Regulation of protein expression non-specific immunity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Kaštánková, Iva ; Kostrouch, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Cmarko, Dušan (referee)
6 Abstract Lipopolysaccharides are composed of covalently bound saccharides. They are a characteristic component of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria. They are the cause of severe sepsis in humans and complications in human medicine. Lipopolysaccharides are a constant part of the infections of gram-negative bacteria. We expect an evolutionarily conserved non-specific immune response and protection. The question is whether there is an immune response in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. If so, what mechanism is controlled and regulated. We submitted lipopolysaccharides from the bacteria Pseudomona aeruginosa with the bacteria Escherichia coli OP50 and observed the influence of lipopolysaccharides on the expression of selected genes. We examined metabolism and development. We have shown the influence of lipopolysaccharides on gene expression of C-type lectine clec-60 a clec-71, nextna lys-5, hsp-60 a F44G.3.2.1 genes. We incubated Caenorhabditis elegans on some components of lipopolysaccharide. We found regulation of these selected genes with hydrophobic components of lipopolysacharide, lipid A. We did not observe regulation with saccharide components of lipopolysaccharide, glucose and galatose. The metabolism of lipids had changed. We demonstrated a reduction of neutral lipids and changes in...
