RNA expression profiling in primary and immortalized human mesothelial cells, and in human vein and microvascular endothelial cells
Mesothelial cells, which interact with endothelial cells, are widely used in research including cancer and drug development, have not been comprehensively profiled. We therefore performed RNA sequencing of polarized, primary peritoneal (HPMC) and immortalized pleural mesothelial cells (MeT-5A), and compared it to endothelial cells from umbilical vein (HUVEC) and cardiac capillaries (HCMEC).
