Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics in Microvascular Inflammation Diagnosis in Kidney Transplantation.
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
Microvascular inflammation, the hallmark histological criteria of antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplantation, remains an issue in routine practice, due to a lack of reproducibility in its recognition by pathologists and an incomplete comprehension of its pathophysiology, leading to a poor treatment efficacy. The main objective of this study is to assess the performances of tissue proteic signatures designed for the diagnosis of microvascular inflammation in kidney transplantation, from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) allograft biopsies analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics.
Official title: Diagnostic Value of Mass Spectrometry-based Proteomics in Microvascular Inflammation in Kidney Transplantation, the TranSpec Study.

Interventions
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of FFPE biopsies and urine samples
The biopsy and urine samples will be processed by the OncoProt platform (University of Bordeaux) for proteomic analysis by tandem mass spectrometry (label-free quantification) as follows: * Biopsies: laser microdissection of the renal cortex, fixation reversion, protein extraction and electrophoretic migration, tryptic digestion. * Urines: samples concentration by centrifugation/filtration and tryptic digestion according to a protocol adapted from the FASP method (Filter-Aided Sample Preparation)
