Carotuximab effects on endoglin expression and signaling in liver fibrosis
Mohammadi, SeyedehNiloufar ; Nachtigal, Petr (advisor) ; Rathouská, Jana (referee)
CHARLES UNIVERSITY Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical science Carotuximab effect on endoglin expression and signaling in liver fibrosis Diploma thesis Seyedehniloufar Mohammadi Hradec Králové 2022 Supervisor: Prof. PharmDr. Petr Nachtigal, Ph.D. Consultant: M.Sc. Samira Eissazadeh Abstract Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biological and Medical Sciences Supervisor: Prof. PharmDr. Petr Nachtigal, Ph.D Student: Seyedehniloufar Mohammadi Title of the thesis: Carotuximab effects on endoglin expression and signaling in liver fibrosis Objective of the thesis Endoglin is a 180 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a coreceptor for binding to the Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily and is found in two forms in the blood: membrane endoglin (Eng) and soluble endoglin (sEng) circulating in the blood. It has been demonstrated that Eng might play an important role in the process of liver fibrosis, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. According to different studies, Eng can have prefibrotic or antifibrotic activity. The precise impact of Eng expression and signalling changes, and sEng levels during liver disorders are still unknown. Carotuximab, TRC105 (chimeric IgG1), is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody that binds to...
