Abstract

Beyond typing amyloid deposits and discovering new forms of amyloidosis, laser microdissection and mass spectrometry enable the analysis of the amyloid-plaque proteome constituents-amyloid fibrillar proteins, matrix and cellular components, and absorbed blood-borne proteins. Charalampous etal. analyzed the amyloid-plaque proteomes of the 7 most common renal amyloidoses to gain preliminary mechanistic insights on cellular and molecular perturbations elicited during gradual amyloid deposition and potential tissue repair or damage mechanisms. Clinical correlations identified a prognostic pattern.
