Cellartis Intestinal Epithelial Cells (from ChiPSC18) are small intestinal epithelial cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells. This product includes the following items: one frozen vial of Cellartis Intestinal Epithelial Cells (from ChiPSC18) and one Cellartis IEC Maturation Kit.
Overview
Cells form tight junctions within 5 days of thawing and can be used on Days 5–8 post-thaw
Cells express intestinal markers (e.g., villin and CDX2) at high levels
Drug metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4 and drug transporter PEPT1 are expressed at high levels compared to Caco-2 cells
Cells form a functional, permeable barrier that can be used to predict in vivo drug permeability and absorption
Applications
Evaluation of drug absorption and metabolism in the small intestine
Expression of the intestinal epithelial markers villin and CDX2
Intestinal epithelial markers villin and CDX2 are expressed at high levels in our hiPSC-derived intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) compared to Caco-2 cells on Day 7 post-thaw.
Immunostaining of tight junction protein ZO-1
Immunostaining for tight junction protein ZO-1 shows formation of intercellular tight junctions (i.e., zonula occludens) by Day 5 post-thaw.
