Modification of selected biotransformation enzymes during ageing (in rat)
Vyskočilová, Erika ; Boušová, Iva (advisor) ; Svobodová, Hana (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Erika Vyskočilová Supervisor: PharmDr. Iva Boušová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: MODIFICATION OF SELECTED BIOTRANSFORMATION ENZYMES DURING AGEING (IN RAT) Ageing is an inevitable biological process characterized by progressive functional decline of all organ systems with simultaneous increase in oxidative damage as a result of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Increased activity of antioxidant enzymes, such as peroxidase and catalase, is related to increased production of ROS during ageing. Activity of biotransformation enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (CYP) and glutathion-S-transferase (GST) changes during ageing too. In general, activity of enzymes is lower in very young and very old individuals than in the period of adulthood. The aim of the present work was to study age-related changes in activities and expression of selected xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (GST, CYP 1A, CYP 2B, CYP 3A4) and antioxidant enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, superoxiddismutase) in rat liver. Male Wistar rats were sacrificed by decapitation under ether anesthesia at the age of 6 weeks and 21 months (6 individuals in each group). Subsequently, liver specimens were processed to obtain the subcellular...
The role of melatonin in SIRT1 and p-AMPK regulation in HT-29 cell line

Charles University in Prague Pharmaceutical Faculty in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Student: Anastasiya Shkut Supervisors: Mgr. Jana Mandíková, Virginia Motilva Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: The role of melatonin in SIRT1 and p-AMPK regulation in HT-29 cell line. Sirituin 1 (SIRT1) is NAD+ dependent deacetylase present in wide range of organisms including mammals. It was found to extend life span in yeasts during calorie restriction (CR) conditions. SIRT1 deacetylates many regulator proteins and thus control metabolic status of cell as well as AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), which is also energy regulator enzyme depending on NAD+ levels in cell. Both of them play roles in cancer and could influence autophagy, although the exact mechanism remains unclear. We focused our study on hormone melatonin, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, to study its influence on human colon cancer cell line HT-29. If it has impact on SIRT1 and AMPK and what is hierarchic relationship between SIRT1 and AMPK. Also we observed its possible influence on autophagy. We used Western blotting (WB) technique and from our results it seems that melatonin has significant effect on SIRT1, which might activate AMPK as well as autophagy. Nevertheless some of results did not have sufficient...
