Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Bc. Magdaléna Krhutová Supervisor: prof. PharmDr. Petr Pávek, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: The changes in expression of long non-coding RNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the highly prevalent cancers globally. A number of new cases of HCC and deaths rises every year. Molecular mechanisms of HCC are being intensively studied, yet they are not still fully understood. In addition to genetic alterations, epigenetics also plays an important role in HCC pathogenesis. Long non- coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are not capable of coding proteins, and their length is 200 nucleotides or more. Various studies have already revealed lncRNAs involved in tumorigenesis through binding to DNA, RNA and proteins. New studies also demonstrate significant changes in the expression of biotransformation enzymes in HCC, and interactions with microRNAs (miRNAs) and lncRNAs. This diploma thesis deals with the issue of long non-coding RNAs in relation to HCC. It summarizes the epidemiological situation, risk factors, and current possibilities of diagnosis and therapy of this disease. It also summarizes recently described genetic and epigenetic mechanisms contributing...
