| ANOMATY – Interakcie amyloidných fibríl a nanočastíc pre biomedicínske, biochemické a inžinierske aplikácie | |
| Interactions of nanoparticles with amyloid fibrils: from therapy to nanomaterials | |
| Program: | Bilateral – other |
| Project leader: | doc. RNDr. Gažová Zuzana, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Nanoparticles represent a powerful platform with a large potential for biomedicine and engineering applications.The formation of amyloid aggregates is unfavorable in vivo as they are associated with the pathogenesis of many human diseases, yet, amyloid fibrils have the potential to be engineered into novel materials. However, there is still little known about the interactions between amyloid fibrils and nanoparticles that can provide new enhanced NPs functions. The project aims to investigate the interaction of amyloid fibrils formed from native globular proteins and nanoparticles to utilize or enhance the NPs applications as catalysts in engineering applications or possible disaggregation agents to treat amyloid-related diseases (Alzheimer´s disease, diabetes mellitus). We will determine the relationship between amyloid fibrils (formed from lysozyme, insulin, and α -lactalbumin) and Au-, Ag- and Pd –nanoparticles with different surface chemistry (size, charge, functionalization). Moreover, we will perform a systematic study of globular proteins\’ propensity to form amyloid fibrils with controlled properties. The proposed objectives will be achieved by combining experimental techniques with computational methods routinely used in respective scientific teams. Moreover, the data about fibrils\’ structural and physico-chemical properties might fill the empty spaces in a big biology puzzle – pathophysiology of amyloid-related diseases. |

| Non-globular proteins – from sequence to structure, function and application in molecular physiopathology | |
| Program: | COST |
| Project leader: | doc. RNDr. Gažová Zuzana, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Non-globular proteins (NGPs) encompass different molecular phenomena that defy the traditional sequence-structure-function paradigm. NGPs include intrinsically disordered regions, tandem repeats, aggregating domains, low-complexity sequences and transmembrane domains. Although growing evidence suggests that NGPs are central to many human diseases, functional annotation is very limited. It was recently estimated that close to 40 of all residues in the human proteome lack functional annotation and many of these are NGPs. While a better understanding of NGPs is crucial to fully comprehend human molecular physiopathology, progress has been hampered so far by the lack of a systematic approach to their study.This Action Proposal aims to create a pan-European scientific network of groups that work on NGPs to strengthen, focus and coordinate research in this field. It proposes to develop a novel classification of NGPs by consensus among interested experts that will be showcased on a newly developed web site, along with meetings, training schools and scientific missions on NGP-related topics. |

| Annotation: | Alzheimer\’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder of multifactorial nature characterized by neuroinflammation, decreasing the level of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine as well as formation of amyloid Abeta peptide plaques and neurofibrillary tangles containing abnormally posttranslationally modified tau protein. There is no effective treatment for AD so far and none of the clinically tested drugs have any feasibility to stop, substantially delay or reverse the progressive consequences of this disease. Accordingly, there is a considerable world-wide interest to facilitate the drug development for AD. Recently, the strategy of using the multi-targeted ligands seems to be the most attractive for developing effective therapy for Alzheimer´s disease due to ability of these compounds interacts with multiple targets responsible for the disease pathogenesis. The main goal of this project is to investigate multi-target responsibility of compounds including extracts from traditional Chinese herbs as potential therapeutic agents for AD. Using in vitro, in vivo and in silico methods we will study ability of these compounds to affect the neuroinflammation, to inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, and amyloid aggregation of Abeta peptide. The bilateral collaboration will allow the both research groups to combine their expertise and experience in the field of pathology of Alzheimer´s disease. The complementary approach allows obtain more complex data leading to suggestion of possible alternatives of therapy against this devastating disease. Moreover, the project will also enable mutual utilization of equipment provided by both institutions. At the same time the young members of project\’s team will have the opportunity to learn new techniques in well-equipped laboratories at SAS and East China University of Science and Technology and also work in the international scientific team. |

Moreover, the proposal of the project will enable mutual utilization of equipment provided by both institutions. At the same time the young members of Slovakian team will have the opportunity to learn new techniques in well-equipped laboratories at UMF „Carol Davila“ and work in the international scientific team.The topic of the project includes the research of the protein self-assembly into amyloidal aggregates, since this characteristic is one of the hallmarks of multiple severe diseases(Alzheimer’s disease, non-neuropathic amyloidosis). Although multiple studies in the research field of amyloidosis were carry out, the data on the mechanism formation or reverse of the process of the amyloidosis are missing, and the toxicity of amyloid aggregates remains to be clarified. Our attention will be addressed to assess the conditions required for promotion of protein missfolding, to determine the cytotoxic effect of the amyloids, and to identify molecules able to inhibit protein aggregation. The major advantages of the bilateral cooperation will consist in: i) the study could provide a useful model for understanding the pathological protein aggregation and their cytotoxic action; ii) the scientific output of the project could suggest possible alternatives of therapy against devastating diseases, as different types of dementia or non-neuropathic amyloidosis; iii) the experimental data will offer thepossibility to publish our joint results in the international scientific journals; iv) our collaboration could represent a solid base to apply further for EU funding projects. |

| Annotation: | The topic of the project includes the research of the protein self-assembly into amyloidal aggregates, since this characteristic is one of the hallmarks of multiple severe diseases. Amyloidosis is a disorder of protein folding in which normally soluble proteins undergo conformational changes and are deposited in an abnormal fibrillar form. For instance, the presence of tau protein deposits is associated with neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer\’s disease and the presence of lysozyme with systemic amyloidosis.One of the objectives of the project is characterization of the conditions leading to protein conformational changes which promote amyloid aggregation. Also, the attention will be focused to investigate the effect of amyloid assemblies (soluble and insoluble) on viability and proliferation of the cells and to analyse their effects on the cell cycle phases and apoptotic processes. The significant spotlight will be given to identify effective molecules or molecular complexes involved in inhibition or destruction of amyloid polymerization and to examine their cytotoxicity. |

