Study of adenosine effects on proliferation of BeWo cell line
Papírník, Josef ; Červený, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vokřál, Ivan (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Josef Papírník Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Studium of adenosine on proiferation activity in BeWo cell line The placenta is a rapidly developing organ that provides nutrition, protection and environment for the growing fetus. Fetal development is dependent on the supply of nutrients from the mother's blood either by passive diffusion or mediated by transporters. One of the essential nutrients are nucleosides, which are known to promote DNA synthesis and thus the growth of certain tissues. In order to pass across the plasma membrane they need nukleoside transporters (NTs) because of its hydrophilic feature. Additionally Ado takes part in cell signaling. Its wide- ranging effects, including influencing proliferation, are mediated by its binding to adenosine receptors (ARs). The placenta expresses NTs and ARs, which means that it is equipped to uptake nucleosides from maternal blood and has ability to receive signals from the external environment via the adenosine molecule. However, the importance of nucleosides for placental growth has not been investigated yet. The aim of this thesis is to test the effect of nucleosides on the proliferation of...
