This study describes the characterization of a human endometrial epithelial cell line, hEM3. hEM3 is not transformed, can grow organoids, and does not harbor pathogenic mutations in genes involving DNA mismatch repair (MMR). hEM3 with ARID1A knockout has been generated for drug screening in an ARID1A-deficient and MMR-proficient context. In conclusion, hEM3 can be a model for studying endometrial pathogenesis.
