Pancreatic fibroblasts are mesenchymal cells found in periacinar, perivascular and periductal regions of pancreas with an essential role in structural support and would healing. Increasing evidences have suggested that pancreas harbours a heterogenous population of fibroblasts with distinct functions and expression patterns. The potential of pancreatic associated fibroblasts to promote fibrosis and develop into fibroinflammatory stroma is commonly associated with pancreatic diseases such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA).
Why choose Human Pancreatic Fibroblasts from AcceGen?
Human Pancreatic Fibroblasts are cryopreserved at passage 1 immediately after purification and delivered in dry ice. Each vial contains > 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. Human pancreatic fibroblasts are not detected with HIV-1, HBV, HCV and other pathogens. Cells are characterized to positively express desmin and GFAP by immunofluorescence. Cells are tested negative for von Willebrand Factor Expression/Factor VIII, cytokeratin 18, and alpha smooth muscle actin. Human pancreatic fibroblasts are guaranteed to further expand for 3-5 passages following AcceGen recommended cell culture protocols.

Human pancreatic fibroblasts are specialized cells located in the pancreas that provide structural support and produce extracellular matrix components. They play a crucial role in maintaining the tissue architecture and function of the pancreas.
The primary function of pancreatic fibroblasts is to synthesize and remodel the extracellular matrix, support pancreatic tissue structure, and facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. They also play a role in modulating inflammation and fibrosis.
In the tumor microenvironment, pancreatic fibroblasts (often referred to as cancer-associated fibroblasts, or CAFs) secrete growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components that support tumor cell survival, proliferation, and invasion. They also contribute to the development of a fibrotic stroma that can impede drug delivery.
Therapeutic applications include developing drugs that target fibroblast activity to reduce fibrosis and improve pancreatic function in diseases like chronic pancreatitis. In pancreatic cancer, targeting fibroblasts and their interactions with cancer cells could enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatments and inhibit tumor progression.
