Metastatic lung tissues were embedded in paraffin and sectioned, and then immunofluorescence staining was carried out according to a published protocol.25 (link) Primary Abs against E‐cadherin (1:200; 20874‐1‐AP) and vimentin (1:300; 10366‐1‐AP) were obtained from Proteintech. The DAPI DNA dye was obtained from Beyotime Biotechnology. The secondary Ab was a cy3‐conjugated goat anti‐rabbit IgG (Beyotime Biotechnology). All stained tissues were examined and photographed under a NEXcope (NE900) confocal fluorescence microscope (Ningbo Yongxin Optics Co., Ltd).
