Figure 6. Co-localization of p63 and FASN in vivo.
A. Immunohistochemical staining for FASN and p63 in TMAs containing cores from HNSCC tissues. Two representative cases are shown: one case displays both low p63 and low FASN expression (upper panel) and one case displays both high p63 and high FASN expression (lower panel). B. Co-localization of p63 and FASN in the UGS epithelium and prostatic buds. (a) A coronal section of the UGS from a wild-type E18.5 embryo was double immunostained for p63 (Fast Red) and FASN (DAB) and counterstained with hematoxylin. Deconvolved images of the DAB (b) and Fast Red (c) color channels as well a pseudo-colorized image (c) are also shown. In the pseudo-colorized image, the DAB channel (FASN) is displayed in green, the Fast Red channel (p63) is displayed in red and the hematoxylin channel is displayed in blue. Expression of both FASN and p63 proteins is observed in the vast majority of the cells. The cells lining the UGS lumen are consistently negative for both FASN and p63.
