| Application | FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY Human adrenal cortical cells have diverse applications in adrenal studies. They 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 unravel the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that control 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 the influence of external factors on adrenal function. | |||

Human adrenal cortical cells are derived from human adrenal cortical tissue. The fetal adrenal cortex consists of two zones, the fetal and definitive adult zones, while the adult adrenal cortex comprises three distinct zones: the outer zona glomerulosa, the central zona fasciculata, and the inner zona reticularis. These cells are organized in cord-like structures that span from the adrenal capsule to the medulla, surrounded by an extensive network of capillaries. The zona glomerulosa cells are round and smaller in size compared to the polyhedral cells of the zona fasciculata, which gradually transition into the zona reticularis. The zona reticularis contains cells similar in appearance to those in the zona fasciculata, as well as a smaller cell type. Adrenocortical cells possess the ability to secrete cytokines, active peptides, and hormones. They also interact with cytokines (TNFb, IL-1, IL-6) and peptides (VIP) released by macrophages within the adrenal cortex.Frequently Asked Questions
What are Human Adrenal Cortical Cells?
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.
What are the main functions of Human Adrenal Cortical Cells?
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.
What applications are Human Adrenal Cortical Cells used for?
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.
Are there any specific markers used to identify Human Adrenal Cortical Cells?
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.
