Interaction of PHA-based particles and fibres with human cells
Tarageľ, Matej ; Bokrová, Jitka (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the preparation and characterization of PHA based nanoparticles and nanofibers and their subsequent influence on the living human skin cell. Theoretical part is aimed at polyhydroxyalkanoates, preparation of PHA based nanoparticles and nanofibers and methods of their physical, biological and chemical characterization. Further, the theory of liposomes, their clasification, preparation and physical and chemical properties are discussed too. Next, the theoretical part focuses on the cultivation of human cells and general information on selected cell lines. The experimental part is focused on the optimalization of the preparation of liposomes and fibers enriched by PHA. Further, characterization of stability and interactions of these nanomaterials with human HaCaT cells was proved. Cytotoxic and genotoxic tests were performed and determination of concentration of phospholipids in prepared particles was realized too.

Stability of PHA-based particles and fibres in different environments
Tarageľ, Matej ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is the preparation of liposome nanoparticles enriched with PHA and PHA nanofibers. The nanostructures served to encapsulate extracts of lipophilic and hydrophilic nature. The characterization of the properties of nanostructures such as polydispersity, size, colloidal stability, long-term stability after exposure to various environments such as seawater, water from the Brno dam and tap water, and finally the cytotoxicity of fibers with extracts was addressed. The theoretical part is focused on different types of water, human skin, coffee and subsequently carotenoids. It continues by describing of possibilities of extraction and preparation of lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts and possibilities of their determination is discussed. Finally, it describes the possibilities of preparation and characterization of PHA based nanomaterials. The practical part deals with the preparation of liposome particles and fibers enriched with PHA with encapsulated extracts, their characterization, and their subsequent exposure to various environments. Monitoring of their long-term stability was carried out, but the release of the encapsulated extracts into the environment to which the nanoparticles and nanofibers were exposed was also measured. Finally, the interaction of nanofibers with live HaCaT cells was monitored, and cytotoxicity assays determined the viability of the cells after interaction with the nanofibers.
