RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Autologous cell-based therapy using dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells was reported as a new treatment for male and female pattern hair loss. However, the mechanisms underlying its action remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of DSC cells in cell-based therapy. METHODS: We conducted multivariate analysis to categorize individuals based on treatment response as responders and non-responders. The differentially expressed genes in DSC cells from the two groups were evaluated using bulk transcriptome, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and single-cell transcriptome analyses. We performed live cell imaging combined with immunostaining to characterize the DSC subpopulation associated with responders. RESULTS: We identified nine and three genes as high efficacy (HE) and low efficacy (LE) marker genes, respectively. The HE subpopulations were enriched for cell migration-related genes in single-cell analysis. In contrast, the LE subpopulation was enriched for basement membrane and vasculature-related genes. Moreover, DSC cells in culture were immunocytochemically and morphologically heterogeneous, expressing characteristic factors. Furthermore, live cell imaging showed that DSC cells expressing integrin subunit alpha 6 (ITGA6), an HE subpopulation gene, had markedly higher mobility than those expressing the LE subpopulation genes collagen type IV or CD36. CONCLUSIONS: ITGA6-positive DSC cells, with superior migratory activity, may contribute to cell-based therapy by promoting cell migration into nearby hair follicles.

RESUMO

In a clinical study of autologous cell-based therapy using dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells, the treatment of hair loss showed improvements. However, the outcomes were variable. Here, correlations between marker gene expression in DSC cells and treatment outcomes were assessed to predict therapeutic efficacy. Overall, 32 DSC cell lines were used to evaluate correlations between marker gene expression and treatment outcomes. Correlations between vascular pericyte and preadipocyte marker expression and treatment outcomes were inconsistent. As smooth muscle cell markers, MYOCD correlated negatively with treatment outcomes and SRF consistently demonstrated an inverse correlation. Additionally, CALD1 correlated negatively and ACTA2 correlated inversely with treatment outcomes. DSC cell lines were divided into good and moderate/poor responders to further investigate the correlations. SRF and CALD1 were lower in a good responder compared with a moderate responder. Next, DSC cells were differentiated toward dermal papilla cells. Dermal papilla markers SOX2 and LEF1 before differentiation had moderate positive and inverse correlations with the treatment outcome, respectively. SOX2 after differentiation more consistently demonstrated a positive correlation. Significant downregulation of smooth muscle-related genes was also observed after differentiation. These findings revealed putative markers for preclinical evaluation of DSC cells to improve hair loss.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Few effective treatments are available for male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or, especially, for female pattern hair loss (FPHL). Recently, cell-based therapies using autologous or allogeneic cells have been used clinically. OBJECTIVE: We examined the safety and efficacy of autologous cell-based therapy using dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells to treat MPHL and FPHL. METHODS: DSCs dissected from occipital hair follicles were cultured to manufacture DSC cells. Participants with MPHL or FPHL received single injections of 7.5 × 106, 1.5 × 106, or 3.0 × 105 DSC cells or a placebo in 4 randomized separate regions on the scalp, and hair densities and diameters were measured for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. RESULTS: Fifty men and 15 women aged 33 to 64 years were injected with DSC cells. Total hair density and cumulative hair diameter at the 3.0 × 105 DSC cells injection site was significantly increased compared with the placebo after 6 and 9 months. Men and women showed similar improvements, and there were no serious adverse events. LIMITATIONS: No lower cell numbers were tested, and the positive effect was temporary until 9 months. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that cell therapy with autologous DSC cells may be useful as a new therapeutic method for treating MPHL and FPHL.

RESUMO

Dermal sheath (DS) is located at the outermost border of hair follicles, comprising the connective tissue sheath of these follicles; DS cells are known to contribute to hair cycling and follicle neogenesis. However, the mechanisms by which DS cells contribute to hair formation are currently unclear. We investigated the global transcriptional profile of human DS cells in early passaged culture, compared with those of human dermal papilla cells (DP cells) and dermal fibroblasts. Vascular related genes were highly expressed in DS cells, and expression of the multi-ligand receptor, CD36, was significantly higher in DS cells than in DP cells. Further analyses with whole-mount imaging technique showed that dense networks of blood capillaries were formed in the DS of human anagen hair follicles, whereas regression of blood capillaries was observed in telogen and catagen hair follicles. We found that CD36-expressing cells were present in populations of DS cells, but were rarely observed in populations of DP cells and fibroblasts. Furthermore, our results indicated that CD36-expressing DS cells may participate in angiogenesis. Therefore, we concluded that CD36-expressing DS cells may modulate blood capillaries in hair follicles, in association with hair cycling.

RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to accomplish de novo generation of reconstituted human skin with enriched hair follicles. Dermal papillae (DP) are known to play a crucial organizing role in hair follicle induction. However, generation of enriched human hair follicles using cultured DP cells has not been accomplished because DP cells easily lose their hair-inducing ability with culturing. To enhance the hair-inducing ability of DP cells, Wnt signaling pathway activation or three-dimensional (3D) spheroid culture methods were employed in previous studies. Herein, we assessed effects of the canonical Wnt/ß-catenin signaling activator CHIR99021 and found that it enhanced the expression of DP signature genes associated with hair-inducing ability. Further comparison of three different 3D culture methods revealed the highest expression of DP signature genes in spheroids generated by a floating drop method compared with other methods. CHIR99021 synergistically increased expression of DP signature genes in combination with floating drop culture. "Reconstituted skin assay" prepared using the most promising CHIR99021-stimulated 3D spheroids showed enrichment for human hair follicles. Labeled DP spheroids and derived cells were primarily found to be DP and dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells, implying organization of hair formation by DP spheroids. Finally, to evaluate the functional features of generated human skin and hair follicles, we injected human DSC cells, which reportedly show DP precursor behavior, and exhibit hair-inducing ability through incorporation into hair follicles, into mice. Histological studies revealed injected DSC cells in dermal sheath of hair follicles, consistent with a previous report, thus verifying the functionality of generated skin and hair follicles. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that DP spheroids synergistically stimulated by CHIR99021 and 3D culture contributed to hair follicle formation, thus making it possible to generate reconstituted hair follicle-enriched human skin with functional features.

RESUMO

Epidermal lamellar granules transport various lipids, proteins, and protein inhibitors from the trans-Golgi network to the extracellular space, and play an important role in skin barrier formation. We elucidated the 3-dimensional structure of lamellar granules and the trans-Golgi network in normal human skin by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy. Reconstructed focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy 3-dimensional images revealed that the overall lamellar granule structure changed from vesicular to reticular within the second layer of the stratum granulosum. Furthermore, the trans-Golgi network was well developed within this layer and spread through the cytoplasm with branched, tubular structures that connected to lamellar granules. Our study reveals the unique overall 3-dimensional structure of lamellar granules and the trans-Golgi network within the cells of the epidermis, and provides the basis for an understanding of the skin barrier formation.

RESUMO

Cells that constitute the dermal papillae of hair follicles might be derived from the dermal sheath, the peribulbar component of which is the dermal sheath cup. The dermal sheath cup is thought to include the progenitor cells of the dermal papillae and possesses hair inductive potential; however, it has not yet been well characterized. This study investigated the gene expression profile of the intact dermal sheath cup, and identified dermal sheath cup signature genes, including extracellular matrix components and bone morphogenetic protein-binding molecules, as well as transforming frowth factor beta 1 as an upstream regulator. Among these, gremilin-2, a member of the bone morphogenetic protein antagonists, was found by in situ hybridization to be highly specific to the dermal sheath cup, implying that gremlin-2 is a key molecule contributing to maintenance of the properties of the dermal sheath cup.

RESUMO

Adenosine is an effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in Japanese men and women. Adenosine exerts its effects by significantly increasing the proportion of thick hair. In this study, we assessed the clinical outcome of adenosine treatment for 6 months in 38 Caucasian men. The change in proportion of thick hair (≥60 µm) compared with baseline in the adenosine group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group (P < 0.0001). The change in vellus hair proportion (<40 µm) was significantly lower in the adenosine group than that in the placebo group (P = 0.0154). The change in hair density compared with baseline of the adenosine group was also significantly higher compared with that of the placebo group (P = 0.0470). No adverse effects due to treatment were noted during this study by dermatological evaluation. Adenosine is effective in increasing the proportion of thick hair in Caucasian men with AGA as well as in Japanese men and women.

RESUMO

D-serine is an endogenous coagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor in the central nervous system and its synthesis is catalyzed by serine racemase (SR). Recently, the NMDA receptor has been found to be expressed in keratinocytes (KCs) of the skin and involved in the regulation of KC growth and differentiation. However, the localization and role of SR in the skin remain unknown. Here, using SR-knockout (SR-KO) mice as the control, we demonstrated the localization of the SR protein in the granular and cornified layer of the epidermis of wild-type (WT) mice and its appearance in confluent WT KCs. We also demonstrated the existence of a mechanism for conversion of L-serine to D-serine in epidermal KCs. Furthermore, we found increased expression levels of genes involved in the differentiation of epidermal KCs in adult SR-KO mice, and alterations in the barrier function and ultrastructure of the epidermis in postnatal day 5 SR-KO mice. Our findings suggest that SR in the skin epidermis is involved in the differentiation of epidermal KCs and the formation of the skin barrier.

RESUMO

Recent studies revealed that mammalian dermis contains multipotent stem cells such as skin-derived precursors (SKPs). SKPs grow in suspension as spheres. In contrast, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adherent fibroblastic cells. Here, we describe the procedure to isolate MSCs under low-serum culture conditions. In addition, we explain the method to collect MSCs using magnetic cell sorting.

RESUMO

It is well known that dermal papilla cells (DPCs) play crucial roles in hair follicle induction. In this study, we examined whether Wnt/ß-catenin activation results in maintenance of the hair-inducing ability of human DPCs. Expression of DPC marker genes was maintained under Wnt/ß-catenin signalling stimulation by GSK-3ß inhibition. Furthermore, human DPCs showed constant hair induction when transplanted with murine epidermal cell fraction. Alu-positive human DPCs were essentially detected adjacent to the reconstructing epidermal structure positive for P-cadherin immunoreactivity. The transplanted human DPCs were abundant in the surrounding dermal sheath portion of the fully regenerated hair follicles. These results support the importance of Wnt/ß-catenin signalling in hair follicle induction. This study may provide valuable information to establish a culture method of human DPCs for cell-based therapy.

