IF staining was performed as described previously (51 (link), 52 (link)). After blocking, the slides were incubated with the primary antibodies to Ln-γ2 (#ab210959, Abcam; dilution ratio, 1:500), pan-cytokeratin (#ab7753, Abcam; dilution ratio, 1:400), α-SMA (#19245, Cell Signaling Technology; dilution ratio, 1:200), CD3 (#ab1669, Abcam; dilution ratio, 1:150 dilution), CD4 (#ab183685, Abcam; dilution ratio, 1:200 dilution), CD8 (#ab217344, Abcam; dilution ratio, 1:200 dilution), EpCAM (#36746, Cell Signaling Technology; dilution ratio, 1:100), p-c-Jun (Ser73) (#3270, Cell Signaling Technology; dilution ratio, 1:800), and p-c-Fos (Ser32) (#5348, Cell Signaling Technology; dilution ratio, 1:200) at 4°C overnight in a moist chamber. After thorough washing, the slides were then incubated with Alexa Fluor 594– or 488–conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen). Last, all slides were mounted with antifade reagent with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; #S36938, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Images were captured with an OLYMPUS FV2000 fluorescence microscope.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tissue Samples

For the IHC analysis, the paraffin-embedded tissue was sectioned at a thickness of 3 μm and placed on poly-L-lysine-coated slides. The slides were dried overnight at 60°C. The sections were deparaffinized via two changes of xylene. After blocking endogenous peroxidase activity with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol, antigen retrieval was performed by heating the slides in 10 mmol/l citrate buffer (pH 6) using a water bath. The sections were then incubated with the primary antibody (anti-CD3, 1 : 200 dilution (Abcam, ab1669, Cambridge, MA, USA) and anti-FABP6, 1 : 500 dilution (Proteintech, 13781-1-AP, Wuhan, China)) at 37°C for 30 min. Thereafter, the sections were rinsed with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) three times, incubated with the secondary antibody at room temperature for 30 min, and washed with TBS. Finally, 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) was used to illuminate the positive staining signals, and hematoxylin was used for counterstain. The positive staining signals were classified into 4 grades according to standard procedures.

RASF transfected with anti-E2F2 siRNA or E2F2-expressing plasmids were homogenized with cell lysis solution (Beyotime, China) and centrifuged at 12,000 × γ for 30 min at 4oC. The supernatant was collected, and protein concentrations were determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, China). Total protein was separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels, transferred to PVDF membranes and blocked in 5% milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST) at pH 7.5. The membranes were incubated overnight at 4oC with rabbit polyclonal antibody against human E2F2 (ab138515, Abcam, UK), goat polyclonal antibody against human CCR4 (ab1669, Abcam, UK) or rabbit polyclonal antibody against human GAPDH (Good Here, China) at a 1 : 1000 dilution. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated sheep anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) secondary antibody or rabbit anti-goat IgG secondary antibody was incubated with the membrane for 1 h at room temperature in TBST. Complexes were visualized using Immobilon Western chemiluminescent HRP substrate (Millipore, USA). The expression level of E2F2 or CCR4 protein was quantified by normalizing GAPDH expression using Image J software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) to compare their gray values.

The tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated in a series of ethanol (50–100% v/v). The heat‐induced epitope retrieval method was employed for 30 min using a citrate‐buffered antigen retrieval buffer (1×). The tissues were permeabilized with TBST (tris‐buffered saline + 0.25% Triton‐X‐100, Abcam, UK) and blocked with 10% w/v bovine serum albumin (Sigma–Aldrich MO, USA) for 2 h at RT. The slides were then incubated with primary antibodies, including anti‐CD3 rabbit monoclonal antibody (Abcam, ab1669) at a dilution of 1:200 in TBST and anti‐CD68 Alexa fluor‐488 labeled mouse anti‐rat monoclonal antibody (PIMA528262) at a dilution of 1:500 in TBST, for 4 h at RT. A secondary antibody to anti‐rabbit Alexa 594 (Abcam, ab150080) was used at a dilution of 1:500 in TBST. Nuclei were visualized by mounting sections with an antifade mounting solution containing DAPI (Vector Laboratories, USA). Images were captured using the Echo Revolution microscope.

AT samples were fixed and mounted in paraffin and sectioned into 5 μm slides with a microtome (Leica Biosystems, Nussloch, Germany). Antigen was unmasked with proteinase K (cat#S3020, Dako, Santa Clara, CA) and blocked with 15% horse serum for 1 h. Samples were incubated with the following primary antibodies overnight at 4°C: mouse anti-human CCL17 (1:50, cat#DY364-05, R&D Systems), mouse anti-human CCL22 (1:50, cat#DY336, R&D Systems), goat anti-human CCR4 (1:100, ab1669; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit anti-human CD3 (1:100, cat#C7930, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), rabbit polyclonal anti-human CD31 (1:50, cat#ab32457, Abcam) and rat anti-human Mac-3 (1:100, cat#sc19991, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Alexa-Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit (cat#A11034), Alexa-Fluor® 488 donkey anti-rat (cat#A21208), Alexa-Fluor® 594 goat anti-rat (cat#A1107), Alexa-Fluor® 594 goat anti-mouse (cat#A1105) and Alexa-Fluor® 594 chicken anti-goat (cat#A21468) antibodies were used as secondary antibodies (dilution 1:1000; all from Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (1:4000). Afterwards, five fields from each section were captured with a Zeiss Axio Observer A1 fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss Micro Imaging GmbH, Oberkochen, Germany).

Tumor tissues and organs were removed from mice, fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin, and dissected into 3 mm-thick sections. Organ slides were stained with H&E. Fixed tumor slides were incubated with anti-human CD3 antibody (Abcam, Ab1669, 1:100) overnight at 4°C to detect the presence of human T cells in tumors. The slices were then treated with a secondary antibody and visualized using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine. The cell nuclei were stained with hematoxylin.

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.
