Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of gene expression changes from selected differentially expressed genes in blood of male (A) and female (B) suicidal patients using qRT-PCR. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Gene expression changes are expressed as fold change versus the control group (Healthy individuals). Significance was determined with Student’s t-test, with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. IL1B = Interleukin 1-beta, IfngR2 = Interferon Gamma Receptor 2, TNFAiP6 = TNF-alpha Induced Protein 6.

Article Snippet: Quantitative PCR was performed using the TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) with the following TaqMan gene expression assays: Interleukin 1 beta (Il1b; Hs01555410_m1), Interferon gamma receptor 2 (Ifgnr2; Hs00194264_m1), and TNF alpha-induced protein 6 (Tnfai6; Hs00200180_m1).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemical validation of diagnostic model‐related genes. (A) Immunohistochemical staining of APOBEC3G (antibody: HPA001812). (B) Immunohistochemical staining of CD4 (antibody: HPA004472). (C) Immunohistochemical staining of CSK (antibody: HPA026488). (D) Immunohistochemical staining of IFNGR 2 (antibody: HPA001535). (E) Immunohistochemical staining of LDHB (antibody: CAB004641). The left side shows normal kidney tissues ( n = 3) and the right shows KIRC tissues ( n = 3). Staining was performed using DAB (3,3′‐diaminobenzidine) to visualize protein expression levels (brown signals). All images were captured at ×4 magnification. (F) Quantification of IHC staining intensity of APOBEC3G, CD4, CSK, IFNGR2, and LDHB in normal kidney and KIRC tissues ( n = 3 per group). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis was conducted using the t ‐test. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. CSK, Cytoskeleton‐Associated Protein; IHC, Immunohistochemistry; KIRC, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma; LDHB, Lactate Dehydrogenase B.

Article Snippet: The membrane was blocked with 5% non‐fat milk in Tris‐Buffered Saline with Tween 20 (TBST) for 1 h, and the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: Lactate Dehydrogenase B (LDHB) (1:5000), IFNGR2 (1:1000), CD4 (1:1000), Cytoskeleton‐Associated Protein (CSK) (1:20,000), HLA‐A (1:20,000), APOBEC3G (1:1000, all from Abcam), and the internal control GAPDH (1:2000, Proteintech) at 4°C overnight.

Figure Lengend Snippet: mRNA and protein expression levels of six key genes in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma cell lines. (A, C, E, G, I, and K) Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction analysis of APOBEC3G, CD4, CSK, HLA‐A, IFNGR2, and LDHB expression, respectively. (B, D, F, H, J, and L) Corresponding western blot analysis of the same six genes. Comparisons were conducted among 786‐O and Caki‐1 renal carcinoma cells and normal human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK‐2). All experiments were performed in triplicate ( n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis was conducted using the t ‐test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. CSK, Cytoskeleton‐Associated Protein; LDHB, Lactate Dehydrogenase B.
