessels were selected under fourfold magnification of microscope, and four sites were randomly selected under a 40-fold objective lens, and the proportion of PD-L1+ CD34+ cells in all CD34+ vessels was calculated and averaged. The average percentage was used as the final result for each section. To evaluate the positive expression of VEGFA (ab1316, Abcam) and hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF-1α) (ab113642, Abcam), stained sections were digitally analyzed at ×400 resolution using an Olympus BX-UCB.

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.
