Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (HCAEC)
Primary Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (HCAEC) are isolated from the coronary arteries (the right and the left coronary artery, including the anterior descending and the circumflex branches) from single donors. They are crucially involved in the regulation of coronary blood flow and cardiac functions and are consequently useful for in vitro studies of diseases such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. HCAEC are also suitable for studying functional vasodilators, such as prostacyclin, bradykinin, or nitric oxide.

Some of our customers have successfully used PromoCell Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2 (C-22022) when co-culturing Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (HCAEC; C-12221) and Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDF; C-12300).
Short protocol:
- Trypsinize the cells as usual
- Centrifuge and resuspend in suitable cold freezing medium at a density of 1-4 x 106 cells/ml
- Cool down the cells slowly to -80°C (approx. -1°C per min). We recommend to use "Mr. Frosty" from Nalge or "CoolCell" from Biocision; which both provide gradual and controlled cooling rates when placed in a -80°C freezer overnight.
- Transfer the vials into liquid nitrogen for long-term storage
- Mesenchymal Stem Cells (C-12974/C-12971/C-12977) need Fibronectin-coating when grown in PromoCell MSC Growth Medium XF (C-28019) and when differentiated in MSC Neurogenic (C-28015); Adipogenic (C-28016); or Osteogenic (C-28013) Differentiation Media.
- Human monocyte-derived macrophages (C-12914/C-12916/C-12915/C-12917) must be seeded into Fibronectin-coated culture vessels in combination with PromoCell's M1- and M2-Generation Media XF (C-28055; C-28056).
- For efficient induction of osteoblast mineralization with PromoCell's Osteoblast Mineralization Medium (C-27020); the TC plates should be pre-coated with collagen type I.
- Liquid phase storage provides a consistent temperature of -196°C; a longer holding time and a greater vial capacity but involves the risk of contamination issues.
- Storage in the gas phase is very safe with respect to contaminations but the holding time of the cells is shorter and the vial capacity is reduced.
The study of angiogenesis has been significantly advanced by the ability to culture endothelial cells in vitro. Initially large vessel ECs such as those isolated from the human umbilical vein (HUVEC) were used for these studies but increasingly it has been recognized that microvascular endothelial cells are a more appropriate model since angiogenesis involves microvessels rather than large vessel ECs.
