Abstract
Amyloidosis is a group of diseases in which proteins become amyloid, an insoluble fibrillar aggregate, resulting in organ dysfunction. Amyloid deposition has been reported in various animal species. To diagnose and understand the pathogenesis of amyloidosis, it is important to identify the amyloid precursor protein involved in each disease. Although 42 amyloid precursor proteins have been reported in humans, little is known about amyloidosis in animals, except for a few well-described amyloid proteins, including amyloid A (AA), amyloid light chain (AL), amyloid β (Aβ), and islet amyloid polypeptide-derived amyloid. Recently, several types of novel amyloidosis have been identified in animals using immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis. Certain species are predisposed to specific types of amyloidosis, suggesting a genetic background for its pathogenesis. Age-related amyloidosis has also emerged due to the increased longevity of captive animals. In addition, experimental studies have shown that some amyloids may be transmissible. Accurate diagnosis and understanding of animal amyloidosis are necessary for appropriate therapeutic intervention and comparative pathological studies. This review provides an updated classification of animal amyloidosis, including associated protein misfolding disorders of the central nervous system, and the current understanding of their pathogenesis. Pathologic features are presented together with state-of-the-art diagnostic methods that can be applied for routine diagnosis and identification of novel amyloid proteins in animals.

Abstract
Systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is an infrequent disease in which amyloid fibrils derived from the immunoglobulin light chain are deposited in systemic organs, resulting in functional impairment. This disease has been notably uncommon in animals, and nonhuman primates have not been reported to develop it. In this study, we identified the systemic AL kappa chain amyloidosis in a captive Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and analyzed its pathogenesis. Amyloid deposits were found severely in the submucosa of the large intestine, lung, mandibular lymph nodes, and mediastinal lymph nodes, with milder lesions in the liver and kidney. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis revealed an abundant constant domain of the immunoglobulin kappa chain in the amyloid deposits. Immunohistochemistry further confirmed that the amyloid deposits were positive for immunoglobulin kappa chains. In this animal, AL amyloidosis resulted in severe involvement of the gastrointestinal submucosa and lymph nodes, which is consistent with the characteristics of AL amyloidosis in humans, suggesting that AL amyloid may have a similar deposition mechanism across species. This report enhances the pathological understanding of systemic AL amyloidosis in animals by providing a detailed characterization of this disease based on proteomic analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disease arising from serum amyloid A (SAA). Systemic AA amyloidosis recently was shown to have a high prevalence in shelter cats in Italy and was associated with azotemia and proteinuria. OBJECTIVES Investigate urine protein profiles and diagnostic biomarkers in cats with renal AA amyloidosis. ANIMALS Twenty-nine shelter cats. METHODS Case-control study. Cats with renal proteinuria that died or were euthanized between 2018 and 2021 with available necropsy kidney, liver and spleen samples, and with surplus urine collected within 30 days before death, were included. Histology was used to characterize renal damage and amyloid amount and distribution; immunohistochemistry was used to confirm AA amyloidosis. Urine protein-to-creatinine (UPC) and urine amyloid A-to-creatinine (UAAC) ratios were calculated, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-agarose gel electrophoresis (SDS-AGE) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) of proteins were performed. RESULTS Twenty-nine cats were included. Nineteen had AA amyloidosis with renal involvement. Cats with AA amyloidosis had a higher UPC (median, 3.9; range, 0.6-12.7 vs 1.5; 0.6-3.1; P = .03) and UAAC ratios (median, 7.18 × 10-3 ; range, 23 × 10-3 -21.29 × 10-3 vs 1.26 × 10-3 ; 0.21 × 10-3 -6.33 × 10-3 ; P = .04) than unaffected cats. The SDS-AGE identified mixed-type proteinuria in 89.4% of cats with AA amyloidosis and in 55.6% without AA amyloidosis (P = .57). The LC-MS identified 63 potential biomarkers associated with AA amyloidosis (P < .05). Among these, urine apolipoprotein C-III was higher in cats with AA amyloidosis (median, 1.38 × 107 ; range, 1.85 × 105 -5.29 × 107 vs 1.76 × 106 ; 0.0 × 100 -1.38 × 107 ; P = .01). In the kidney, AA-amyloidosis was associated with glomerulosclerosis (P = .02) and interstitial fibrosis (P = .05). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Renal AA amyloidosis is associated with kidney lesions, increased proteinuria and increased urine excretion of SAA in shelter cats. Additional studies are needed to characterize the role of lipid transport proteins in the urine of affected cats.

Vet Comp Oncol 2023; 21:460-468.

