Human Intestinal Smooth Muscle Cells
Smooth muscle contraction is the fundamental event in gastrointestinal motion. Although many of the biochemical mechanisms underlying the excitation-contraction coupling are not yet defined, it is known that cytosolic Ca2+ is the essential component in the coupling phenomenon. Inflammation of the human intestine causes thickening of the smooth muscle layers which results from the increases in the smooth muscle-specific actins. The increased smooth muscle actins may affect force production and further demonstrate the plasticity of smooth muscle in the inflamed intestine. Studies also show that human intestinal smooth muscle cells respond to IL-1beta and TNF-alpha stimulation by releasing IL-6, which might significantly contribute to the overall systemic inflammatory response. The availability of human intestinal smooth muscle cells in culture will considerably enhance our ability to study the contractile, proliferative and connective tissue responses of the smooth muscle of the human gastrointestinal tract.HISMC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human intestine. HISMC are cryopreserved at passage one culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HISMC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to andALPHA;-smooth muscle actin and desmin. HISMC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HISMC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings in the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

Rat Intestinal Smooth Muscle Cells
Rat Intestinal Smooth Muscle Cells from Gentaur are isolated from tissue of Sprague-Dawley Rats. Rat Intestinal Smooth Muscle Cells are grown in T75 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 0.5 hour and incubated in Gentaur's Cell Culture Medium for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 1x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma and are characterized by immunofluorescent staining with antibodies to α-smooth muscle actin. Cells can be expanded on a multiwell culture plate ready for experiments under the cell culture conditions specified by Gentaur.Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.Standard biochemical procedures performed with smooth muscle cell cultures include the assays of cell to cell interaction, PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, immunofluorescent flow cytometry or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
