Liver sections from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or picrosirius red to evaluate fibrosis. Fibrosis quantification was performed using Image J (NIH). Optimal cutting temparature compound (OCT)-embedded frozen liver sections were stained with Oil Red O to assess steatosis. For immunohistochemistry, sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-CD68 (Cell Signaling Technology, 97778S), anti-MPO (Abcam, ab9545) or anti-4 hydroxynonenal (4HNE, Abcam, ab46545) primary antibodies. Antibody detection was performed using SignalStain Boost IHC Detection reagent (HRP rabbit, Cell Signaling Technology, 8114S) and immunoreactivity was visualized using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) as a substrate (Cell Signaling Technology, 8059S). Nuclear counterstain was performed using haematoxylin. Stained sections were imaged with a 10X objective using a Nikon Ni-U microscope. CD68-and MPO-positive cells were quantified using QuPath (Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology, Belfast, UK17 (link)).

Tumor tissue sections extracted from MMTV-PyMT mice were fixed with 4% (v/v) paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. After incubating with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, endogenous peroxidases in the samples were oxidized by exposure to 0.3% H2O2 in TBS for 15 min at room temperature. Samples were then incubated with secondary antibody, horseradish peroxidase–conjugated anti-rabbit goat antibody (611-103-122, Rockland Immunochemicals, Limerick, PA, USA) at 1:400 diluted in TBS with 10% (v/v) FBS and 10% goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature. Samples were then incubated with 3,3’-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) (Cell Signaling Technology) for signal development and with Mayer’s hematoxylin for counterstaining. After dehydration and mounting, tissue sections were then digitalized using the Leica SCN400 Slide Scanner. Signal intensity and percentage of the signal-positive area were quantified with Leica Digital Image Hub.