Abstract
The ratio of κ light chains to λ light chains (κ:λ) in serum is used as a biomarker of immunoglobulin secreting neoplasia in humans but has not been evaluated in dogs. A mass-spectrometry based method for determining the canine serum κ:λ was developed and used to evaluate samples from control dogs, dogs with an infectious aetiology, dogs with secretory plasma cell tumours (sPCT) and dogs with non-secretory B cell neoplasia. A human-targeted immunoturbidometric κ:λ assay and immunofixation using antisera targeting human κ light chain or λ light chain was also performed on all samples. Using whole serum samples, the MS-based κ:λ method identified 5 sPCT as κ-predominant (mean κ:λ = 3.307) and 5 sPCT as λ-predominant (mean κ:λ = 0.023) and documented differences between these groups and all other groups (p < 0.05 for all). The infectious aetiology group had a lower mean κ:λ ratio (mean κ:λ = 0.069) than control samples (mean κ:λ = 0.103, p = 0.035). Similar results were obtained when samples were enriched for proteins between 10 and 50 kDa using size exclusion chromatography, except for the statistical difference between the control and infectious aetiology group. All λ-predominant cases had only anti-human λ light chain labelling by immunofixation. Three κ-predominant cases had only anti-human κ-light chain labelling and the remaining two cases did not label with either antisera by immunofixation. The immunoturbidometric method had high analytical CV% (λ light chain CV = 13%, κ light chain CV = 50%), was unable to measure light chains in 20.5% of samples and did not distinguish groups. The data suggests that the human-targeted immunoturbidometric method would not be diagnostically useful and that the MS-derived serum κ:λ may be a useful biomarker of canine immunoglobulin secretory neoplasia which may have the ability to distinguish neoplasia from infectious causes of immunoglobulin secretion.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to search for survival biomarkers (SB) and treatment response monitoring biomarkers (TRMB) in the urinary proteome of dogs with renal disease secondary to canine leishmaniosis (CanL), using UHPLC-MS/MS. The proteomic data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD042578. Initially, a group of 12 dogs was evaluated and divided into survivors (SG; n = 6) and nonsurvivors (NSG; n = 6). A total of 972 proteins were obtained from the evaluated samples. Then, bioinformatic analysis reduced them to 6 proteins like potential SB increased in the NSG, specifically, Haemoglobin subunit Alpha 1, Complement Factor I, Complement C5, Fibrinogen beta chain (fragment), Peptidase S1 domain-containing protein, and Fibrinogen gamma chain. Afterwards, SG was used to search for TRMB, studying their urine at 0, 30, and 90 days, and 9 proteins that decreased after treatment were obtained: Apolipoprotein E, Cathepsin B, Cystatin B, Cystatin-C-like, Lysozyme, Monocyte differentiation CD14, Pancreatitis-associated precursor protein, Profilin, and Protein FAM3C. Finally, enrichment analysis provided information about the biological mechanisms in which these proteins are involved. In conclusion, this study provides 15 new candidate urinary biomarkers and an improved understanding of the pathogenesis of kidney disease in CanL.

Abstract
Mammary tumor-associated amyloidosis (MTAA) in dogs is characterized by amyloid deposition in the stroma of mammary adenoma or carcinoma; however, the amyloid precursor protein remains unknown. We attempted to identify an amyloid precursor protein and elucidated its etiology by characterizing 5 cases of canine MTAA. Proteomic analyses of amyloid extracts from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens revealed α-S1-casein (CASA1) as a prime candidate and showed the N-terminal truncation of canine CASA1. Both immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy showed that amyloid deposits or fibrils in MTAA cases were positive for CASA1. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed the complete mRNA sequence encoding CASA1, whose expression was significantly higher in the amyloid-positive group. The recombinant protein of the N-terminal-truncated canine CASA1 and the synthetic peptides derived from canine and human CASA1 formed amyloid-like fibrils in vitro. Structural prediction suggested that the N-terminal region of CASA1 was disordered. Previously, full-length CASA1 was reported to inhibit the amyloidogenesis of other proteins; however, we demonstrated that CASA1 acquires amyloidogenicity via excessive synthesis followed by truncation of its disordered N-terminal region. By identifying a novel in vivo amyloidogenic protein in animals and revealing key mechanistic details of its associated pathology, this study provides valuable insights into the integrated understanding of related proteopathies.

Identification of Ameloblastin as an Amyloid Precursor Protein of Amyloid-Producing Ameloblastoma in Dogs and Cats. Vet Sci 2023; 10:vetsci10020166.

