.....amyloid deposits commonly enclose several non-fibrillar components of the extracellular matrix......For a better understanding of the role of the extracellular matrix in amyloidosis, it is essential to gain deeper insights into the composition of amyloid deposits. Here, we utilized matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization mass spectrometry imaging to identify extracellular matrix compounds in amyloid deposits. Using this technique, we identified and determined the spatial distribution of vitronectin within AApoAI-, AL?-, ATTR- and AIns amyloid deposits and, using immunohistochemistry, validated the spatial overlap of vitronectin with amyloids in 175 cases with diverse types of amyloid in several different tissues.
