Formation of blastema during limb regeneration in Amphibia
Paušlyová, Lucia ; Tlapáková, Tereza (advisor) ; Paňková, Daniela (referee)
Total limb regeneration among vertebrates is basically restricted to some amphibians. Urodeles have the ability to regenerate amputated limbs through their life span. Anurans have the ability of complete regeneration of amputated limbs only in their larval stage. The key process of the limb regeneration is the formation of undifferentiated cell group which is called blastema. There are many cell types that contribute to formation of the blastema while the most important part in this process belongs to the skeleton muscle tissue and dermal fibroblasts. Another critical factor in formation of the blastema and its growth are the nerves in the area of wound and neurotrophic factors produced by them. In the last 20 years it has been great improvement in using different markers for tracking the fate of blastema cells.
Synchronization of peripheral circadian clocks during ontogenesis.
Paušlyová, Lucia ; Sumová, Alena (advisor) ; Hock, Miroslav (referee)
The circadian system is an important coordinator of physiological functions of a mammalian organism. It comprises of a central oscillator represented by cells in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of hypothalamus (SCN) and peripheral oscillators in most if not all cells of peripheral tissues. The peripheral oscillators, similarly to the central ones, generate circadian oscillations at the level of so called clock genes and their protein products. In peripheral tissues, oscillations in expression of the individual clock genes are autonomous, however, they need to be synchronized to ensure their robust rhythmic expression. The peripheral clocks are synchronized mainly by rhythmical signals from the SCN, including signals regulating food intake. Disturbances in the clock gene expressions, as well as impaired synchronization signals, can result in various pathophysiological states. Spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) strain is a convenient animal model to study potential connection between the disturbed circadian system and progressive development of hypertension and metabolical diseases in mammals. Various studies have shown differences in the rhythmical expression of clock genes between SHR strain and normotensive Wistar/Wistar-Kyoto strain. The aim of this thesis is to provide insight into the early...
