Description

Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells (HOSECs) are primary cells isolated from the outer layer of healthy human ovaries. In vivo, these cells display diverse morphologies—squamous, cuboidal, and low columnar—and play a crucial role in ovulatory rupture and tissue repair. In culture, they form a cobblestone-like morphology and adhere strongly to surfaces. HOSECs express key markers like CK7, E-cadherin, and estrogen/progesterone receptors, verified by immunostaining. When co-cultured with endometrial stromal cells under estrogen-rich conditions, these cells form gland-like structures. These cells are early passage, non-tumorigenic, and widely utilized in research on ovarian cancer, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and tissue regeneration. They offer insights into ovarian function and pathology, supporting both basic and translational studies.

Application

  • Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells are widely used in research on the pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Studies focused on the ovarian surface epithelium and its structural changes following ovulation, as well as their presence in ovarian carcinomas,play a crucial role in this research. Gaining insights into the abnormalities in cellular pathways is clinically significant as it helps in understanding OSE cell survival, apoptosis, transformation, and function during disease progression, ultimately help identify potential biomarkers for therapy and disease management.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells?

    Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells are the layer of cells that cover the surface of the ovary. They are involved in the ovulation process and are the origin of most ovarian cancers, making them significant in both reproductive biology and cancer research.

  • What functions do Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells perform?

    Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells play a role in protecting the ovary and participate in the ovulation process by covering the ovarian surface. They also undergo cyclic changes in response to hormonal fluctuations and are involved in the repair of the ovarian surface after ovulation.

  • What are the common research applications of Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells?

    These cells are used in research to study ovarian biology, the mechanisms of ovulation, and the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. They are also important for exploring the effects of hormones on ovarian function and for developing targeted therapies for ovarian cancer.

  • How do Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells relate to ovarian cancer?

    The majority of ovarian cancers are believed to originate from Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells. Studying these cells can provide insights into the early events of ovarian carcinogenesis, helping to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer.

  • Can Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells be used in drug screening?

    Yes, Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells can be used in drug screening, particularly for testing the effects of chemotherapeutic agents or targeted therapies on ovarian cells. They provide a relevant model for assessing the response of ovarian tissue to various treatments.
