Abstrakt: The application of innovative spatial proteomics techniques, such as those based upon matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) technology, has the potential to impact research in the field of nephropathology. Notwithstanding, the possibility to apply this technology in more routine diagnostic contexts remains limited by the alternative fixatives employed by this ultraspecialized diagnostic field, where most nephropathology laboratories worldwide use bouin-fixed paraffin-embedded (BFPE) samples. Here, the feasibility of performing MALDI-MSI on BFPE renal tissue is explored, evaluating variability within the trypsin-digested proteome as a result of different preanalytical conditions and comparing them with the more standardized formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) counterparts. A large proportion of the features (270, 68.9%) was detected in both BFPE and FFPE renal samples, demonstrating only limited variability in signal intensity (10.22-10.06%). Samples processed with either fixative were able to discriminate the principal parenchyma regions along with diverse renal substructures, such as glomeruli, tubules, and vessels. This was observed when performing an additional "stress test", showing comparable results in both BFPE and FFPE samples when the distribution of several amyloid fingerprint proteins was mapped. These results suggest the utility of BFPE tissue specimens in MSI-based nephropathology research, further widening their application in this field.
