Tumor sections (three for each tumor) were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) as described (36 (link)). HE stained tumor tissues were examined with a microscope at 400 × magnification.
Tumor sections (five for each tumor) were immunostained with antibodies for cleaved caspase-3 and CD3 expression. Rabbit anti-mouse cleaved caspase-3 antibody and rabbit anti-mouse CD3ε antibody (1:200 dilution) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). The sections were treated with antigen retrieval solution followed by 3% hydrogen peroxide treatment, blocked with 5% goat serum, incubated with primary antibody and with biotin-labeled secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit; 1:1,000 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The stained tissues were visualized by using the DAB chromogen (Abcam) reagent and counterstained with hematoxylin. For quantification of immunohistochemical staining, positive cell percentages were counted in five random 400 × microscopic fields for each tissue section.

All experimental steps were performed in accordance to the protocols recommended for the anti-human ADAMTS1, 8, 9, and 18 polyclonal antibodies (Abcam). After being deparaffinised at 65°C in a heat chamber and rehydrated, sections were subjected to epitope retrieval in 10× EDTA buffer (pH 8.0) at 110°C for 30 min. Subsequently, the sections were exposed to 3% H2O2 for 20 min to bleach endogenous peroxidases and were rinsed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min. Sections were respectively incubated with a rabbit anti-human ADAMTSs (all 1 : 250 in BSA) for 1 h at 37°C, washed three times in PBS, and incubated in a biotinylated goat secondary anti-mouse polyclonal antibody for 15 min at 37°C. Following being washed in PBS, the tissues were visualised with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB chromogen, Abcam) and counterstained with haematoxylin. Finally, the sections were dehydrated in graded ethanol, immersed in xylene, and coverslipped. All images were acquired using a 40× objective and an microscope (Leica).

For both IHC and immunofluorescence (IF), 4-μm paraffin sections were deparaffinized with xylene. Slides were rehydrated using decreasing concentrations of ethanol. Antigen retrieval was performed at 121°C with the slides in either EDTA Ph9 or Citrate Ph6. Primary antibodies for GFPT2 (1:500; ph9; ab190966; Abcam), PU.1 (1:50; ph6; 554268; BD Biosciences), CD68 mouse (1:200; ph9; ab955; Abcam), CD68 rabbit (1:200; ph9; 76437S; Cell Signaling Technology), MMP9 (1:1,000; ph9; HPA001238; Millipore Sigma), YAP1 (1:1,200; ph6; sc-101199; Santa Cruz), desmin (1:40; D33 Dako), PDPN (D2–40 Dako) and Ki67 (1:50; ph9; Cell Signaling Technology) were used. For IHC immunodetection was completed using the Vectastain ABC kit (Vector Laboratories) and DAB chromogen (Abcam), according to the manufacturer's specifications. For IF a secondary mouse or rabbit Alexa488, Alexa555 or Alexa657 labeled antibodies were used (ThermoFisher). IHC and IF sections were scanned using the Keyence Fluorescence Microscope (BZ-X; Keyence) with the 40x lens, either using the fluorescent filter cube or the brightfield setting.

The mouse liver tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and prepared into 5 μm sections. The sections were incubated with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 min and then continued to incubate with 5% BSA for approximately 20 min. Next, the sections were incubated with anti-α-SMA (#19245, 1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) and anti-Collagen I (#72026, 1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) overnight at 4 °C. The sections were further incubated with the specific secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h. Subsequently, the sections were treated with DAB chromogen (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and re-stained with hematoxylin. All data were assessed using microscope (DS-U3, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). A minimum of 5 representative fields per biological replicate were taken into analysis.

The distribution of ASO in mouse brain tissues was assessed by immunochemistry as described previously [66 (link)]. Briefly, fixed brain sections from 3 mice per group were digested for 1 min at 37 °C with a solution containing 500 mg/mL of proteinase K (Qiagen), 10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5 (Wisent Bioproducts), 10 mM EDTA (Millipore Sigma), 2% SDS (Roche Diagnostics), 500 mM NaCl (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 1.5 mM MgCl2 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). They were then blocked with 3% BSA for 30 min. After two washes in phosphate-buffered saline, the samples were incubated with a polyclonal rabbit anti-ASO primary antibody (6651 Pan ASO; Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature and then with a goat anti-rabbit IgG (HRP) secondary antibody. The DAB chromogen (Abcam, Toronto, ON, Canada) was applied for 5 min before nuclear counterstaining with hematoxylin.

Antigen retrieval was performed in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). When staining for Collagen II and Collagen X, samples were incubated in 40mU/ml chondroitinase ABC (Sigma). Primary antibodies were diluted in 10% goat serum at concentrations detailed in Table 1. Staining was developed using DAB + Chromogen (Abcam).

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.