Abstract
Amyloid-producing ameloblastoma (APAB) is characterized by abundant amyloid deposits in ameloblastoma, but the amyloid precursor protein is unknown. To explore this, we conducted histopathologic and proteomic analyses on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples from five cases of APAB (three dogs and two cats). Histologically, the samples exhibited a proliferation of the odontogenic epithelium, with moderate to severe interstitial amyloid deposits. By using Congo red and polarized light, the amyloid deposits were found to show characteristic birefringence. Amyloid deposits were dissected from tissue sections and analyzed by LC/MS/MS, and high levels of ameloblastin were detected in all tissues. Mass spectrometry also revealed that the N-terminal region of ameloblastin is predominantly present in amyloid deposits. Immunohistochemistry was performed using two anti-ameloblastin (N terminal, middle region) antibodies and showed that amyloid deposits were positive for ameloblastin N terminal but negative for ameloblastin middle region. These results suggest that ameloblastin is the amyloid precursor protein of APABs in dogs and cats, and the N-terminal region may be involved in the amyloidogenesis of ameloblastin.

Abstract
Canine leishmaniosis is frequently associated with the development of renal disease. Its pathogenesis is complex and not fully understood. For this reason, this study aimed to describe the urinary proteome, and identify possible new biomarkers in dogs with kidney disease secondary to leishmaniosis. Urine samples were collected from 20 dogs, 5 from healthy dogs, and 15 from stages Leishvet III and IV. Urine samples were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS. The data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD029165. A total of 951 proteins were obtained. After bioinformatic analysis, 93 urinary proteins were altered in the study group. Enrichment analysis performed on these proteins showed an overrepresentation of the complement activation pathway, among others. Finally, 12 discriminant variables were found in dogs with renal disease secondary to leishmaniosis, highlighting C4a anaphylatoxin, apolipoprotein A-I, haptoglobin, leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1, and beta-2-microglobulin. This study is the first to describe the urinary proteomics of dogs with renal disease caused by leishmaniosis, and it provides new possible biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of this disease.

Abstract
In animals, most cases of systemic amyloidosis are of amyloid A type, and the other types of systemic amyloidoses are rare. This study analyzed systemic amyloidosis in a 15-year-old female Tsushima leopard cat. Amyloid deposits strongly positive for Congo red staining were observed in the arterial walls as well as the interstitium in multiple organs. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis with laser microdissection of amyloid deposits identified epidermal growth factor-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1 (EFEMP1) as a prime amyloidogenic protein candidate. Immunohistochemistry showed that the amyloid deposits were positive for the N-terminal region of EFEMP1. From these results, the present case was diagnosed as EFEMP1-derived amyloidosis. It is the first such case in an animal. EFEMP1-derived amyloidosis in humans has recently been reported as a systemic amyloidosis, and it is known as an age-related venous amyloidosis. The present case showed different characteristics from human EFEMP1-derived amyloidosis, including the amyloid deposition sites and the amyloidogenic region of the EFEMP1 protein, suggesting a different pathogenesis between Tsushima leopard cat and human EFEMP1-derived amyloidosis.

Abstract
This report describes periarticular plasma cell tumors with abundant amyloid in 11 cats. The tarsus was the most commonly affected joint (10/11), and the masses were often circumferential around the tarsal joint, involving the dermis and subcutis. The 2 cases in which synovium was examined had neoplastic cells expanding the synovium. Three of the 5 cases staged radiographically had bony lysis of the affected joint. Cutaneous biopsy specimens often consisted of more amyloid than plasma cells, making the diagnosis difficult on small samples. Follow-up information was available in 7 cases; in those cases, the median survival was 194 days (range 53-671 days). Four cases had confirmed metastases, most often to regional lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. Although canine cutaneous plasma cell tumors are typically benign, those with abundant amyloid surrounding the joints of cats may involve deeper tissues and have a more aggressive behavior. These tumors can be difficult to diagnose due to low cellularity and abundant amyloid.

Abstract
A 12-year-old castrated male Jack Russell Terrier presented with intermittent vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonographic examination detected a thickened stomach wall with a mass measuring approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. Computed tomography revealed a solitary mass measuring approximately 2.1 cm in diameter between the submucosa and muscle layers in the greater curvature the pyloric region of the stomach, and a swelling in the hepatic lymph node. The gastric mass was composed of round neoplastic cells arranged in a diffuse pattern. The neoplastic cells had a round nucleus and a pale abundant cytoplasm. Multinucleated giant cells were often found. Hyalinized eosinophilic material, which did not stain with Congo red and had no affinity for thioflavin T, was also observed. Neoplastic cells were immunopositive for MUM1, CD79a and Ig lambda light chain but negative for CD3, CD20, BLA36, IgG and Ig kappa light chain. Stromal eosinophilic material was positive for Ig lambda light chain. The neoplasm was therefore diagnosed as a gastric plasmacytoma with non-amyloid Ig lambda light chain deposition.
