- HaCaT cells are a pivotal model in dermatological research, offering insights into the complex mechanisms of skin biology and pathology. The spontaneously immortalized HaCaT cell line is derived from adult human epidermal cells and retains the capacity to proliferate and undergo differentiation, similar to basal keratinocytes in vivo. HaCaT cells serve as a robust platform for investigating the epidermal differentiation process and studying the epidermal differentiation markers essential for maintaining skin integrity. The susceptibility of HaCaT cells to apoptosis and their sensitivity to apoptosis-inducing agents are extensively studied, particularly in the context of cytotoxic agents like RIPL. Researchers assess these agents' cytotoxicities and the extent of cytotoxicity using HaCaT cells, utilizing techniques such as fluorescence microscopy to visualize cellular changes. Researchers have leveraged HaCaT cells to examine the effects of various agents, including antimicrobial substrates and their influence on cell viability. These cells are an excellent substrate for testing antimicrobial biomaterials and antimicrobial atelocollagen substrates, crucial for skin repair and medical applications. The HaCaT epidermal line also plays a crucial role in studying cellular senescence, cytokines, and gene expression profiles related to aging and chronic diseases. The transcriptional profiles of HaCaT cells, including the role of K KappaB and microRNAs, provide insight into the regulatory mechanisms at the molecular level. The HaCaT keratinocyte line, with their characteristics as epidermal keratinocytes, offers a tractable system for dissecting the intricate interplay between epidermal cells and the immune system, specifically the role of keratinocytes in disease states. They enable the exploration of epigenetic modifications and their influence on the differentiation of keratinocytes, including the formation of the cornified envelope, a key feature in the skin's barrier function. In summary, HaCaT cells are an indispensable model in dermatological research, facilitating a deeper understanding of skin biology and pathology through their resemblance to basal keratinocytes and their ability to undergo cell growth and differentiation. Their application spans from studying epidermal differentiation and antimicrobial effects to exploring cellular responses such as apoptosis, making them a cornerstone in cell biology and biomedical research.
