Incorporation of small organic hydrophilic substances into vesicular systems
Janoušková, Vendula ; Krouská, Jitka (referee) ; Mravec, Filip (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of the encapsulation efficiency of hydrophilic drugs and their releasing from the aqueous core depending on the different composition of the components of individual liposomal systems. The hydrophilic fluorescent probe called pyranine was chosen as a model drug. The aim was to prepare liposomes which would be suitable for inhalation administration in terms of their properties. These liposomes would provide passive targeting with prolonged release time without causing negative side effects on the organism. We have succeeded in developing a standard operating procedure for the incorporation of hydrophilic drugs. Liposomal systems have been prepared consisting of the addition of various components as cholesterol, phosphatidic acid, pegylated phosphatidylethanolamine and trimethylchitosan. Furthermore, we were able to characterize the individual liposomal systems in terms of size, stability and encapsulation efficiency which are important physicochemical properties for further application potential.

Function of phospholipases D and lipid phosphate phosphatases in the regulation of plant cell morphogenesis
Bezvoda, Radek ; Žárský, Viktor (advisor) ; Hašek, Jiří (referee) ; Vaňková, Radomíra (referee)
of the thesis The presented work explores the function and regulation of intracellular signaling that utilizes phospholipase D (PLD) and phosphatidic acid (PA), especially in the context of cellular morphogenesis of plants. PLDs cleave membrane phospholipids to phosphatidic acid, which has important biophysical and signaling role in many contexts, such as stress response, regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and vesicular transport. Vesicular transport is essential in focused tip growth of plant pollen tubes and root hairs. Part of the work deals with NADPH oxidases, that are an emerging counterpart of PLD/PA signaling. Tobacco pollen tubes served as the main experimental model, as it enables assessing of changes in secretory pathway after pharmacological or genetic treatments. A technique utilizing antisense oligonucleotides was used for selective knock-down of PLD isoforms, NADPH oxidase and newly studied family of lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) in pollen tubes. This enabled to assess functions of individual isoforms. For studying of selected gene families, various bioinformatic tool were utilized, such as dendrogram construction, analysis of available expression data and creating of virtual proteome. These tools together enabled to select potentially important genes for further experimental...
