Proteomics of biological fluids
Jarkovská, Karla ; Kovářová, Hana (advisor) ; Petrák, Jiří (referee) ; Ulčová-Gallová, Zdeňka (referee)
Reproductive diseases, mainly those resulting in the infertility affect the chances of human being to reproduce. On the contrary, the heart disease, cancer and degenerative diseases currently account for majority of deaths in the world. Usually, these lifestyle diseases need longer lifespan to become the cause of death. The proteins secreted by cells carry important information about the cell's well-being, as well as about the condition of the tissues formed by these cells. Once secreted, these proteins may also be transferred throughout the body by means of body fluids, many of which are easily accessible for further 'in-depth' studies. Cellular and secreted proteins are often a focus of studies using proteomic means and the revelation of protein alterations can lead us to new ideas about the molecular mechanisms of diseases as well as possible identification of proteins that may be used as new targets for pharmaceutical intervention or molecules that could be used for diagnostic or prognostic purposes. Taking into consideration the above aspects, this research was undertaken to find proteins that could: (a) characterise the human follicular fluid as microenvironment of the maturing oocyte, to increase understanding of reproductive processes to improve the techniques of assisted repro- duction;...

Preeclamsia and selected immunogenetic factors
Hradecký, Libor ; Ulčová-Gallová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Madar, Jindřich (referee) ; Oborná, Ivana (referee)
Preeclampsia and selected immunogenetic factors Our objective was to evaluate plasma levels of the eight most common antiphospholipid antibodies (antiphosphatidylserine, antiphosphatidylethanolamine, antiphosphatidylinositol, antiphosphatidylglycerol, antiphosphatidic acid, antiannexin V, anticardiolipin and anti 2-glycoprotein I antibodies) by ELISA method and selected inherited thrombophilia (F V- Leiden mutation, FII mutation G20210A, C677T and A1298C variants of the gene for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase-MTHFR) by DNA analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes using the real-time PCR in fifty-five women with preeclampsia in the period immediately before urgent termination of pregnancy. Fifty-five healthy women without preeclampsia was considered as a controll group. Entered data were examined using a non-parametric Wilcoxon's test, univariate analysis were perfomed using the Fisher's exact test and statistical dependence between variables was assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. We demonstrated that women with preeclampsia had significantly higher levels of anticardiolipin antibodies in the isotope IgG (p <0.01) and IgM (p <0.01), elevated levels of antiphosphatidylserine antibodies in the isotope IgG(p <0.01) and antiethanolamine antibodies in the isotope IgM (p <0.01) when...
