Microvessel density in the xenograft tumour samples was analysed by immunohistochemistry using the anti-CD31 antibody (DIA-310, Dianova). The area of α-SMA-positive CAFs in the xenograft tumour samples was analysed by immunohistochemistry using an anti-α-SMA antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (A5691, Sigma). The area of Ki67-positive cancer cells in the xenograft tumour samples was analysed by immunohistochemistry using an anti-Reticular Fibroblasts and Reticular Fibres (ER-TR7) antibody (ab51824; Abcam). The overall stroma area in the xenograft tumour samples was analysed by immunohistochemistry using an anti-Ki-67 antibody (#12202; Cell Signaling Technology). Immunostained slides were scanned using the Vectra 2 Automated Slide Imaging System (Perkin Elmer), and quantification of the whole tumour was performed using the inForm 2 software (Perkin Elmer). The area of the tumour region was measured by assessing the haematoxylin-stained area.

For H&E, Masson’s trichrome, and FAH stains, tissue samples were fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin (Azer Scientific, Morgantown, PA, USA), paraffin embedded, and sectioned (5 μm). Standard stains were performed with established protocols, whereas IHC for Ki-67 was performed using monoclonal mouse anti-Ki-67 M7240 (Dako, Santa Clara, CA, USA), and FAH was performed as previously described.47 (link) Images were quantified in Aperio ImageScope. For all other IHC stains, tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 4 h, infiltrated with 30% sucrose overnight, and embedded in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound for sectioning (5–7 μm). Sections were washed with PBS, blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 min, incubated with primary antibody for 1 h and secondary antibody for 30 min, and counterstained with Hoechst. Images were captured with an Olympus IX71 microscope. The following primary antibodies were used: ER-TR7 and glutamine synthetase cytokeratin 7 (ab51824, ab64613, ab9021; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA); CD31 (MCA1746GA; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA); cytokeratin 18 (ab668, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA); and 10830-1-AP, Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA); and cytokeratin 19 (ab84632; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA).

Cells (8×103) were seeded on 10×10 mm coverslips and cultured for 12 hours before staining. Primary antibodies included: rat anti-mouse ER-TR7 (ab51824, Abcam); rabbit anti-mouse CD31 (ab28364, Abcam), vimentin (ab45939, Abcam), FSP-1 (ab27957, Abcam) and CD45 (550539, BD Biosciences); and mouse monoclonal antibody α-SMA (ab5694, Abcam). Secondary antibodies were conjugated with Alexa Fluor 555 or Alexa Fluor 488 (Invitrogen) and nuclei counterstained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Sigma-Aldrich). Slides were assessed by confocal microscopy (FV1000) and images analyzed using the FV10-ASW1.7 Viewer software (both Olympus). Paraffin sections of mouse or human tissues were stained with rabbit anti-mouse TTL (SAB1103321, Sigma-Aldrich) or detyrosinated α-tubulin (ab3201, Millipore) using diaminobenzidine histochemistry kits (Invitrogen). Slides were assessed by brightfield microscopy (DP71, Olympus) and images analyzed using the Image-Pro Plus software (Media Cybernetics).

After the last in vivo imaging time point (24 h), U87 tumors and organs (liver, kidneys, and spleen) were harvested (n = 3) and embedded in Tissue-Tek® O.C.T. (Sakura), frozen quickly with 2-methylbutane (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and maintained at −80 °C. Sections were cut using a cryostat (Leica CM1950; Leica Microsystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL, USA) at 8 µm, fixed with cold acetone for 5 min, and stored at −20 °C. The tumor microenvironment in glioblastoma xenografts was analyzed by immunofluorescence (IF), staining with DAPI (0.2 μg/mL) and the following antibodies: rabbit anti-vimentin antibody (2.68 μg/mL, ab92547, Abcam), secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 488 chicken anti-rabbit (4 μg/mL, A-21441, Life Invitrogen); Alexa Fluor 488 Rat anti-mouse F4/80 antibody (10 μg/mL, 123,120, Biolegend); Armenian hamster anti-CD31 antibody (6.7µg/mL, MA3105, Invitrogen) and Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-hamster (2.5 μg/mL, 405,512, Biolegend); rat anti-reticular fibroblast and reticular fiber antibody (4 μg/mL, ab51824, Abcam) and cyanine3 goat anti-rat (2.5 μg/mL, 405,408, Biolegend).

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.
