The cellular localization of ciRS-7 was investigated by chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) using a modified version of the RNAScope 2.5 high-definition procedure (Advanced Cell Diagnostics [ACD], Hayward, CA, USA)24 (link). In brief, 3.5-µm thick paraffin sections from colon cancer samples, TMAs and formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded cell pellets from ciRS-7 knockout and wild-type cells were pretreated and hybridized with 12 ZZ-pairs (Probe-Hs-CDR1-AS-No-XMm, 510711, ACD) targeting ciRS-7 overnight. The ZZ-pairs binding ciRS-7 were detected using seven amplification steps, including a Tyramid Signal Amplification step (TSA-DIG; NEL748001KT, PerkinElmer, Skovlunde, Denmark) labeled with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated sheep anti-DIG FAB fragments (11093274910, Roche, Basel, Switzerland), before visualized with Liquid Permanent Red (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark) and counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. Data were collected using a Hamamatsu NanoZoomer XR digital slide scanner and analyzed using NDPview 2 software version 2.7.52 for mac.
