Effect of polyhistidine modification of viral particles on their intracellular localization and gene delivery to the nucleus
 Číhařová, Barbora ; Španielová, Hana (advisor) ; Grantz Šašková, Klára (referee)
Viral vectors derived from mouse polyomavirus are a convenient tool for studying the targeted delivery of therapeutical agents into the cells and cellular organelles. Vectors derived from mouse polyomavirus face difficulties similar to other nanoparticles, as they often end up trapped inside an endosome where they are subsequently degraded. This diploma explored the potential of vector modifications, which have the potential to make the transport to the nucleus or cytosol more effective. This work had particularly focused on increasing the transduction efficiency by modifying particle's internally localized VP3 capsid protein with covalently bound membrane-penetrating peptides. Primary covalent genetic modification to the VP3 protein was the polyhistidine peptide KH27K. Its potential of improving the transduction effectivity was compared with two other peptide modifications - LAH4 and R8. The results of the transduction test showed that covalently bound R8 peptide had many-fold improved the transport to the nucleus when compared to the unmodified particles. The modification with LAH4 peptide had been regarded more effective only when was associated with the particles non-covalently. In such scenario the transduction efficiency rose 40-times when compared with unmodified particles. Polyhistidine...

Development of a technique for gene transfer into T-lymphocytes using polyomavirus structures and the LAH4 peptide
 Schreiberová, Lucie ; Španielová, Hana (advisor) ; Vopálenský, Václav (referee)
Efficient delivery of genetic material to T-lymphocytes is key in gene therapy using T-lymphocytes with chimeric antigen receptors. Current procedures require the use of potentially dangerous viral vectors or large amount of input material. The diploma thesis therefore focuses on exploring new approaches for gene transfer into T-lymphocytes: use of safe virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from mouse polyomavirus in combination with the amphipathic cationic peptide LAH4. LAH4 has the potential to increase the efficiency of DNA and viral vector transport into cells. The system which combines VLPs and the LAH4 peptide was optimized for the delivery of reporter gene (encoding GFP and luciferase) to the model T-cell line Jurkat. It has been found that Jurkat cells cannot be efficiently transduced by DNA packed into VLPs. When cells were transfected only with DNA and LAH4, consistent results were not obtained, and the transfection efficiency ranged from 0.5 to 19%. The diploma thesis also analysed the effect of phosphorylation of viral structures on gene transfer. The impact of treatment of virus particles by alkaline phosphatase on the infectivity of the virus was studied and it was necessary to analyse the effect of the reaction components. Sublytic concentration of Triton-X100 in the reaction buffer...