RESUMO

Transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a member of the NF-kappaB pathway and regulates inflammatory responses. We previously showed that TAK1 also regulates keratinocyte growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. However, it is unknown whether TAK1 has any role in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. To examine this possibility, we studied the role of TAK1 in mouse hair follicle development and cycling as an instructive model system. By comparing keratinocyte-specific TAK1-deficient mice (Map3k7(fl/fl)K5-Cre) with control mice, we found that the number of hair germs (hair follicles precursors) in Map3k7(fl/fl)K5-Cre mice was significantly reduced at E15.5, and that subsequent hair follicle morphogenesis was retarded. Next, we analyzed the role of TAK1 in the cyclic remodeling in follicles by analyzing hair cycle progression in mice with a tamoxifen-inducible keratinocyte-specific TAK1 deficiency (Map3k7(fl/fl)K14-Cre-ER(T2)). After active hair growth (anagen) was induced by depilation, TAK1 was deleted by topical tamoxifen application. This resulted in significantly retarded anagen development in TAK1-deficient mice. Deletion of TAK1 in hair follicles that were already in anagen induced premature, apoptosis-driven hair follicle regression, along with hair follicle damage. These studies provide the first evidence that the inflammatory mediator TAK1 regulates hair follicle induction and morphogenesis, and is required for anagen induction and anagen maintenance.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to identify novel inducers of hair growth using gene expression profiling at various stages of hair-growth induction. First, we analyzed gene expression at the onset of hair growth in mice induced by cyclosporin A (CsA), a well-known hair-growth inducer, using DNA microarray analysis. The results unveiled genes involved in the step-by-step progression of hair growth, including increases in melanin biosynthesis and decreases in immune response at d 2 and the subsequent stimulation of cell proliferation at d 4, followed by the up-regulation of hair specific keratins at d 7 after CsA treatment. With the use of the connectivity map (Cmap), agents that had a similar "gene signature" to that of the profiles of CsA-treated mice were identified. Several agents, including CsA, were identified by the Cmap and were evaluated for hair induction activity in vivo. One of the proposed agents, fluphenazine (from the d 2 signature) actually induced hair growth in vivo (ED(50): 2 mM for single application), and the subsequent application of 5 mM iloprost (from the d 4 signature) significantly enhanced the hair-growth effect of fluphenazine. From these results, Cmap analysis was proven to be a useful method that connects gene expression profiles of complicated biological processes, such as hair-growth induction, to effective agents.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Repeated exposures to ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) induce pigmented spots on dorsal skin of (HR-1 x HR/De) F(1) hairless mouse. We showed previously that this mouse is suitable for studies of melanocyte function. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the mechanism of development of pigmented spots induced by chronic UVB exposure. METHODS: We used light and fluorescence microscopy to quantify changes in the numbers of differentiated melanocytes containing melanin pigments (MM) and melanoblasts/melanocytes immunohistochemically positive for tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, TRP-2 (dopachrome tautomerase), and c-kit in epidermis during the development of pigmented spots in hairless mice chronically exposed to UVB (99 mJ/cm(2), 3 times/week, 8 weeks). RESULTS: The change in the number of TRP-1-positive cells during chronic UVB exposure was similar to that of MM: both increased dramatically during the stage of acute pigmentation, then decreased sharply after cessation of UVB, concomitantly with depigmentation; subsequently they increased gradually with the development of pigmented spots. In contrast, after two UVB exposures, no c-kit-positive cells were detected, then the number gradually increased during UVB irradiation, and continued to increase after cessation of irradiation; TRP-2-positive cells showed a rather similar pattern, except that they did not disappear initially. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that chronic UVB irradiation induces differentiation and proliferation of melanoblasts, followed by an increase of differentiated melanocytes, leading to the development of pigmented spots. The sequence of expression of markers appeared to be c-kit, TRP-2, TRP-1, and finally melanin, as it is during normal melanocyte differentiation.

RESUMO

Adenosine upregulates the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor-7 in cultured dermal papilla cells. It has been shown that, in Japanese men, adenosine improves androgenetic alopecia due to the thickening of thin hair due to hair follicle miniaturization. To investigate the efficacy and safety of adenosine treatment to improve hair loss in women, 30 Japanese women with female pattern hair loss were recruited for this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Volunteers used either 0.75% adenosine lotion or a placebo lotion topically twice daily for 12 months. Efficacy was evaluated by dermatologists and by investigators and in phototrichograms. As a result, adenosine was significantly superior to the placebo according to assessments by dermatologists and investigators and by self-assessments. Adenosine significantly increased the anagen hair growth rate and the thick hair rate. No side-effects were encountered during the trial. Adenosine improved hair loss in Japanese women by stimulating hair growth and by thickening hair shafts. Adenosine is useful for treating female pattern hair loss in women as well as androgenetic alopecia in men.
