Human glomerular microvascular endothelial cells (HGMECs), originally isolated from th glomerular microvasculature of normal human kidney tissue obtained from healthy adult donors, characterized by their fenestrated morphology and tight monolayer growth pattern under standard culture conditions. HGMECs regulate vasomotor tone, blood coagulation, and selective leukocyte trafficking. The presence of fenestrations (approximately 50–100 nm) allows selective permeability, contributing to their specialized filtration function. HGMECs exhibit normal diploid karyotypes and express typical endothelial markers such as CD31 (PECAM-1), von Willebrand Factor (vWF), and VE-Cadherin (CD144), confirmed via immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. The cells are collected from disease-free tissues and are provided at low passage (P3–P6) to preserve their physiological characteristics and proliferative capacity. While HGMECs are capable of multiple passages under optimized culture conditions, they are not immortalized and have limited replicative lifespan.

Human Glomerular Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HGMECs) provide a physiologically relevant in vitro model for studying the function and pathophysiology of glomerular endothelial cells. They are particularly useful for investigating mechanisms of endothelial permeability, inflammation, and vascular regulation within the glomerulus. HGMECs enable researchers to explore cellular crosstalk and interactions that maintain glomerular structure and function when co-cultured with podocytes and mesangial cells. Considering their vital role in glomerular homeostasis, HGMECs serve as a valuable research tool for studying the progression of kidney diseases and for developing therapeutic strategies aimed at treating chronic kidney disease or restoring filtration function after renal injury.
