Additional Info: The EOMA cell line was originally derived in 1980 from a mixed hemangioendothelioma arising in an adult mouse. [51514] The cells synthesize angiotensin-converting enzyme, express surface receptors for acetylated low density lipoprotein, produce thrombospondin and show intracellular staining with an antibody to von Willebrand factor. [51514] Cathepsin L is secreted by EOMA cells and is responsible for the generation of endostatin L. [47148] Although constitutive cytokine gene expression exists in EOMA cells, the level of IL-6 mRNA is prominently elevated by incubation with Liposome encapsulated hemoglobin (LEH). [53484] The cells constitutively express the vascular addressin identified by antibody MECA-99. EOMA cells exhibit characteristic endothelial cell properties, such as rearrangement into tubelike structures on Matrigel and retention of cobblestone morphology at confluence. They behave in vitro in a manner similar to microvascular endothelial cells. [51514]
