a Schematic overview of the survival analysis in the retrospective clinical cohort and immunostaining validation. UH university hospital, BC breast cancer, HER2 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, BMI body mass index, HR hormone receptor status. Color coding in the clinical characteristics panel reflects differences in age, BMI, tumor stage & grade (Supplementary Data ). Color coding underneath the treatment stratification panel indicates patients that did (green) or did not (blue) receive metformin treatment during follow up. b Cumulative incidence function estimate of BC-specific survival (left panel) and the distant relapse free interval (right panel) in BC patients stratified by intake of a metformin. Color coded by group: blue – control, green – patients treated with metformin, purple – control matched for age, BMI, tumor stage & grade and hormone receptor status. P -values were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier (log rank) test between metformin therapy and without metformin therapy groups (blue for unmatched control patients; purple for matched control patients). Numbers in the boxes underneath the curves depict the number of patients per group that are at risk for the event (mortality in left panel, mortality/development of metastasis in right panel) at the indicated time points. c Quantification of FABP4 + blood vessels (% area of total CD105 + blood vessels) in non-diabetic BC patients ( n = 8) and in diabetic patients without ( n = 8) or with ( n = 9) metformin treatment. Data are mean ± SEM, ** p < 0.01 (exact p -values = 0.0030 and 0.0023, respectively), one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. d Representative micrographs of human breast tumor tissue sections in control non-diabetic (left; n = 8) or diabetic (middle; n = 8) control BC patients and in (diabetic) BC patients treated with metformin (right; n = 9), immunostained for CD105, FABP4 and counterstained with Hoechst. Arrowheads denote CD105 + FABP4 + vessels, asterisks denote (putative) adipocytes, which (besides LIPECs) are also positive for FABP4. Brightness was increased linearly (gamma = 1) to improve visibility for CD105 and FABP4. Scale bar: 75 µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Multiplexed protein imaging via HCR 2°IHC using unlabeled primary antibody probes, initiator-labeled secondary antibody probes and simultaneous HCR signal amplification for all targets. (A) Two-stage HCR 2°IHC protocol. Detection stage: unlabeled primary antibody probes bind to protein targets; wash; initiator-labeled secondary antibody probes bind to primary antibody probes; wash. Amplification stage: initiators trigger self-assembly of fluorophore-labeled HCR hairpins into tethered fluorescent amplification polymers; wash. (B) Multiplexing timeline. The same two-stage protocol is used independent of the number of target proteins. (C) Confocal image of 3-plex protein imaging in mammalian cells on a slide; 0.14×0.14 µm pixels; maximum intensity z -projection. Target proteins: PCNA (Alexa647), HSP60 (Alexa546) and SC35 (Alexa488). Sample: HeLa cells. (D) Epifluorescence image of 4-plex protein imaging in FFPE mouse brain sections; 0.6×0.6 µm pixels. Target proteins: TH (Alexa488), GFAP (Alexa546), PVALB (Alexa647) and MBP (Alexa750). (E) Zoom of indicated region in D. Sample: FFPE C57BL/6 mouse brain section (coronal); 5 µm thickness.

qHCR imaging: protein relative quantitation with subcellular resolution in an anatomical context using HCR 1°IHC or HCR 2°IHC. (A) Two-channel redundant detection of a target protein. Top: target protein detected using two primary antibody probes that bind different epitopes, each initiating an orthogonal spectrally distinct HCR amplifier (Ch1, Alexa647; Ch2, Alexa750). Bottom: target protein detected using an unlabeled primary antibody probe and two batches of secondary antibody probes that initiate orthogonal spectrally distinct HCR amplifiers (Ch1, Alexa546; Ch2, Alexa647). (B) Top: epifluorescence image of FFPE mouse brain section; 0.16×0.16 µm pixels. Target protein: TH. Sample: FFPE C57BL/6 mouse brain section (coronal); 5 µm thickness. Bottom: confocal image of FFPE human breast tissue; 0.3×0.3 µm pixels; single optical section. Target protein: KRT17. Sample: FFPE human breast tissue section; 5 µm thickness. (C) High accuracy and precision for protein relative quantitation in an anatomical context. Highly correlated normalized signal (Pearson correlation coefficient, r ) for subcellular voxels in the indicated region in B (top: 2×2 µm voxels in a 5 µm section using epifluorescence microscopy; bottom: 2.0×2.0×2.5 µm voxels using confocal microscopy). Accuracy: linearity with zero intercept. Precision: scatter around the line. See section S5.6 of the supplementary information for additional data.
