Description

Human Keratinocytes, Adult are isolated from healthy donor skin tissue (epidermis), specifically from the basal layer of the skin, maintaining characteristic cobblestone morphology and stratified growth potential in culture. These cells play a critical role in forming the epidermal barrier and protecting against mechanical, chemical, and microbial damage. These primary keratinocytes express standard keratinocyte markers (cytokeratin 5, 14 in basal layers; cytokeratin 1, 10 in differentiated layers) and demonstrate proper calcium-induced differentiation capacity. The cells exhibit physiological proliferation rates with balanced expression of epidermal growth factor receptors and cell cycle regulators (p63, Ki-67). They retain native barrier function properties and respond appropriately to wound healing stimuli (TGF-α, IL-1α). They are used in studies of skin disorders such as psoriasis, squamous cell carcinoma, and wound healing.

Application

  • Human keratinocytes are widely used in scientific applications. In wound healing and some pathogenic conditions, growth factors and cytokines such as IL-1, TNF-α, TGF-α, TGF-β, and IFN-γ affect keratinocyte activation. Keratinocytes respond to signals from fibroblasts, such as TGF-β, by expressing K5 and K14, which leads to the restoration of their healthy basal phenotype. The differentiation of keratinocytes is mediated through the involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which is influenced by factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), TNF, and calcium influx. Keratinocytes are also involved in the immune signaling pathway, as they express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) that respond to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Toll-like receptors are expressed in human keratinocytes. TLR3, 4, 5 ligand stimulation can trigger an immune response in keratinocytes.
