Heat stress (HS) negatively affects the development of hair follicles. The present study investigated the effect of vitamin A (VA) on the development of rabbit dermal papilla cells (DPCs) under HS and the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Addition of 0.4 mg/L VA to the culture medium significantly enhanced cell proliferation (P < 0.001) and inhibited the apoptosis of DPCs (P < 0.01). VA decreased the proportion of DPCs in G0/G1 stage of the cell cycle under HS along with the expression of caspase 3, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and microRNA 195 (miR-195) (P < 0.05). VA also activated the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathways. The results of the dual luciferase reporter assay showed that IGF1 expression was modulated by miR-195-5p. Over-expression of miR-195-5p in DPCs with HS+VA treatment significantly reduced cell viability and IGF1 signaling (P < 0.01) and increased apoptosis (P < 0.01) compared with the HS+VA group. The positive effects of VA on proliferation and apoptosis of DPCs under HS were significantly attenu-ated by blocking Wnt10b and β-catenin signaling with IWP-2 and XAV-939, respectively. These results demonstrate that VA can promote hair follicle development following HS via modulation of miR-195/IGF1 and Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathways.
热应激(HS)对毛囊发育产生负面影响。本研究调查了维生素A(VA)对热应激条件下兔真皮乳头细胞(DPCs)发育的影响及其潜在调控机制。向培养基中添加0.4mg/L VA可显著增强细胞增殖(P<0.001)并抑制DPCs的凋亡(P<0.01)。VA降低了热应激条件下处于细胞周期G0/G1期的DPCs比例,同时降低了半胱天冬酶3、热休克蛋白70(HSP70)和微小RNA 195(miR-195)的表达(P<0.05)。VA还激活了胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF1)和Wnt10b/β-连环蛋白信号通路。双荧光素酶报告基因检测结果表明,IGF1表达受miR-195-5p调控。与热应激+VA组相比,热应激+VA处理的DPCs中miR-195-5p过表达显著降低了细胞活力和IGF1信号(P<0.01),并增加了细胞凋亡(P<0.01)。分别用IWP-2和XAV-939阻断Wnt10b和β-连环蛋白信号通路后,VA对热应激条件下DPCs增殖和凋亡的积极作用显著减弱。这些结果表明,VA可通过调节miR-195/IGF1和Wnt10b/β-连环蛋白信号通路促进热应激后的毛囊发育。
