The PCa tissues obtained from PCa patients were subjected to immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunohistofluorescence (ICF), and Hematoxylin/Eosin (H&E) staining following standard protocols. The experiments were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Catholic Medical Center, as described in the ethics explanation. IHC staining was performed as described previously [26 (link)]. Briefly, for IHC staining, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded PCa specimens were sectioned into 3-μm paraffin slices. These sections underwent deparaffinization, rehydration, and antigen unmasking. Subsequently, the tissues were incubated with primary antibodies against ELK3 (dilution 1:200; cat. #: NBP2-01264, Novus) or Brd4 (dilution 1:300; cat. #: ab128874, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4 °C overnight. After three washes with 1× PBS, the sections were exposed to biotinylated secondary antibodies for 1 h, followed by incubation with streptavidin-conjugated HRP for 55 s. Following another set of three washes with 1× PBS, ELK3, and Brd4 were visualized using an HRP/DAB detection kit (Abcam; ab64264). Finally, the tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin (cat. #: 1.05175, Sigma-Aldrich) and eosin (cat. #: 1.02439, Sigma-Aldrich). The stained target proteins were analyzed using the TissueFAXS system (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria).

Three-paired pancreatic tissues from pancreatic cancer (stage 0) and AP patients were subjected to IHC staining following a previous protocol 41 (link). In brief, the formalin-fixed tissues were sectioned at a thickness of 5 μm, followed by mounting on glass slides. After de-paraffinizing, rehydrating, quenching to remove endogenous peroxidase and antigen retrieval, the slides were incubated with anti-CtBP1 (1:100), anti-CtBP2 (1:100), anti-PCAF (1:200), anti-c-MYC (1:100), anti-IL6 (1:300), anti-IL17 (1:200), anti-DNMT1 (1:100) or anti-DNMT3a (1:100). These antibodies were the same as those used in western blotting assay. After incubating with secondary biotinylated antibodies, the signals of these proteins in tissue sections were visualized using a mouse and rabbit specific HRP/DAB detection kit (Abcam, #ab64264). The quantification of immunohistochemical scores was carried out using the histoscore (H-score) based on the definition and standards described previously.

In vivo study was conducted on four male Wister rats (age: Four-week-old, body weight: 200–220 g). The animals were anesthetized with isoflurane. A dorsal shaving was performed, and the area was disinfected with an iodine solution. A 2cm incision was made in the backs of the rats, in a head-to-tail alignment orientation. The four specimens were implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the rat. After two weeks of the implantation, the samples and surrounding tissues were retrieved from the rat. The living reaction was examined by histological evaluation, such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), immunostaining of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA). Antigen was detected using primary antibody, such as monoclonal rat anti-CD31 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and polyclonal rabbit anti-VEGFA (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in conjunction with an HRP/DAB detection kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The pre-fixed spleen samples were processed overnight using an automated tissue processor (Sakura, Japan). An embedding station (Sakura, Japan) was used for embedding the processed spleen samples in paraffin blocks. We used a rotary microtome (Leica-RM2245, Germany) for cutting 4 µm thick sections of spleen specimens. The sections were then mounted on super frosted glass slides.
The paraffinized sections were passed through xylene, ethanol (graded concentrations) and distilled water for de-paraffinization. Microwave heating of the sections for 5 min in citrate buffer was used to prime them for efficient antigen retrieval. We used a HRP/DAB Detection kit (Abcam) for immunohistochemistry. The proinflammatory cytokines’ primary antibodies were used in the following dilutions: IL-1β 1:500, IL-6 1:400, and TNF-α 1:100. The sections were incubated with primary antibodies, followed by their incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate and then with the DAB substrate. Finally, the sections were subjected to counterstaining with Mayer Hematoxylin for light microscopy examination. The immunostaining color intensity of was graded from 0 (no staining) to 5 (highest intensity and larger area) scale. The detailed protocol of immunohistochemistry has been reported earlier (Khan et al., 2017 (link)).
