Over the last few years, the genetic and molecular basis of the disease has become an area of enormous interest. In our project, we are aiming to find new diagnostic markers with a high clinical clinical value. In addition to standard statistical methods, molecular methods – RT-PCR, Western blot analysis, Pathfast, ELISA – will be used to meet the targets.
The basic methodical steps of the methodologies used are known to the solving team. Thanks to the variety of methodologies and versatility of the team, we anticipate the successful integration of experimental results into clinical practice to identify the prediction of patient life. Molecular/cell imaging techniques, molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology and diagnostics will be used to target the prediction of cardiovascular injury progression in ISCH patients and ejection fraction randomization factors. The full participation of physicians-clinics allows for the anticipation of a successful potential therapeutic intervention. Obligatory for our molecular medical research will be the optimization of molecular biology methods from experimental conditions into real clinical practice and their subsequent interpretation for the possibility of timely prediction of the disease.
Thorough testing of specific genomic and proteomic methods will be performed in experimental clinical laboratories. The blood samples will be investigated for specific genes, proteins and microRNA, not only in the whole blood, but also in its individual parts (plasma, blood cells).
The decision-makers build on the work accomplishments of the individual members of the team, as well as on their long-term cooperation. Due to the fact that all members of the team are acquainted with each other, they are able to collaborate effectively and apply methodologies identifying molecular mechanisms and clinical aspects of individual patients involved in pathophysiological cascades of cardiovascular disease with targeting to ISCH with subsequent correlation of pharmacotherapy. For this purpose, RT-PCR, Western Blot Analysis, Immunology (ELISA) and Pathfast will be used. This project involves cooperation not only with the faculty of the Comenius University and the NICD clinic, but also with the unique international connection of experimental and clinical pharmacologists and doctors from the field of clinical pharmacology and cardiac surgery.
RT – PCR is a technique commonly used in molecular biology to detect RNA expression, measure the amplification of DNA using fluorescent dyes. We analyse with RT-CR microRNAs – miR-1, miR-29b, miR-133a, miR-214, miR-208a, miR-208b, miR-499 and E-selectin, ICAM1, NOS3, PECAM1, VCAM1.
Western blot (WB) is a widely used analytical technique used in molecular biology, immunogenetics and other molecular biology disciplines to detect specific proteins in a sample of tissue homogenate or extract. We analyse with WB proteins E-selectin, ICAM1, NOS3, PECAM1, VCAM1.
ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a test that uses antibodies and color change to identify a substance. Performing an ELISA involves at least one antibody with specificity for a particular antigen. We detect with ELISA angiotensin II, renin, ACE, CRP and IL-6 in blood samples.
Pathfast system combines the accuracy of a full-scale lab analyzer with the flexibility of a mobile solution. We detect with Pathfast hsCRP, NT-proBNP, D-dimer and troponin I.
In project we will used bioinformatics and statistic procedures that allow prediction of cardio – relevant microRNAs and specific biomarkers that may be involved in clinical outcomes of IHD. It should create the prediction algorithms, databases and data for data mining procedures.
The last period of our work is focused to stem cells therpapy of Cardiovasuclar diseases – clinical trials.
