Paraffin-embedding, sectioning, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson’s trichrome stainings as well as immunohistochemical staining of PDX specimens were performed by the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center Pathology Core Facility. Tumor sections were stained with anti-Cytokeratin 19 ((CK-19), #ab76539; Abcam), anti-Ki-67 (#GA626; Dako), anti-cleaved caspase 3 ((CC3, #9661; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-pan-RAS ((RAS), #PA5–85947; Thermo Fisher Scientific) and anti-Phospho-p44/42 MAPK ((ERK1/2) (Thr202/Tyr204, (D13.14.4E) XP, #4370; Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies as described previously 20 . Primary antibodies were detected using the appropriate secondary antibodies and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) revelation (Dako).
All slides were scanned using a Nanozoomer HT slide scanner (Hamamatsu). Quantification of positively immunostained cells was performed using customized Application Protocol Packages (APPs) within the VIS image analysis software (Visiopharm). Positive cells were counted in the whole tumor sections and expressed as the percentage ratio over the area of the whole section. Because the pattern of cytoplasmic RAS staining was diffuse, we quantified RAS signal intensity by color deconvolution using ImageJ (Fiji version) as previously described 29 .

Animals were anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine and perfused transcardially with saline followed by 4% paraformaldehyde. The brains were removed and postfixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 2 h and cyroprotected in 30% sucrose overnight. Sections (12 µm) were cut on a cryostat (Leica) and mounted onto charged slides. Sections were blocked in PBS/5% BSA and permeabilized with PBS/0.3% Triton X-100, and then exposed to primary antibodies overnight at 4°C in PBS/1% BSA. Slides were then washed three times in PBS, exposed to secondary antibodies coupled to different fluorophores at room temperature for 1 h in the dark. Sections were washed again three times, with 4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Sigma; 1:10,000) present in the final wash. Sections were coverslipped with antifading medium (ProLong Gold; Invitrogen) and analyzed by fluorescence microscopy (Nikon). Primary antibodies used are as follows: anti-p75 (1:500; R&D Systems, RRID:AB_2298561) and anti-cleaved caspase-3 (CC3; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, RRID:AB_2069869).

Tisues were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin according to standard protocols. IHC was performed with antibodies for anti-cleaved caspase-3 (CC3) and p-Histone H3 (S10) (pHH3) (Cell Signaling Technology).
A tissue microarray (TMA), containing specimens retrieved from human MPNSTs (n=207), neurofibromas (n=56) and normal nerves (n=11) surgical resections, was used to assess phospho-PAK1/2/3 levels. Tissue sections were blocked for 20 minutes and heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed in pH 6 Citrate Buffer for 20 minutes. Endogenous peroxidases were quenched with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 10 minutes. The sections were incubated overnight with phopho-PAK1/2/3 primary antibodies (Abcam) at 4°C. Anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (Dako) were incubated for 1 h at room temperature and visualized using DAB+ chromogen (Dako). Images were captured using the Vectra Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System and analyzed using inForm image analysis software (PerkinElmer, Caliper Life Sciences).
All human subject studies were approved by respective institutional review boards.

Multidimensional Histological Analysis of Tumors

Samples were stained with both standard hematoxylin and eosin (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) (HE) and Masson trichrome (MT) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) dyes. The HE-stained sections were used to quantify vital, necrotic, and fibrotic tissue fractions. The necrotic and fibrotic fractions were calculated as a percentage of the overall tissue area across each section. For this purpose, at least 10 different fields were investigated at a 400 × magnification.
Immunohistochemical analysis of tumors was performed using anti-γH2AX [rabbit polyclonal; Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA), No. 2577, 1:50 in 1% BSA diluted in phosphate saline buffer], anti–cleaved caspase 3 (CC3) [rabbit polyclonal; Cell Signaling Technology, No. 9661, 1:100 in 1% phosphate-buffered saline with bovine serum albumin], and anti–Ki-67 probes (Dako (Glostrup, Denmark); 1:100). For evaluation of the amount of lipids, frozen sections were mounted on glass slides and stained with Oil Red O (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). All histopathology was evaluated by an experienced pathologist in a blinded study setting. The pathology findings were used to cross-validate the longitudinal changes in the optical end-points.

Brains harvested from mice were post-fixed overnight in 4% PFA, cryoprotected in 30% sucrose, processed for OCT embedding and sectioned at 40 μm as previously described [33 (link)]. For immunohistochemistry, standard methods with antigen retrieval in sodium citrate were used [34 (link)]. Antibodies used in this study included: anti-Olig2 (Millipore 1:500), anti-myelin basic protein (MBP; Millipore 1:500), anti-Cleaved Caspase 3 (CC3; Cell Signaling 1:500), and anti-Nkx2.2 (Iowa Hybridoma 1:50). Immunoreactivity was detected by incubation with appropriate Alexa-conjugated secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes—Life Technologies). Images of brain sections were captured using a Nikon NIE fluorescent microscope. The number of immune-positive cells per 100 μm2 area was quantified using Nikon Elements analysis software. Statistical significance was determined using Student’s t-test and presented as mean cells per field. All studies were blinded and performed on coded sections (n = 6 hypoxic + 6 normoxic animals for IHC and Western blotting (each)).

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.
