Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical Sciences Title of Diploma Thesis: Soluble endoglin effects on endothelial dysfunction markers in mouse aorta Author of Diploma Thesis: Lenka Kalmanová Supervisor of Diploma Thesis: prof. PharmDr. Petr Nachtigal, Ph.D. Background: The aim of the presented diploma thesis was to identify and subsequently evaluate the expression of endothelial dysfunction markers (ICAM-1, VCAM-1, P- selectin) in aortas of two groups of transgenic mice. The difference between control and experimental group was in the level of human soluble endoglin. Methods: 12 months old male mice of transgenic strain CBAxC57BL/6J with inserted genetic information for the expression of human soluble endoglin were utilized for the experiment. The mice were divided into two groups - the experimental group (high levels of sEng) and the control group (low levels of sEng) by ELISA analysis of levels of sEng in plasma. Both groups of mice were fed with standard laboratory rodent diet. Western blot analysis of adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and P-selectin in mouse aorta and subsequently ELISA analysis of plasma levels of sVCAM-1 molecule were performed. Total cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels were demonstrated by biochemical analysis....
