Membrane potential measurement with voltage sensitive dyes in fluorescence microscopy
Tkáč, Jan ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
The aim of this work is to make a literature search in the measurement of membrane voltage using voltage-sensitive dyes and suggest a method for measuring the membrane voltage on the available cells using the voltage-sensitive dye di 4 ANEPPS and its further implementation. The work contains an introduction to electrophysiology of cells, and explains typical fluorescence characteristics. The thesis contains the description of a fluorescence microscope. The document presents characteristics of voltage-sensitive dyes and their distribution. A large part of the work describes the implementation and measurement of the experiment. The document also includes different methods for measuring and processing of all results.

Analysis of electrical properties of cardiac cells
Švecová, Olga ; Čmiel, Vratislav (referee) ; Šimurda, Jiří (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of the electrical properties of the heart cells membranes. The main goal of this work is to answer to what extent it is possible to infer from experimental data on the detailed mechanism of interaction of substances with channels. The work also presents a detailed description of methods of measurement of membrane voltage and current, which are used in the experimental measurements. There are also discussed the individual channels of the cell membrane and ion currents, which arise as a response to the rectangular pulse voltage. There is also described the effect of various substances on the properties of ion currents flowing through the cell membrane.

Membrane potential measurement with voltage sensitive dyes in confocal microscopy
Heczková, Monika ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
The aim of this work is to make a literature search in the measurement of membrane voltage using the voltage-sensitive dyes and suggest a method of measuring the membrane voltage on the available cells using the voltage-sensitive dye Di-4-ANEPPS and RH237. The work contains an introduction to electrophysiology of cell, explains fluorescence and typical fluorescence characteristics. The thesis contains the description of a fluorescence microscope. The document was largely devoted to characterization and distribution of voltage-sensitive dyes. The output of a design solution is a real experiment.

Simulation of electrophysiological experiments
Kubáček, Svatopluk ; Provazník, Ivo (referee) ; Rychtárik, Milan (advisor)
Simulation of electrophysiological experiments enables to gain valuable data about bioelectrical processes occurring on isolated cells. This thesis deals with basic principals allowing the creation of bioelectrical phenomenons and measuring techniques that need to be used in order to collect information about these phenomenons. The outcome of the thesis is a programme that serves as an instrument for simulation of measuring techniques applied on Luo-Rudy model. The programme contains basic measuring techniques – current clamp and voltage clamp – providing the possibility to change basic parameters of the model. The results of this work are later compared with the accessible literature.

Membrane potential measurement with voltage sensitive dyes
Votavová, Barbora ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Čmiel, Vratislav (advisor)
The aim of this work is to realize measurements of membrane potential with voltagesensitive dye Di-4-ANEPPS and the data processed and analyzed. The work includes theoretical basis in the form of electrophysiology animal cells, explains fluorescence and describes the fluorescence microscope. The document is largely devoted to the characterization and distribution of voltage-sensitive dyes (VSD). The practical part deals with the various components necessary to perform the experiment as a pulse generator, high-speed camera and camera’s acquisition and describes experiment. The conclusion will be compared with results from theoretical assumptions.

The importance of lipid composition of membranes for the development of Alzheimer's disease
Novotná, Natálie ; Rudajev, Vladimír (advisor) ; Hanousková, Barbora (referee)
Lipids are an essential components of cell membranes and their homeostasis plays an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The aggregation and neurotoxic effects of amyloid β, mainly Aβ42, on the neural cell membrane are crucial for pathological changes in the brain tissue which leads to its degeneration and loss of cognitive functions. The complex relationship between amyloid β and lipids is also supported by fact that membrane lipids do not only support the amyloid binding to the membrane, but also they regulate the splicing of the amyloid precursor protein, therefore the biosynthesis of β amyloid. The most important binding partners of Aβ42 include gangliosides, especially the ganglioside GM1, but also sphingomyelin and cholesterol. In contrast, glycerophospholipids primarily affect the process of the protein production.
