Human Esophageal Epithelial Cells

Human esophageal epithelial cells are separated from the esophagus, which is a hollow tubular organ cosisting of mucosa or epithelium, submucosa, muscle, and adventitia. The stratified squamous esophageal epithelium serves as a barrier that prevents mechanical and chemical damage caused by food stream. The esophageal epithelium has three compartments: a proliferating basal cell compartment, a differentiating suprabasal cell compartment, and a superficial squamous cell compartment. The basal cells of esophageal epithelium express cytokeratins 5 and 14 (CK5, CK14). The suprabasal layer expresses CK4 and CK17. Filaggrin and involucrin are found in the superficial cell layer of the esophagus. Different from murine esophageal epithelium, human esophageal epithelium is non-keratinized with the retained cell nucleus.
