Studium účinku modifikace virových částic polyhistidinem na jejich intracelulární lokalizaci a dopravu genů do jádra / Effect of polyhistidine modification of viral particles on their intracellular localization and gene delivery to the nucleus

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...
