Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The LUAD-tissue samples were obtained from Shanghai Zhuoli Biotechnology Co., Ltd (Zhuoli Biotechnology Co, Shanghai, China). The IHC staining in this study was followed by previous report [31] (link). Briefly, after deparaffinizing and hydrating, the sections with four micrometers thick were incubated with the anti-TXNIP (1:200,proteintech,18243-1-AP), anti-GPX4(1:200,ABclonal,A1933), anti-NCOA4(1:200,ABclonal,A5695) primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight followed by incubation with secondary antibodies and diaminobenzidine(DAB) (Maixin,DAB-0031) staining. The expressions of positive cells were analyzed by ImageJ software and the percentage of positive cells (including high positive and positive cells) was scored as 0 (no positive cells), 1 (≤10 % of positive cells), 2 (11 %∼50 % of positive cells), or 3 (>50 % of positive cells). The staining intensity was scored as 0 (negative), 1+ (weakly positive), 2+ (moderately positive), or 3+ (strongly positive). The final expression scores of TXNIP,GPX4 and NCOA4 were evaluated by combining the staining intensity and the percentage of positive cells. High expression in tumor cells was defined as total scored≥2 and low expression was defined as total score<2.

PGC antibody (anti-pepsinogen C antibody, product name 2D5) was kindly provided by the Institute of Clinical Examination of Japan. MG7 monoclonal antibody was kindly provided by the Digestive Disease Research Laboratory of the Fourth Military Medical University (Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases). Immunohistochemical staining was performed using the two-step streptavidin-peroxidase method (Maixin, Kit-9801D2, Fuzhou, China).
Four-μm-thick tissue sections from paraffin-embedded tissues were mounted onto poly-L-lysine-coated glass slides and then baked at 70 °C overnight. The tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated in ethanol, and then immersed in citrate buffer for antigen retrieval. Endogenous peroxidase was quenched using 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min. To decrease nonspecific staining, 2% normal non-immune animal serum was subsequently used to block tissue collagen for 10 min. The tissue sections were then incubated at 4 °C overnight with either the PGC or MG7 antibodies (5 μg/mL) or phosphate buffer solution (PBS) alone. Next, the sections were incubated with biotinylated anti-mouse secondary antibody for 30 min and then washed with PBS. The slides were stained with diaminobenzidine chromogenic reagent (DAB-0031, Maixin Inc.) for 3−10 min, and the reaction was stopped with water.

Three-year-old sika deer (Cervus Nippon) (n = 3) were used in this study and one antler was collected from each animal (ethics number: CAAS201415). The antler was harvested using traditional Chinese antler harvesting procedures at around 35 days of growth, which is approximately half way through the antler growth stage. The distal 5-cm tip of the main beam of each antler was collected and sectioned sagittally along the median plane [20 (link)]. Samples were then fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma, China, 158,127-500G) and processed for histology as previously described [21 (link)]. Immunohistochemistry was performed on the sagittal sections of paraffin-embedded antler tips. After being deparaffinized with xylene, endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with 0.3% H2O2, and antigen retrieval was performed with 0.01 M citric acid at 95 °C for 20 min. Sections were then incubated with anti-TMSB10 antibody or anti-rabbit IgG (isotype control) overnight at 4 °C (antibody information is shown in Table 1). After warming and rinsing, sections were incubated with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody for 30 min at 37 °C. Finally, sections were stained with diaminobenzidine (Maixin, China, DAB-0031) and counterstained with hematoxylin.
