Description

Human Intestinal Myofibroblasts (HIMFs) are isolated from whole adult human intestines. They play a critical role in intestinal growth and development, repair, tumorigenesis, water and electrolyte transport, inflammation, and fibrosis. HIMFs can secrete the epidermal growth factor receptor ligand Amphiregulin (AREG) under the induction of TNF-α. In addition, in intestinal inflammation (such as Crohn’s disease), myofibroblasts are activated, accompanied by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (including collagen and fibronectin), ultimately driving the process of intestinal fibrosis. TGF-β/Smad signaling plays a central role in this fibrotic response, which also involves cross-talk between immune cells (notably macrophages) and epithelial cells. In the human intestine, myofibroblasts can be identified by specific myofibroblast markers and are widely used as a cellular model to study stromal–epithelial interactions and tissue remodeling.

Application

  • Human Intestinal Myofibroblasts can be used to establish intestinal disease models, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), intestinal fibrosis and colorectal cancer, which helps to further explore disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. In addition, these cells can also be used as active ingredients for constructing in vitro intestinal models or biological scaffolds to simulate the intestinal microenvironment to study drug absorption, toxicity testing or host-microorganism interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are myofibroblasts?

    Myofibroblasts are specialized mesenchymal cells that exhibit features of both fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. They play key roles in extracellular matrix production, tissue remodeling, and wound healing, particularly in intestinal stromal environments.
