Plasmide DNA isolation from bacteria and transfection to HEK293 cell line
Měsíčková, Klára ; Fohlerová, Zdenka (referee) ; Svoboda, Ondřej (advisor)
The isolation of plasmid DNA is an important and often used method in microbiology. The isolation itself is preceded by preparation of bacterial competent cells and by amplification of the plasmids. In this stage, plasmids CHR2, ASAP1, ASAP-3, ASAP-5 and Kir2.1. are first amplified in E.Coli bacteria of the DH5 strain and then isolated through the method of phenol-chloroform extraction. Gel electrophoresis and transfection to cellular line HEK293 are used for determining the correctness of the isolation.

Effects of trypsin to HEK293 cell membrane
Lipnická, Soňa ; Provazník, Ivo (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
This Bachelor’s thesis examines the effect of trypsin on the membranes of cell cultures. HEK293 cell lines nontransfected and cell lines stably transfected through the CaV3.1 membrane channels were selected for the optimization. They were gradually exposed to 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5 % trypsin. The concentration of trypsin influences the separation of the adherent cells on structure, as well as the degradation of cell membranes, which influences the cell cultures viability. Part of this thesis is an attempt to establish a methodology for the research of the effect of trypsin on membranes of HEK293 cell lines.

Plasmide DNA isolation from bacteria and transfection to HEK293 cell line
Skala, Kateřina ; Fohlerová, Zdenka (referee) ; Svoboda, Ondřej (advisor)
DNA isolation is one of the basic methods in molecular biology. There are several methods of DNA amplification and isolation. In this paper phenol-chloroform extraction of three plasmid types - Channelrhodopsin-2, ASAP1 and Kir 2.1 is used. Six plasmids were isolated in total. These plasmids are then validated using gel electrophoresis. Successfully isolated plasmids are then transfected to HEK293 cells and images taken on confocal microscope 24, 48 and 72 hours after transfection.

Study of properties of voltage membrane sensor ASAP1 expressed in HEK293 cell line
Sanetrníková, Dominika ; Chmelíková, Larisa (referee) ; Svoboda, Ondřej (advisor)
In the beginning of this thesis is a short introduction into plasmid DNA which is in the form of a vector used in molecular biology. Plasmids can be used in the form of fluorescent probes to measure changes in membrane potential. Into their structure is added a dye called fluorophore. As an important representative of this thesis is a fluorescent probe ASAP1 which contains green fluorescent protein whose response to the membrane potential change is the decrease in the intensity of emitted light. The aim of this thesis was to make chemical transfection of this plasmid into the HEK293 cell line and carry out its characterization. In the work is also described the design of a method for the analysis of the time course of changes in fluorescence depending on the cell membrane depolarisation. In the end of this thesis is also desribed realized experiment including the discussion of aquired results.

Application of tissue culture test plates for production of recombinant protein in HEK293 cells; determination of optimal conditions
Krzyžanková, Marcela ; Španová, Alena (referee) ; Ševčík, Mojmír (advisor)
Efficient production of the recombinant proteins (r-proteins) must be based on previous testing of an expression of a small amount of the r-proteins. This work focuses on optimizing the expression of the r-proteins in 12-well plates. It includes testing of an appropriate speed of shaking, production and transfection volume. It compares all the current testing vessels (it compares a 50-ml centrifugation tube to new tested plates that can substitute the unsuitable tubes). It also compares these new tested plates to production square bottles in order to compare the r-protein expression in the plates to the r-protein expression in the bottles. It monitors effects of carbon dioxide on a number of vital cells, their viability, a relative frequency of positive cells on GFP in various cultivation vessels (plates, tubes, bottles), and pH of HEK 293 cellular cultivation during the 4-day cultivation process as well. On the basis of the results and statistical processing of the results, we have set the optimal agitation speed of 230 rpm for the 12-well plates. We have also set the appropriate production and transfection volume of 2 and 0.5 ml for the 12-well plates. In order to evaluate variables and compare cultivations in all the vessels, the tubes could be substituted by the plates. There is a statistically significant impact of carbon dioxide on the number of cells, their variability, relative frequency of cells (positive on GFP) and pH of the cellular HEK 293 cultivation in the cultivation vessels. There is the strongest r-protein expression in carbon dioxide conditions. The results of this work allow to employ the 12-well plates when we aim to test the expression of the r-proteins in a small amount and in carbon dioxide conditions. On the basis of the findings, the expression of the r-proteins in the 12-well plates and carbon dioxide conditions can substitute the expression of the r-proteins in the production bottle and in carbon dioxide free conditions.

The effect of cryopreservation on the current response of CaV 3.1 transfected HEK293 cells
Svoboda, O. ; Fohlerová, Z.
The main disadvantage of long-term storage of living cells in liquid nitrogen is its relatively fast evaporation. For this reason, it is necessary to refill Dewar flask quite often. In our experiments, we used low temperature freezer (-80 °C) as more economical option to liquid nitrogen and we would like to show that there is no significant influence of long-term storage of mammalian cell-sat a low temperature. The effect of temperature was studied as the electrophysiological characteristic of the whole-cell Ca2+ current in HEK293 cells. The current responses were measured from cells stored for eight months at -80 °C and compared with previously published papers. The current traces and I-V curves showed that there are no changes in current response between cells frozen at a low temperature and previously published results. From our results can be concluded that the low temperature freezer is an adequate option for storage of mammalian cells for a couple of months.
