Intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells (IBEpiC) are epithelial cells that line the intrahepatic bile ducts, a network of small tubes that carry bile within the liver. Current understanding suggests that they are derived from hepatoblasts, which are also precursor cells to hepatocytes. The human intrahepatic biliary epithelium is formed by ducts of different sizes and cholangiocytes of different cell areas. IBEpiC have complex physiological and metabolic functions, participating in the liver metabolism, excretion and other physiological processes. They also play an active immunologic role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Studies have shown that intrahepatic bile duct lesions, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma, target intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells, which in turn cause damage to the intrahepatic bile duct epithelium. Markers for IBEpiC include KRT7, KRT19, CK7, CK19, SOX9和SPP1.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
Human IBEpiC can be used as an in vitro model to study the pathogenesis of intrahepatic bile duct diseases, which is of great significance for improving diagnosis and treatment. Cholangiopathy is a chronic liver disease, including primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, polycystic liver disease, and cholangiocarcinoma. Due to the lack of effective medical treatment, it often progresses to end-stage liver disease with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the study of immune regulation in Human IBEpiC will help to develop new genetic or pharmacological strategies to treat cholangiopathy. The cells are not suitable for liver transplantation.
