Six micrometer sections were obtained from the final CMA and TMA block for IHC stainings. p53 and EGFR immunohistochemical stainings was obtained from local clinical pathology department laboratory and carried out in Ventana staining automate. CIP2A immunohistochemical staining was carried out after protocol optimization in Ventana BenchMark XT staining automate (Ventana, Tucson, AZ) with OptiView DAB kit and with 64-min CC1 preparation and 32-min antibody incubation. Mouse monoclonal anti-CIP2A antibody (dilution 1:25, 2G10-3B5, sc-80,659, SantaCruz) was used. For PME-1, SET, LIMA1, NDFIP1, and Oct4 stainings, immunohistochemical stainings were done as previously described [13 (link), 24 (link)]. The antibodies used were rabbit polyclonal anti-SET (H-120) antibody sc-25,564 (diluted 1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), mouse monoclonal anti-PME-1 (B-12) antibody sc-25,278 (diluted 1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit polyclonal anti-NDFIP1 antibody HPA009682 (diluted 1:500, Sigma-Aldrich), and mouse monoclonal anti-Oct4 antibody sc5279 (diluted 1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology).
