Rat small intestine epithelial. Normal rat small intestine epithelial cells which synthesise fibronectin and collagen.
IEC-6 is a rat small intestinal epithelial cell line originally derived from crypt cells of the normal small intestine of an 18-24-day-old male Sprague Dawley rat. It exhibits typical epithelial-like morphology and grows as adherent monolayers in culture. IEC-6 cells maintain physiological functions of intestinal crypt cells, including expression of transporters and cytokine signaling molecules such as interleukin-1α, and can undergo differentiation-like changes under specific conditions. IEC-6 rat intestinal epithelial cells have been used to model barrier function, epithelial differentiation, and host–microbe interaction studies due to its similarity to normal intestinal epithelial physiology. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

IEC-6 cells are used as an in vitro model of normal intestinal epithelium for investigating epithelial barrier function, nutrient absorption mechanisms, cytokine expression, and epithelial differentiation. They support studies on transport processes (e.g., iron uptake), cytokine regulation, and host-microbiome interactions relevant to intestinal physiology and disease research.
