Liver tissues were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, and then paraffin-sectioned (Penn Digestive Diseases Center Morphology Core). Immunohistochemistry was performed using standard protocols as described previously(27 (link), 28 (link)). For FAH staining we employed rabbit anti-FAH (ab81087, Abcam), and goat anti-rabbit for secondary antibody (Vector Labs). The dCas9 has a hemagglutinin (HA) tag, therefore we could stain tissues with a mouse anti-HA antibody (H3663, Sigma-Aldrich), and rabbit anti-mouse IgG1 secondary antibody (SAB3701173, Sigma-Aldrich). For MYC we used a rabbit anti-MYC antibody (sc764, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and goat anti-rabbit as the secondary antibody (Vector Labs). Staining was performed similarly using antibodies to YAP1 (4912, Cell Signaling Technologies), AFP (sc8108, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), OPN (AF808, R&D Systems), and Ki67 (RM9106, Thermo Scientific).
