Cell Name: RPMI 2650

Human nasal septum carcinoma cell line. The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.

  • Description
    Derived from the nasal septum of a 52-year-old male patient afflicted with squamous cell carcinoma, RPMI 2650 is an epithelial cell line characterized by its distinctive morphological features. Immunoperoxidase staining confirms their positive keratin status. Mimicking the structure of nasal mucosa, these cells assemble into a polarized epithelium and showcase the presence of occludin, claudin-1, and E-cadherin, reminiscent of their natural counterparts. Interestingly, cells cultivated at the air-liquid (A-L) interface exhibit enhanced layering, elevated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), and reduced dextran and jacalin permeability compared to those at the L-L interface, which present a more differentiated appearance. Remarkably, these cells are proficient in TGF-beta secretion and display heightened responsiveness to stimuli such as HDM allergens and TNF-alpha, prompting amplified TGF-beta gene expression and subsequent protein release.
