Description

Human Epididymal Epithelial Cells are primary cells isolated from human epididymal tissue and cryopreserved after initial culture, and are often referenced in reproductive studies exploring epithelial cells in sperm, where shed epithelial components detected in semen are analyzed in relation to epididymal epithelial physiology and sperm maturation processes. These cells display cuboidal to columnar epithelial morphology with tight junctions critical for maintaining the blood-epididymis barrier. They express epithelial markers including cytokeratin and E-cadherin. Functionally, they contribute to sperm maturation, transport, and storage by regulating the epididymal microenvironment through secretion, ion transport, and immune modulation. These cells are essential for male fertility and are involved in pathologies such as epididymitis and infertility. Reflecting their physiological significance, they provide valuable in vitro models for studying epididymal biology, sperm-epithelium interactions, and male reproductive disorders. To preserve viability and functional integrity, repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided during culture.

Application

  • Human Epididymal Epithelial Cells serve as in vitro models for studying sperm maturation, epididymal function, and male reproductive health. They are useful in investigating epithelial barrier formation, ion transport mechanisms, and immune responses in the epididymis. These cells support research into male infertility causes, epididymal infections, and the effects of environmental toxins or pharmaceuticals on epididymal physiology. Co-culture models with sperm cells facilitate studies on sperm-epithelial interactions.
