Immortalized Mouse Urogenital Sinus Mesenchymal Cells (UGSM-2)
Cat.No.: CSC-I9252L
Species: Mus musculus
Source: Prostate
Morphology: Spindle-shape fibroblast-like
Culture Properties: Adherent
- Specification
- Q & A
- Customer Review
Co-culture of UGSM-2 cells with human prostate epithelium cells BPH-1, or co-graftingin vivoresults in organized clusters of BPH-1 cells surrounded by a mantle of the UGSM-2 cells. The cells are responsive to Sonic hedgehog (SHH), an important signaling factor in prostate development, and mimic the transcriptional response of the intact UGS mesenchyme. This cell line is a useful model for studying the prostate stroma-epithelium signalling way, which plays an important role in prostate development and cancer progression.
Note: Never can cells be kept at -20 °C.

Description: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor, a receptor uniquely expressed in ovarian granulosa and testicular sertoli cells, play an important role in the regulation of oogenesis, spermatogenesis and steroid hormone production. Unfortunately FSH receptor expression is often lost within 1-2 days ofin vitroculture of primary cells. The Immortalized Rat Steroidogenic Granulosa Cells stably expressing FSH Receptor is responsive to FSH stimulation and produces progesterone as a result at levels comparable to primary cells. This cell line is useful in studying FSH-FSH receptor interactions, as well as how FSH receptor regulates the development and maturation of ovarian follicle. Together with theImmortalized Rat Steroidogenic Granulosa Cells expressing LH Receptor, researchers can compare the LH and FSH signaling in homologues cell systems.
Description: The Immortalized Mouse Retinal Pigmented Epithelial Cells- HPV E6/E7, derived from healthy C57B1/6 mouse RPE cells, is a cell line that retained many of theirin vivophenotypic characteristics. RPE-specific markers such as RPE65 and cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP), as well as epithelial markers ZO1, cytokeratin 8 and 18 are expressed in the Immortalized Mouse Retinal Pigmented Epithelial Cells- HPV E6/E7. These cells are useful in studies of RPE cell biology and investigation of ocular disease including age related macular degeneration (AMD).
