• M.Sc • Tiltle: Expression of neurofilament marker and down regulation of NANOG in retinoi acid treated P19 embryonic carcinoma stem cells. P19 cell line (ECACC name: P19 ECACCC RefNo: 95102107) was derived from an embryonal carcinoma induced in a C3H1HE strain of mouse. These pluripotent cells were maintained in their undifferentiated state by cultured them as monolayer in T75 culture flask at relatively low density. These cells can be differentiated into different cell lines for experimental purpose using various techniques. In this research project we have induced P19 cells by retinoic acid to differentiate into neuronal cells. Using immunohistochemistry technique we tried to identify the expression of a specific neurofilament of 200kD (neurofilament heavy polypeptide) .To determine the mRNA expression level of neurofilament heavy polypeptide and a pluripotency sustaining factor called Nanog during retinoic acid induced P19 cell differentiation, we have performed RNA isolation and RT- PCR analysis. The results were revealed that during retinoic acid induced neuronal differentiation of P19 cell, neurofilament marker expressed and Nanog down regulation has occurred. As a preliminary step of our future work we have performed nanostructure investigation of fibroblast in liquid medium using AFM (Atomic force microscope)

THESIS ABSTRACT • B.Sc • Title: Lead accumulation in Pilea microphylla Phytoremediation is an emerging technology for decontamination of toxic heavy metals in environment, the success of which depends on the availability of hyper accumulator species. Lead is a toxic heavy metal found in urban system in general. Lead hyper accumulating plants are quite rare.Pot culture experiments were carried out to assess the lead accumulation potential of one of the most common road side species, Pilea microphylla (L.) Lieb., under field conditions. The plant was grown in plastic bags under varied amounts of lead additions to soil for about one month and the shoot and root accumulation of lead in the plant was found out.It was interesting to note that the plant accumulated quite high amount of lead in its root [1274.50mg/1kg] and shoot [322mg/kg].The plant also reacted positively to the lead treatments. This positive response to the lead treatments was visible from the fact that its biomass was not affected towards higher doses of Pb treatments. Since the plant accumulated more than 1000mg/kg of Pb in its tissues, it was found to be a hyper accumulator of Pb which has applications in biotechnological development of better species for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soils.
