Caco-2 (from Cancer coli, "colon cancer") is an immortalized cell line of human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. It is primarily used as a model of the intestinal epithelial barrier. [1] . In culture, Caco-2 cells spontaneously differentiate into a heterogeneous mixture of intestinal epithelial cells. [1] .

Caco-2 [Caco2] is an adherent cell line isolated from colon tissue derived from a patient with colorectal adenocarcinoma. These cells express characteristics of enterocytic differentiation upon confluence and are a commonly used line for mimicking the small intestine in …

The human epithelial cell line Caco-2 has been widely used as a model of the intestinal epithelial barrier. The Caco-2 cell line is originally derived from a colon carcinoma. However, one of its most advantageous properties is its ability to spontaneously differentiate into a monolayer of cells with …

The Caco-2 cell line derived from human colon carcinoma is commonly used to assess the permeability of compounds in in vitro conditions. Due to the significant increase in permeability studies using the Caco-2 cell line in recent years, the need to ...

The Caco-2 cell line is originally derived from a colon carcinoma. However, one of its most advantageous properties is its ability to spontaneously differentiate into a monolayer of cells with many properties typical of absorptive enterocytes with …

Although the colonic cell line Caco-2 is widely used as a model of the small intestinal barrier function, it has limitations such as overestimated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) compared to in vivo conditions.

Caco-2, a cell line obtained from human colon adenocarcinoma, is the most well-established intestinal cell model to date. Caco-2 cells differentiate into enterocyte-like cells after 21 days in culture and express a number of characteristic transporters [1,2]. Since Caco-2 is the gold-standard model to study intestinal absorption, this review ...

calcium acetate the calcium salt of acetic acid; administered orally as a source of calcium and as a phosphate binder, such as in patients with end-stage renal disease. Also used as a pharmaceutical buffering agent.

We tested the culture of Caco-2 cells with human platelet lysate (PL) instead of FCS. We compared cell viability and differentiation by measuring ATP levels, gene and protein expression of specific markers in total cell extracts, brush border …

Aug 25, 2022 · The Caco-2 monolayer is regarded as an in vitro gold-standard in prediction of intestinal permeability. It finds extensive use in preclinical studies for screening of drugs and elucidating their transport mechanisms, presystemic metabolism and cytotoxicity.
