Description

Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMECs) are primary endothelial cells isolated from the microvasculature (capillary bed) of healthy human lung tissue. These adherent cells exhibit a cobblestone-like morphology when confluent and maintain strong proliferative capacity at early passages. HPMECs express specific endothelial markers such as CD31 (PECAM-1), VE-cadherin, von Willebrand factor (vWF), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2/KDR). They retain the ability to form capillary-like structures in vitro, internalize acetylated LDL, and bind Ulex europaeus lectin, confirming their microvascular phenotype. HPMECs are highly responsive to hypoxia, inflammation, and angiogenic stimuli, making them an excellent model for lung-specific vascular biology. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

Application

  • Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMECs), also referred to as primary lung capillary endothelium or human lung microvascular cells, are ideal for studying lung-specific microvascular physiology, including vascular permeability, angiogenesis, and barrier function under various stimuli (e.g., LPS, hypoxia, cytokines). They are critical for modeling acute lung injury (ALI), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and pulmonary inflammation, as well as for investigating leukocyte–endothelial interactions, tight junction dynamics, and vascular leak syndromes. HPMECs also support drug screening for anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, or endothelium-stabilizing compounds, especially in the context of lung injury and chronic pulmonary vascular diseases.
