Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously described [45 (link)]. The following antibodies were used: phospho-STAT3 Y705, phospho-Histone H2AX S139, phospho-Histone H3 S10, and cleaved Caspase 3 (all from Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA). After image acquisition using an Aperio Scanscope XT (Leica), the staining indexes were calculated dividing the number of positive epithelial cells/nuclei by the total number of epithelial cells/nuclei, using Aperio Imagescope software (Leica Biosystems). The resulted ratio is shown as index.
