Paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were sectioned into 20 μm sections and stored at room temperature. Slides were the blocked for nonspecific binding using protein block, and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched [23]. For DAB-enhanced Perls staining, slides were immersed for 1-h in 1% potassium ferricyanide in 0.1-M HCl buffer and then stained with DAB. All slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and then visualized using a Nikon Eclipse TE2000-Umicroscope (Nikon, UK).
