Livers from control mice and SL4‐injected mice were harvested and then paraffin‐sectioned and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for morphological observation. For immunohistochemistry staining, the livers sections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, incubated with the primary antibodies against Mac‐2 (1:200), Ki67(1:200), CD31(1:200), and TGFβ (1:200), and then incubated with the Dako ChemMateTM EnVision System (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) for 30 minutes. Staining was visualized with use of diaminobenzidine and counterstaining with haematoxylin.

Specimens were fixed for 24 hrs with 10% buffered formalin before embedding in paraffin. Serial sections of 5 μm thick were obtained for histologic analysis. Hematoxylin&eosin (HE) staining involved standard procedures.
For immunohistochemistry, sections were incubated with the primary antibodies for Cat S (1:200), CD68 (1:200), Ki-67 (1:200), CD31 (1:200), Mac-2 (1:200), then incubated with the Dako ChemMateTM EnVision System (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) for 30 min. Staining was visualized with use of diaminobenzidine and counterstaining with hematoxylin. Negative controls were omission of the primary antibody, non-immune IgG or secondary antibody only; in all cases, negative controls showed insignificant staining. The expressions of Cat S, CD68, Ki-67, CD31, Mac-2 were calculated as proportion of positive area to total tissue area for all measurements of the section.
For double immunofluorescence, 7 μm frozen tissue sections were permeabilized and blocked with 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.2% bovine serum albumin, and 5% normal donkey serum in PBS, then incubated with the primary antibodies F4/80 (1:100), LC-3 (1:200) and Cat S (1:200) overnight at 4°C, then FITC or TRITC-conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA) at 4°C for 1 hr in the dark, and coverslipped with DAPI-containing mounting medium.

Human aortic samples were fixed in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 5 μm intervals. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using established methods [17 (link)]. To remove the paraffin, sections were treated with xylene and rehydrated. Then, they were incubated with 3% H2O2 for 10 min at room temperature and washed 3 times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After blocking with serum for 30 min, the sections were incubated with primary antibodies against YAP (1 : 1000 dilution, Cell Signaling), α- smooth muscle actin (α-SMA, 1 : 500 dilution, Sigma), Bcl-2 (1 : 1000 dilution, Cell Signaling), and cleaved caspase-3 (1 : 300 dilution, Cell Signaling), followed by incubation with the ChemMate EnVision System (Dako). ImageProPlus 3.0 (ECIPSE80i/90i) was used to capture the images and analyze the results. For cryostat sections, human and mouse aortic samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in optimum cutting temperature (OCT) compound, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and sectioned at 5 μm intervals. DeadEnd Fluorometric TUNEL (Promega) was used to detect the apoptotic cells. Apoptotic VSMCs were detected by TUNEL and α-SMA double staining before confocal fluorescence microscopy analysis (Leica Microsystems).

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin sections was performed using the ChemMate EnVision system (Dako) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Deparaffinized and rehydrated sections were immersed in 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 30 min at room temperature to block endogenous peroxidase activities. For SOX9, K17 and Ki-67 immunostaining, antigen retrieval was performed by first autoclaving sections in citric acid buffer (pH 6.0) at 121°C for 10 min. To analyze the stromal expression of perlecan, the sections were incubated with hyaluronidase (Type IS, 330 UI/ml; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) for 30 min prior to immunostaining. After antigen retrieval, the sections were incubated with 5% milk protein in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 30 min and then with the primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS, the sections were reacted with EnVision (Dako) for 60 min at room temperature. Peroxidase reaction products were developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine, and the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. In the control experiments, the primary antibodies were replaced with the appropriate negative control immunoglobulin (cat. no. X0931 for mouse IgG1 and cat. no. X0903 for rabbit Ig fraction; Dako).

Cell apoptosis was detected using a commercial DeadEnd Fluorometric TUNEL Kit (Promega, Madison, WI). Costaining of Tunel with α-SMA or CD31 was performed to detect apoptotic SMC or apoptotic EC prior to confocal fluorescence microscopy analysis (Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, IL).
HE staining was performed as described elsewhere. Elastin staining involved the use of an Elastic Fiber Staining Kit (Maixin Bio, Fuzhou, China) as described recently [5 (link)]. All images were further analyzed using ImageProPlus 3.0 (ECIPSE80i/90i).

Immunohistochemistry staining of the paraffin sections was performed using the ChemMate EnVision system (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). The sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated in ethanol. Antigens were retrieved by boiling the sections in 0.5 M EDTA (pH 8) using a pressure cooker for 10 min and under high pressure for 3 min. After cooling to RT, endogenous peroxidase was blocked by incubating the sections with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min. The sections were incubated with the primary antibody anti-CAV1 (1:400; D46G3 rabbit, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) at 4 °C overnight. After washing with TBS, the sections were incubated with EnVision Plus (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) at RT for 30 min. The signals were developed using 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), and the sections were counterstained using hematoxylin.

Immunohistochemistry was performed using the ChemMate Envision system (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), as described elsewhere1 (link)–3 (link). For K10, K13, K17, and K19, sections were pretreated as previously described2 (link),21 (link). For cleaved caspase 3 (caspase 3) and CD68, sections were autoclaved at 121 °C for 10 min in Tris–EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) and citric acid buffer (pH 6.0), respectively. For CD31, sections were pre-treated with 0.2% trypsin (type II, Sigma Chemical Co, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 0.01 M Tris–HCl (pH 7.6) containing 0.1% CaCl2 for 30 min at 37 °C. For the control experiments, the primary antibodies were replaced with pre-immune IgGs. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was performed as described elsewhere4 (link). K17+ speckles were compared with Civatte bodies seen in serial HE-stained sections.

Was performed immunohistochemical staining using the rabbit or mouse DAKO ChemMate EnVision system and a Peroxidase/DAB kit (DAKO, Carpinteria, California). The sample containing paraffin was sliced into serial sections with a width of 5.0 μm. Each section was deparaffinized for 1 hour at 60°C in xylene and rehydrated in serial-graded ethanol before being stored overnight in citrate buffer (0.01 M; pH 6.0) at 75°C for antigen retrieval. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol. The sections were incubated at 4°C overnight with a primary antibody and then recovered at 37°C for 20 minutes. The slides were incubated with the secondary antibody for 30 minutes at room temperature and then were developed by DAB. Nuclear staining was carried out with hematoxylin. Phosphate-buffered saline was added as the primary antibody in the negative control. Normal esophageal tissue, serving as the negative controls, and esophageal cancer tissue (known to express PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway proteins) serving as positive controls were processed in the same way. However, normal esophageal tissue serves as the positive controls, and esophageal cancer tissue serves as negative controls for PTEN.

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.
