Description

Human Mammary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HMMECs) are isolated from the microvasculature of normal human breast tissue, typically from reduction mammoplasty specimens. These primary human cells form a confluent monolayer in culture and exhibit a classic cobblestone morphology. HMMECs express key endothelial marker CD31 (PECAM-1), reflecting their microendothelial lineage. Functionally, they retain critical capabilities such as acetylated LDL (Ac-LDL) uptake and TNF-α–induced E-selectin (SELE) upregulation in breast environment. The cells are cryopreserved at an early passage to maintain genome stability. Thawed cells consistently show high viability. As primary cells, HMMECs have a finite replication capacity and are not suitable for long-term expansion. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

Application

  • HMMECs provide a physiologically relevant in vitro model for studying breast microvascular biology. They are ideal for investigating endothelial barrier function, angiogenesis, and inflammatory responses. Researchers can use them to investigate mechanotransduction (e.g., matrix stiffness effects on migration and proliferation), tumor-endothelial cell interactions, cancer-associated vascular remodeling, and high-throughput screening of anti-angiogenic or endothelial-targeted therapies.
