Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical Sciences Title of Diploma Thesis: Immunohistochemical analysis of endoglin expression and biomarkers of inflammation during liver fibrosis after Carotuximab administration Author: Veronika Široká Supervisor of Diploma Thesis: prof. PharmDr. Petr Nachtigal, Ph.D. Background: The aim of this diploma thesis was to analyze changes in the expression of endoglin and markers of inflammation VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in liver in an experimental mouse model of liver fibrosis, which was induced by administration of a diet containing 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-collidine (DDC). Another aim was to elucidate the effect of carotuximab administration on the expression of these markers after fibrosis induction, and to determine whether carotuximab administration effects the process of liver fibrosis by endoglin inhibition. Methods: The experimental mice were divided into three groups - the control group, which was fed a standard (chow) diet, the DDC group, which was fed a DDC-supplemented diet, and the DDC/TRC105 group, which was administrated by carotuximab along with the DDC diet. Liver tissue samples from all three groups were subjected to histochemical staining to detect steatosis (light microscopy) and indirect...
