Human Pancreatic Epithelial Cells are primary epithelial cells isolated from healthy adult human pancreatic tissue using enzymatic dissociation and selective adherence techniques. These cells are derived from the exocrine portion of the pancreas and are non-tumorigenic and non-metastatic, making them ideal for in vitro modeling of pancreatic physiology. They display polygonal morphology and grow as adherent monolayers under standard culture conditions. During development, the pancreatic epithelial network differentiates into acinar, ductal, and endocrine cell types, with endocrine progenitors emerging via delamination to form islets of Langerhans. These cells express cytokeratin-19 (CK19), a marker of ductal epithelium, and typically do not express insulin or glucagon, distinguishing them from endocrine cells. Their passage number is generally low to preserve primary characteristics. They are a valuable tool for studying pancreatic development, tissue engineering, and diabetes-related research.

Human Pancreatic Epithelial Cells find valuable applications in scientific research, particularly in investigating the functional impact of oncogenic point mutations in the K-Ras gene, a common driver of pancreatic cancer, which are prevalent in pancreatic cancer and play a crucial role in its early development. These cells serve as an in vitro model to study the transformation of normal pancreatic epithelial cells into cancerous ones. Additionally, they are utilized to identify potential human pancreatic carcinogens by assessing the cellular response to various potential carcinogens.
Human Pancreatic Epithelial Cells are cells derived from the epithelial tissue of the pancreas. They are typically isolated from donor pancreatic tissue using enzymatic digestion and are cultured for research purposes.
These cells are commonly used in studies related to pancreatic diseases, including diabetes, pancreatic cancer, and pancreatitis. They are also used in drug testing, toxicology studies, and research on pancreatic function and regeneration.
Human Pancreatic Epithelial Cells should be cultured in a specialized epithelial cell medium that supports their growth and function. The use of pre-coated surface may also be necessary to promote cell adhesion and proliferation.
Human Pancreatic Epithelial Cells are primarily involved in the formation of ducts and the secretion of digestive enzymes, whereas islet cells (including beta cells) are responsible for hormone production, such as insulin. Each cell type has distinct roles and is used for different types of research.
