Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) play a critical role in the regulation of hair follicle (HF) growth, formation, and cycling. DPCs are thought to regulate HF growth through a paracrine mechanism, in which exosomes may play a critical role.
DPC-Exos were cutaneously injected into HFs at different HF cycle stages and the effects were evaluated by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. The effects of DPC-Exos on proliferation, migration, and cell cycle status of outer root sheath cells (ORSCs) were evaluated. After treatment of DPC-Exos, changes in mRNA and protein levels of β-catenin and Sonic hedgehog (Shh) in ORSCs were detected.
DPC-Exos were approximately 105 nm in diameter and expressed tumor susceptibility gene 101, cluster of differentiation (CD)9, and CD63. Injection of DPC-Exos accelerated the onset of HF anagen and delayed catagen in mice. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that β-catenin and Shh levels were upregulated in the skin. In vitro, DPC-Exo treatment enhanced ORSC proliferation and migration, and stimulated the expression of β-catenin and Shh.
DPC-Exos contribute to the regulation of HF growth and development, and provide a potential avenue for the treatment of hair loss.
真皮乳头细胞(DPC)在毛囊(HF)生长、形成和周期调控中起着关键作用。DPC 被认为通过旁分泌机制调节 HF 生长,其中外泌体可能起着关键作用。
将 DPC-Exos 注射到不同 HF 周期阶段的 HF 中,并通过组织学和免疫组织化学分析评估其效果。评估 DPC-Exos 对毛鞘细胞(ORSCs)增殖、迁移和细胞周期状态的影响。在处理 DPC-Exos 后,检测 ORSCs 中β-连环蛋白和 Sonic hedgehog(Shh)的 mRNA 和蛋白水平变化。
DPC-Exos 的直径约为 105nm,表达肿瘤易感性基因 101、分化(CD)9 和 CD63。DPC-Exos 的注射加速了小鼠 HF 生长期的开始,并延迟了 HF 退行期的开始。免疫组织化学分析显示皮肤中β-连环蛋白和 Shh 水平上调。在体外,DPC-Exo 处理增强了 ORSC 的增殖和迁移,并刺激了β-连环蛋白和 Shh 的表达。
DPC-Exos 有助于调节 HF 的生长和发育,为治疗脱发提供了一种潜在的途径。
