Abstract Conventional proteomic approaches neglect tissue heterogeneity and spatial localization information. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) can isolate specific cell populations or histological areas from heterogeneous tissue specimens while preserving spatial localization information. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) is currently a standardized method for long-term stable preservation of clinical tissue specimens. However, spatially resolved proteomics (SRP) studies of FFPE tissues by combined LCM and mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics face challenges, such as formalin-induced protein crosslinking limits protein extraction and digestion, protein loss during sample preparation, and the detectability of MS for trace tissues. Therefore, it is necessary to specifically develop SRP sample preparation methods and MS methods suitable for trace FFPE tissues. Here, we provide an SRP method suitable for trace FFPE tissues produced by LCM, termed LCM-Magnetic Trace Analysis (LCM-MTA), which can significantly increase the sensitivity, recovery, and integrality of SRP. The starting material has been reduced to about 15 cells, which resolution is comparable to existing spatially resolved transcriptome (SRT). We also apply our LCM-MTA into SRP studies on clinical colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and accurately distinguish the functional differences of different cell types. In conclusion, LCM-MTA is a convenient, universal, and scalable method for SRP of trace FFPE tissues, which can be widely used in clinical and non-clinical research fields.
