For IHC staining, the decalcified mouse leg tissue samples were prepared as above. Cryostat sectioning was performed on the frozen tissue samples to obtain about 5 µm-thick tissue sections, which were left at room temperature overnight. The tissue sections were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min and then the sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with rabbit anti-α-SMA antibody (1:500; Cat. #ab124964, Abcam; Waltham, MA, USA), rabbit anti-TGF-β1 antibody (1:500; Cat. #ab215715, Abcam; Waltham, MA, USA), rabbit anti-Scx antibody (1:500; Cat. #ab58655, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA), or rabbit anti-HMGB1 antibody (1:330; Cat. #ab18256, Abcam; Waltham, MA, USA). The positively stained results were tested using a rabbit-specific HRP/DAB IHC detection kit (Cat. #ab236466; Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA).
For AMPK activation testing, the fixed tissue sections were treated with 0.1% Triton X-100 at 37 °C for 30 min, then washed with PBS 3 times. The treated tissue sections were incubated with rabbit anti-AMPK antibody (1:500, Cat. #MA5-15815, ThermoFisher Scientific; Waltham, MA, USA) or with rabbit anti-phospho-AMPK antibody (1:500, Cat. #ab133448, Abcam; Waltham, MA, USA) at 4 °C overnight. The staining results were further tested using a rabbit-specific HRP/DAB IHC detection kit (Cat. #ab236466; Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA).

Liver and adipose tissues were fixed in 4% formalin and embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound or paraffin. Oil red O staining or H&E staining was performed as descried previously.45 (link) The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase–mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling assay was performed using an In-Situ Cell Death Detection Fluorescein kit (11684795910; Roche, St. Louis MO). Sirius red staining was performed using Picro Sirius Red Solution (ab246832; Abcam, Cambridge, MA). For immunostaining, sections were incubated with a rabbit anti–cleaved caspase-3 antibody (Asp175, 5A1E; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) or UCP1 (10983; Abcam) overnight at 4°C and then incubated with a horseradish-peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibody using a mouse- and rabbit-specific horseradish-peroxidase/3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetra hydrochloride immunohistochemistry detection kit micropolymer (ab236466; Abcam). Hematoxylin was used for the counterstaining of nuclei.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections were obtained from breast cancer patients. The antigen unmasking was performed using the PT Link module (Dako, Denmark) in T/E buffer (pH 9.0). Immunohistochemical staining was performed using monoclonal rabbit anti-CD163 (1:500, ab182422, Abcam) and visualized using the Polymer-HRP detection system (ab236466, Abcam, USA). The staining results were acquired by a Carl Zeiss Axio Lab.A1 light microscope (Jenamed, Carl Zeiss, Germany) and assessed as the percentage of area occupied by positive stromal cells over the total intratumoral stromal area (according to Salgado et al.) (31 (link)). Cells outside of the tumor border and around DCIS and normal lobules, as well as in tumor zones with crush artifacts, necrosis, and regressive hyalinization, were excluded.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Ovarian Cancer

Cytospins were prepared with cellularized tumor cells for immunohistochemical studies, as described previously.28 Then, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS for 30 min, and blocked with 5% normal goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. The cytospins were then incubated at 4°C overnight with primary rabbit/mouse monoclonal antibodies generated against the following proteins: WT1, a protein that is expressed at high levels in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (1:600, ab89901, Abcam, Cambridge, UK); MUC16, a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed at high levels in over 80% of patients with ovarian cancer; CA125 (1:2000, ab110640, Abcam); and Ki67, as an indicator of tumor proliferation (1:400, ab245113, Abcam). Subsequently, a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab236466, Abcam) was applied for 10 min at room temperature; a mouse-specific reagent was incubated for 10 min prior to this step if a mouse primary antibody had been applied. Immunoreactive signals were visualized by incubation in diaminobenzidine (DAB) for 5 min. Finally, we captured images with a microscope (Leica DMI3000 B, Germany) and edited them with Photoshop (Adobe, USA).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of p62 in Tumors

IHC was performed as mentioned earlier59 (link). Briefly, 5-µm thick sections of tumors were deparaffinised, hydrated, and treated with peroxide (Abcam, UK ab236466), which was followed by heat induced epitope retrieval in sodium isocitrate buffer (pH 8 for p62). For p62, antigen retrieval was carried at 120 °C for 6 min in a pressure cooker. The sections were then incubated with the protein blocking reagent (Abcam, UK) and treated with anti-p62 (Abcam, UK; 1:100; 4 °C for overnight). The sections were further treated with the secondary antibodies and developed using HRP-conjugated DAB substrate (Abcam, UK). Grading was done based on the intensity and the extent of positivity as scored by an experienced pathologist.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The organs of the mice (lung and spleen) were collected after euthanasia and prepared for histopathological examination. Tissues were fixed in buffered 10% neutral formalin, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin wax, and sectioned on a microtome at a thickness of 4 μm. Tissue sections from the organs of all mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). A Warthin–Starry (WS) silver staining kit (010270, Diapath S.p.A., Martinengo, Italy) was used for the proof of bacteria. Masson’s trichrome staining was performed to stain collagen connective tissue. In addition, immunohistochemistry was conducted on the samples to confirm the presence of macrophages (CD11b+). For this, rabbit monoclonal anti-CD11b antibody (1/4000 dilution, ab133357, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) and a Specific HRP/DAB IHC detection kit micropolymer (ab236466, Abcam) were used according to the manufacturer’s conditions.

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.
