Prostate sections (4–5 μm thick) were de-paraffinized, hydrated, washed with PBS, and incubated in citrate retrieval buffer solution (pH 6.0) for 20 minutes at 100°C followed by treatment with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in 100% methanol for 20 minutes at room temperature. Immunohistochemistry was performed essentially as described by us previously [38 (link), 39 (link), 41 (link)]. Stained sections were examined under Nikon A1 confocal microscope or Leica microscope equipped with DFC 450C digital camera. Quantitation of immunofluorescence for ACLY, ACC1, and FASN protein expression intensity was performed using ImageJ software. For human prostate tumor tissue array, the H-score was analyzed by positive pixel count V9 algorithm using Aperio ImageScope software.
