Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells: HUVEC

Quantity

Description

Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) provide a classic model system to study many aspects of endothelial function and disease, such as normal, abnormal and tumor-associated angiogenesis, oxidative stress, hypoxia and inflammation related pathways in endothelia under normal and pathological conditions, cardiovascular-related complications associated with various diseases, mode of action and cardiovascular protection effects of various compounds, etc.

Select HUVEC lots have been tested to demonstrate stimulation-dependent angiogenesis and key endothelial cell signaling pathways (phosphorylation of VEGFR2). More information about pre-screened endothelial cells can be found on the Pre-Screened Endothelial Cell Product Page.

HUVEC from Cell Applications, Inc. have been utilized in numerous research publications, for example, to:

  • Understand anti-inflammatory properties of HDL
  • Develop scaffolds for tissue engineering
  • Characterize endothelial cell response to stress and discover mechanisms that protect mitochondria against oxidative stress
  • Demonstrate that prolonged hypoxia induces MMP-1 expression, EC migration and angiogenesis
  • Show that Alzheimer’s β-amyloid peptide exhibits anti-angiogenic properties
  • Demonstrate for the first time that mature miRNA can control gene expression in a cell where it is neither transcribed nor processed
  • Show that abnormal matrix composition characteristic for systemic sclerosis leads to impaired vascular function and angiogenesis
  • Discover novel mechanisms of inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, by limiting EC migration and proliferation, as well as the expression of growth factors and enzymes
  • Develop a bubble lyposome based system that enables therapeutic miRNA delivery
  • Demonstrate that commercially used flame retardants cause oxidative stress
  • Show that hyperglycemia leads to endothelial dysfunction, partially due to depletion of antioxidants, and that regaining glycemic control normalizes growth factor levels in ischemia and improves perfusion recovery
  • Show that inhibition of aldose reductase inhibits migration and formation of capillary-like structures by endothelial cells
  • Investigate effects of molecular mobility of the outmost material surfaces on cellular adhesion and organization
  • Identify signaling differences in cells cultured on different ECM components.
  • Investigate mechanisms of cardiovascular protection exerted by bioactive plant and fungal components
  • Show that in low doses coumaric acid and resveratrol provide beneficial effects and protect endothelial cells from reactive oxygen species
  • Show that combined treatment with melatonin and atorvastatin reversed damage to EC, partly by reducing free radical generation and lipid peroxidation
  • Discover that deferoxamine (DFO), an iron-chelating agent, mitigates deleterious effects of radiation on angiogenesis
  • Study the differential effects of wood smoke and diesel exhaust particles, as well as carbon nanotubes on inducing oxidative stress and production of cytokines and adhesion molecules in endothelia
