Tumor cell lines viability testing after exposure to chemicals and chemotherapeutics
Horáčková, Lucie ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Brázda, Václav (advisor)
Individual types of viability tests based on colorimetric changes of the solution are desribed in the theoretical part. Furthermore, HSP proteins are characterized, which are not connected only by heat shock, but also during other cell stresses such as exposure to UV, cold, extreme pH or heavy metals. They are important for the cell, because they help to reformulate proteins that have been damaged by cellular stress and also bind to new unpacked proteins and ensure their correct folding. Proteins that are affected by molecular chaperones are collectively called client proteins. Some HSPs also contribute to membrane transport or degradation. These proteins are co-operative with the cochaperones, which are important for heat shock proteins because they help them to pack protein, in particular by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP. Herein is also described cisplatin and its derivatives, including mechanism of action and adverse effects. This work was focused on detection cytotoxicity of cisplatin and its derivatives. Cells were exposed to stress condition induced by cytostatics and huge changes in heat shock proteins and cochaperon levels were observed. There was also observed colocalization of heat shock proteins and their client protein p53 by confocal microscopy in these stressing conditions.
