Immunohistochemistry was conducted in 5 μm FFPE whole tissue or tissue microarray sections using automated Ventana Discovery system or Ventana Benchmark system (Ventana Medical Systems). The primary antibodies used included NF2 (1:100, D3S3W, Cell Signaling Technology), YAP/TAZ (1:50, D24E4, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-YAP (Ser127) (1:500, D9W2I, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-S6 (Ser235/236; 1:100, D57.2.2E, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-4EBP1 (Thr37/46; 1:400, 236B4, Cell Signaling Technology), 2SC (Dr Norma Frizzell, Univ. of South Carolina)42 (link), FH (1:1,000, Clone J-13, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), INI1 (1:100, BAF47, BD Bioscience) and H3K36me3 (1:200, MABI-0333, Active Motif). For the semi-quantitive or quantitative (H-scores) analysis of staining, the pathologists were blinded to the group designation of cases on tissue microarray slides.
