Cell Name: Human Kidney Fibroblasts

Description

Human kidney fibroblasts (HKF), or renal fibroblasts, are mesenchymal cells that display spindle-shaped morphology. They can be found in renal cortical interstitium and play an important role in maintaining extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostatic by controlling ECM production and degradation. Abnormal kidney fibroblast proliferation can lead to kidney ECM accumulation and often lead to renal fibrosis, which may develop into chronic kidney disease. Kidney interstitial fibroblast also plays a key role in endocrine control. They are the source of erythropoietin (EPO), a glycoprotein hormone that is central for proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells. A well-functioned renal cortical fibroblast can protect human against anaemia.
