Human Adrenal Cortical Cells are primary cells derived from pooled human fetal adrenal cortical tissue from multiple donors of mixed gender. The fetal adrenal cortex comprises two zones—the fetal and definitive zones—while the adult cortex includes the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis. These cells, typically grown as adherent monolayers, are organized in cord-like structures in vivo and display morphological heterogeneity, including smaller round cells in the zona glomerulosa and polyhedral cells in the fasciculata and reticularis. They actively secrete hormones, cytokines, and peptides, and express key steroidogenic enzymes such as CYP11B1, CYP17A1, and StAR. The cells interact with local immune related signals such as IL-1, IL-6, and VIP released by adrenal macrophages.

Human Adrenal Cortical Cells serve as a valuable model for investigating adrenal disorders like adrenal insufficiency, Cushing’s syndrome, Conn’s syndrome, and adrenocortical carcinoma. By studying these cells, researchers can uncover the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating adrenal steroidogenesis. This knowledge can lead to better diagnostics and targeted therapies. Moreover, human adrenal cortical cells provide a platform to explore the effects of chemicals on adrenal hormone synthesis. Researchers can assess how various compounds impact hormone production, shedding light on how external factors influence adrenal function.
Human Adrenal Cortical Cells are specialized cells located in the adrenal cortex, the outer layer of the adrenal glands. They are responsible for producing steroid hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens.
The primary functions of these cells include the production and secretion of steroid hormones, which regulate a variety of physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, blood pressure, and stress response.
These cells are used in endocrinology research, drug development, and studies related to adrenal gland disorders such as Addison’s disease, Cushing’s syndrome, and primary aldosteronism. They are also used to study steroidogenesis and hormonal regulation.
Human Adrenal Cortical Cells can be specifically identified through immunofluorescence staining for 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD), an enzyme crucial in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones. 3β-HSD is expressed predominantly in adrenal cortical cells, making it an ideal marker for distinguishing these cells from others.
