Alzheimer's disease-related changes in phosphorylation of collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) and their effect on neuronal function
Škrlantová, Alice ; Balaštík, Martin (advisor) ; Balík, Aleš (referee)
CRMP2 was first identified in 1995 as a mediator of Sema3A signalization pathway which leads to axon growth cone collapse. Since then CRMP2 was designated as an essential cue during neuronal polarity estabilishment and neuronal growth in embryonic life. CRMP2 was also found hyperphosphorylated in NFT's and this finding led to further research of CRMP2 function in the pathogenesis of AD. The activity and proper function of CRMP2 is regulated by phosphorylation and a deeper look into the mechanism of this modification is necessary for understanding how CRMP2 influences the function of neural cells. In this thesis I focus on signaling pathways, kinases and interaction partners of CRMP2 and describe how aberrant regulation of these interactions leads to Alzheimerʼs disease development.

The role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis
Marková, Lenka ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor) ; Verner, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis is focused on the existing data referring to role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of several important diseases. It introduces mitochondrial proteins, their role and metabolism, dysfunction of which is behind pathogenetic processes. The thesis also summarizes possible mitochondrial damage, its progress and consequences, which can lead to diseases or aggravate their process. It also pays attention to the role of mitochondria during oncogenesis as well as important neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or autosomal dominant optic atrophy. The thesis mentions the role of disrupted mitochondrial dynamics in type 2 Diabetes. In conclusion the thesis mentions the role of mitochondria and their damage in relation to infection by the parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma cruzi.