| Annotation: | Structural changes of poly/peptides leading to the formation of amyloid aggregates are associated with incurablediseases, like Alzheimer\’s disease or diabetes. While the general mechanisms of fibril formation and theircharacterization are well reported, the early events during poly/peptide fibrillation are still unclear. The project isfocused on understanding the early events mechanisms leading to the formation of pre-fibrillar (partially un/foldedintermediates, nuclei, oligomers) and fibrillar amyloid aggregates of selected globular and intrinsically disorderedproteins. Our focus will be the study of the kinetics of pre-fibrillar structures formation, their morphology, andcytotoxicity, under various experimental conditions, and in the presence of selected interacting partners (smallmolecules, nanoparticles). The obtained results will contribute to understanding the early events of amyloidaggregation and identifying the inhibitors with therapeutic potential for amyloid diseases. |

| Annotation: | Protein aggregation and self-assembly into supramolecular complexes occurs in various biological processes. Fibrillar aggregates – amyloids are hallmark of various diseases. Amyloid fibrils are part of physiological processes in cells and are also tested as novel biomaterials. The project is focused on study of the effect of two classes of cosolvents on amyloid aggregation of structurally different polypeptides – globular lysozyme and intrinsically disordered Aß peptide. The aim of the project is to find the relation between cosolvent properties and their effect on conformation, stability and kinetics of amyloid aggregation and morphology of obtained fibrils.Elucidation of these relations is important for the understanding of the mechanism of amyloid aggregation and can help to design new therapeutics against amyloid-related diseases, for identification of pathological structuralmotifs of fibrils as well as in biotechnological application of fibrils as novel materials. |

| Annotation: | Amyloid supramolecular complexes formed by poly/peptides are the most prevalent naturally occurring self-assembling systems. Formation of such complexes affects function of poly/peptides and is associated with more than 30 serious amyloid-related diseases such as Alzhemer’s disease or diabetes mellitus. The exactmechanism of amyloid self-assembly of poly/peptides is not known yet and no effective treatment of amyloidosis is established. The goal of the project is to study the mechanism of the amyloid aggregation of poly/petides with different native structures and identification of inhibitors of poly/peptide self-assembly since the inhibition of amyloid formation is one of the possible therapeutic approaches against amyloid-related diseases. We will focus on the determination of the correlation between the morphology of amyloid aggregates and their cytotoxicity as well as on the relationship between structure of the effective inhibitors and their anti-amyloid activity. |

| Annotation: | Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) – proteins without ordered stable structure at physiological conditions – are of great interest especially due to their connections to neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by deposits of amyloid plaques or neurofibrillary tangles, formed by fibrous assemblies of the A-beta or tau proteins. The growing evidences indicate that oligomers are more toxic species than fibrils. Proposed projects is oriented on study of the effect of external conditions (pH, T, ionic strength, hydrophobicity) and various compounds (denaturants, osmolytes and polyanions) on conformation of tau and A-beta proteins andkinetics of their oligomerization. Another goal is to define how properties of oligomers affect the kinetics of ibrillization and morphology of obtained amyloid fibrils. |

| Annotation: | Amyloid aggregation is on high interest due to its impact on properties of poly/peptides that are arranged into highly organized amyloid aggregates. Amyloids play an important role in serious diseases (type II diabetes, Alzheimer’s diseases) and impose serious restriction in pharmaceutical utilization of proteins. Although multiple studies were carrying out, the data on the mechanism formation or reverse of amyloidosis are missing. The project is devoted to contribute to the understanding of the process of amyloid aggregation and to identify the active substances (small molecules and nanoparticles) that reduce the amyloid self-assembly of proteins providing a basis for the development of drugs for the treatment of amyloid pathology. We will determine the correlation between the properties of active substances and their anti-amyloid activity. We will identify binding sites for the active compounds and suggest the mechanism binding of active molecules using experimental and mathematical methods. |

| Annotation: | The structuralization phenomena plays key role in fundamental as well as in applied research. The proposed project is devoted to the study of the influence of nanoparticles on the structuralization phenomena in various systems as well as on the structuralization of the nanoparticles alone. Some special kinds of nanoparticles will be prepared, which will be used for study these effects. The main aim is to study the influence of the nanoparticles on the structuralization phenomena in two different kind of systems as liquid crystalline mater and amyloid structures. In the first system the magnetic particles can increase the sensitivity of liquid crystals on an external magnetic field. In the amyloid structures the nanoparticles can significantly influence the amyloid aggregation of proteins, which is responsible for amyloid diseases as Alzheimher, Parkinson and Dibetes II The prepared nanoparticles will also be used to build their 3D structures (metamaterials), i.e. to create systems with unusual physical properties as for example negative reflection. |

The ionic liquids possess unique properties – negligible vapor pressure, high elecrochemicalionic conductivity, high thermal and chemical stability. These specific properties allowing the usage of ionic liquids in diversed fields such as enzymology, organic and inorganic synthesis or electrochemistry of biomacromolecules. Our project is focused on preparation of biocompatible ionic liquids on basis of amino acids, glycerol, imidazolium and higher alcohols as a protein solvents for model proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme, albumin, ribonuclease). The project is expected to bring new information concerning protein structure and stabilityin unique solvents and to contribute to understanding the mechanisms of protein – ionic liquids interactions. These finding could have a significant impact for ionic liquids usage for protein treatment in biotechnology and pharmacy. |
