Tracing intestinal tumorigenesis driven by BRAF V600E oncogene
 Herrmannová, Terezie ; Hrčkulák, Dušan (advisor) ; Vomastek, Tomáš (referee)
Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most commonly diagnosed tumor diseases worldwide and is the cause of more than nine percent of deaths due to neoplasia. Colorectal cancer develops through different ways and one of them is the so-called serrated pathway, which is characterized by the presence of the BRAF V600E oncogenic mutation. Tumors arising through serrated pathway do not respond to classical therapy, and therefore are currently being studied at the molecular level. The oncogenic variant of the BRAF kinase activates MAPK signaling and is considered to be the main cause of serrated intestinal tumor formation. However, the mere presence of this oncogene is not sufficient for tumor development that requires further changes within the genome of the cell. In this thesis, we try to clarify what effect the BRAF V600E mutation has on the cells of the intestinal epithelium. In addition, we try to identify a possible cooperation between BRAF gene mutation and disruption of p53 and Wnt signaling, whose components are also frequently mutated in colorectal cancer. As a model for studying the processes associated with BRAF V600E activation, we use a mouse strain with conditional expression of a mutant variant of the Braf gene. We isolate intestinal organoids from these mice and subsequently perform in vitro...

The role of Wnt signaling in interaction between circadian clock and cell cycle
 Herrmannová, Terezie ; Sumová, Alena (advisor) ; Macůrková, Marie (referee)
The Wnt signaling represents a highly conserved signal transduction cascade that regulates stem cell proliferation and differentiation. It plays an irreplaceable role not only during embryonic development, but also in maintaining homeostasis of adult tissues. The cell division is also influenced by the circadian clock. The clock can interact with the cell cycle either directly within a single cell or regulate it intercellularly. In order to impact surrounding cells, it uses the Wnt signaling pathway that mediates signal transduction through the extracellular space. Both Wnt signaling and the circadian clock are essential for the physiological functioning of the mammalian organism, and their disruption can lead to the development of cancer. Keywords: circadian clock, clock genes, cell cycle, Wnt signaling, cell proliferation, cancer
