Primary Human Uterine Microvascular Endothelial Cells isolated from the myometrium from single donors. Donors not pre-treated with hormones.
Primary Human Uterine Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HUtMEC) are isolated from the myometrium (middle layer of the uterine wall) from single donors who are not pre-treated with hormones. The cells stain positive for CD31 and von Willebrand factor and negative for smooth muscle α-actin.
During pregnancy HUtMEC propagate intensely and change their phenotype and expression pattern in response to sex steroids. This includes up-regulation of HUtMEC nitric oxide synthase activity, modulation of adhesion molecule expression, and an increase in endothelial cell survival and angiogenic activity. HUtMEC are involved in medical conditions like uterine fibroma or adenomysis.
