Tissue microarray was purchased from Outdo Biobank (Shanghai, China) (HPan-Ade060CD-01). IHC analysis was performed with NR5A2 (#22460-1-AP, working dilution 1:5000, Proteintech), GDF15 (#27455-1-AP, working dilution 1:500, Proteintech), Ki67(27309-1-AP, working dilution 1:3000, Proteintech) antibodies. Two independent pathologists, who were uninformed about the patient data and histopathological features of the samples, were responsible for reviewing and scoring the degree of immunostaining separately. Staining intensity scoring was performed as described previously43 (link).
