The ARPE19 cell line, derived from a 19-year-old male, is a spontaneously immortalized retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line that closely mimics in vivo RPE properties. Adherent and culturable for over 30 passages, these cells demonstrate morphological polarization and tight junction formation on laminin-coated filters with low serum concentration, resulting in substantial transepithelial resistance. They express RPE-specific markers CRALBP and RPE-65, indicating stable, polarized monolayers. Compared to other RPE lines, ARPE19 has lower transepithelial resistance and RPE gene expression. With a doubling time of 55-65 hours and 48 population doublings, it exhibits elevated gene expression related to chromatin regulation, early eye development, and muscle contraction networks in iPSC-RPE.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
ARPE19 cells are extensively employed in biomedical research, notably in ophthalmology, and serve as a valuable tool for in vitro investigations into retinal pigment epithelium physiology. They enable researchers to study various retinal conditions by manipulating pigment levels, making them a versatile model system. These cells are well-suited for transfection studies and can simulate retinal pigment epithelium pigmentation processes. Nonetheless, researchers should exercise caution when utilizing ARPE19 cells to model native RPE cells in retinal disease research due to the presence of both mortal and immortal cell populations within the line.
