Filip Lhota: Study of alternatively spliced variants of estrogen receptor alpha in breast cancer cell lines Abstract: Estrogen receptor α (ER-α) is a transcription factor responsible for mediation of the activities of its natural ligand 17-β-estradiol (E2), the hormone that together with progesterone belongs to the key regulators of mammary epithelial as well as breast cancer cells proliferation. Except to the major gene product consisting of all eight coding exons of ER-α, numerous qualitatively and quantitatively different spliced variants originated from primary transcript by activity of alternative splicing is expressed. Despite that some of these spliced variants have been functionally characterized, their precise role on final ER-α cellular activity remains to be elucidated. The functional characterization of individual alternative forms of ER-α and description of its participation on the overall ER-α activity is important for our understanding of their biogenesis and is also critical for the delineation of molecular bases for ER-α regulation during anti cancer chemotherapy. This work aimed to study the influence of alternatively spliced ER-α variants on the growth characteristics of clones constructed from stable mammary tissue cell lines in regulation to cultivation conditions and cellular...

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are of a great importance for bone tissue engineering. We compared ASCs obtained by liposuction under two pressures (-200 mmHg and -700 mmHg). The number and proliferation activity of cells isolated under -700 mmHg (ASC-H) were higher than in cells isolated under -200 mmHg (ASC-L). However, the ASC-L was more active in osteogenic differentiation, as manifested by a higher intensity of fluorescence of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin in these cells. The adhesion and growth of ASCs were then studied on Ti-6Al-4V samples either unmodified (K, roughness parameter R-a = 280 nm) or modified by shot blasting and tarnishing A, R-a = 200 nm), vibratory finishing (B, R-a = 100 nm) and vibratory finishing, shot blasting and polishing (C, R-a = 80 nm). All modified samples were more wettable than the K samples. On day 1 after seeding, the size of cell spreading area on some modified samples was lower than on K samples, namely on B samples in ASC-L, on B and C in ASC-H and on A in control MG-63 cells. On day 3, the cell number on some modified samples became higher than on K samples, namely on C samples (ASC-L), on B (ASC-H) and on B and C s (MG-63 cells). On day 7, the numbers of ASC-H and MG-63 cells on all modified samples evened out and became significantly higher than on K samples. On ASC-L samples, the highest cell numbers were obtained on A samples. Thus, all studied modifications of Ti-6Al-4V enhanced growth of ASCs and human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells.
Biological study of hemp activity
HELLEROVÁ, Šárka
The aim of my study is to evaluate the impact of seed density on yields of hemp, which was cultivated in two areas, and subsequently to assess biological efficiency of infusion from hemp on fibroblastoidal line of mammalian cells L292. Afterthat in the case of above mentioned biological test we want to find out, if the density and different parts of plant will have an impact on efficiency of extract.
