Human Renal Glomerular Endothelial Cells (HRGEC) are primary cells isolated from human kidney tissue, specifically the glomerular capillaries. These cells are cryopreserved at passage 0 (P0) or passage 1 (P1) and exhibit a cobblestone-like morphology with adherent growth properties. They form the innermost layer of the glomerular filtration barrier and regulate vascular permeability through interactions with podocytes and the basement membrane(1). Functionally, HRGEC express markers such as endothelin-1 and adhesion (e.g., ICAM-1, VCAM-1), which are upregulated during inflammatory or thrombotic processes. Dysfunction of these cells is implicated in diabetic nephropathy, glomerulosclerosis, and albuminuria, due to glycocalyx degradation and altered VE-cadherin expression under pathological conditions. HRGEC exhibit limited proliferative capacity and are not recommended for extended passaging to maintain population purity.

Human Renal Glomerular Endothelial Cells (HRGEC) cultured in vitro serve as valuable models for investigating the complex relationship between endothelial cells and renal diseases. These cells are essential tools for establishing in vitro disease models suitable for high-throughput and high-content screening. Studying HRGEC cultures helps researchers gain a comprehensive understanding of glomerular filtration, glomerular diseases, responses to glomerular injuries, and potential for therapeutic interventions. While some responses require in vivo studies, cell cultures allow detailed examination of individual cell behaviors and interactions of specific mediators, facilitating critical insights into renal health and pathology.
Human Renal Glomerular Endothelial Cells (HRGECs) are specialized endothelial cells that line the capillaries within the glomerulus, the functional unit of the kidney responsible for blood filtration. They form part of the glomerular filtration barrier, which selectively filters blood plasma to produce urine while retaining essential proteins and cells.
Human Renal Glomerular Endothelial Cells (HRGECs) are studied using in vitro cell culture models, animal models, and human tissue samples to understand their biology, function, and role in kidney diseases. Researchers also explore potential therapeutic strategies targeting HRGECs to treat or prevent renal disorders and improve kidney health.
Human Renal Glomerular Endothelial Cells (HRGECs) serve as a valuable tool for dissecting the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying kidney diseases. By studying HRGEC biology, researchers can uncover novel signaling pathways, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets implicated in renal pathophysiology, thus advancing our understanding and treatment of kidney disorders.
