Human Renal Proximal Tubule Cells (RPTCs) are primary epithelial cells isolated from the proximal convoluted segment of normal adult human kidneys. In vitro, RPTCs display characteristic epithelial features, such as a spread monolayer, and retain their functional properties under specific culture conditions. They form a polarized monolayer and play essential roles in reabsorbing glucose, amino acids, sodium, and bicarbonate, while secreting waste and xenobiotics. RPTCs express renal markers like γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, megalin, and transporters (OAT1, OCT2), important for nephrotoxicity studies. They are sensitive to toxins and ischemia, making them a crucial in vitro model for kidney function and disease research. These cells are cryopreserved at early passage.

Due to their essential role in renal homeostasis, human renal proximal tubule cells provide a valuable tool for studying the biology and pathophysiology of renal tubular cells in vitro. They can used in studies including:
– HRPTCs repair mechanism after injury and their role in the progression of renal fibrosis.
– Intercellular talk between HRPTCs and other cells.
– High-throughput screening of drugs and toxicities.
– Role in renal diseases such as tubular necrosis, tubulointerstitial injury, nephrotoxicity, and renal cancer.
