Dermal papilla (DP) cells play a vital role in hair follicle (HF) development and postnatal hair cycling. However, the abilities are lost on further culture. Recent studies have demonstrated significant influences of posttranscriptional regulation by microRNA (miRNA) on HF development. The current study aims to investigate how miRNAs regulate Wnt/β-catenin to control HF inductivity of DP cells by performing microarray analysis in early- and late-passage DP cells and transfecting with miRNAs inhibitor or mimic. Results showed early-passage DP cells strongly expressed miRNAs related to inhibition of noncanonical Wnt pathways. In late-passage DP cells, miRNAs capable of inhibiting the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway were upregulated, in addition to the miRNAs targeting the noncanonical Wnt pathway. Moreover, we verified that β-catenin expression was downregulated by miR-195-5p overexpression in dose manner. Meanwhile LRP6 expression was downregulated in both protein and mRNA as well as the genes involved in the hair inductivity of DP cells. These results suggest that the appearance of miRNAs that suppress the Wnt/β-catenin pathway may be responsible for the loss of ability of DP cells in culture and miR-195-5p is the potential key factor involved in regulating HF inductivity of DP cells.

Retention of the capacity to induce the growth of hair by cultured adult rat vibrissa dermal papilla cells has been investigated. Small pellets of serially cultured papilla cells were implanted into the bases of the exposed follicular epidermis of amputated adult rat vibrissa follicles. Amputated follicles that received no cell implants or implants of cultured dorsal skin fibroblasts were used as controls. Over 50% of follicles implanted with cultured papilla cells in the passage range 1–3 grew hairs. In contrast none of the follicles that received late passage cells (range 6–15) produced hairs; and spontaneous regeneration of hair occurred in only 3% of the control follicles. These results demonstrate that cultured papilla cells of early passage numbers retain their ability to induce hair growth. Histological examination confirmed that the implanted papilla cells interacted with follicular epidermis to organize the development of new, hair-producing bulbs, each containing a discrete dermal papilla. An important observation was that aggregative behaviour leading to papilla formation was only manifested by early passage papilla cell implants. This persisting embryonic characteristic appears to be an essential functional component of papilla cell activity which operates to regulate the profound morphogenetic changes that occur during the hair growth cycle.

The term cosmetopoeia refers to the use of plants in folks’ cosmetics. The aerial parts of Bidens pilosa L., the leaves of Calophyllum inophyllum L. and the fruits of Fagraea berteroana A.Gray ex Benth are traditionally used in French Polynesia for hair and skin care. During the hair cycle, dermal papilla cells and their interaction with epithelial cells are essential to promote hair follicle elongation. The aim of our investigations was the identification of metabolites from these three plants and chemical families responsible for their hair growth activity. A bioactivity-based molecular network was produced by mapping the correlation between features obtained from LC-MS/MS data and dermal papilla cell proliferation, using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The analyses pointed out glycosylated flavonols and phenolic acids from B. pilosa and C. inophyllum, along with C-flavonoids, iridoids and secoiridoids from F. berteroana, as potential bioactive molecules involved in the proliferation of hair follicle dermal papilla cells. Our results highlight the metabolites of the plant species potentially involved in the induction of hair follicle growth and support the traditional uses of these plants in hair care.

We have examined the expression of smooth muscle alpha-actin in hair follicles in situ, and in hair follicle dermal cells in culture by means of immunohistochemistry. Smooth muscle alpha-actin was present in the dermal sheath component of rat vibrissa, rat pelage and human follicles. Dermal papilla cells within all types of follicles did not express the antigen. However, in culture a large percentage of both hair dermal papilla and dermal sheath cells were stained by this antibody. The same cells were negative when tested with an antibody to desmin. Overall, explant-derived skin fibroblasts had relatively low numbers of positively marked cells, but those from skin regions of high hair-follicle density displayed more smooth muscle alpha-actin expression than fibroblasts from areas with fewer follicles. 2-D SDS-PAGE confirmed that, unlike fibroblasts, cultured papilla cells contained significant quantities of the alpha-actin isoform. The rapid switching on of smooth muscle alpha-actin expression by dermal papilla cells in early culture, contrasts with the behaviour of smooth muscle cells in vitro, and has implications for control of expression of the antigen in normal adult systems. The very high percentage of positively marked cultured papilla and sheath cells also provides a novel marker of cells from follicle dermis, and reinforces the idea that they represent a specialized cell population, contributing to the heterogeneity of fibroblast cell types in the skin dermis, and possibly acting as a source of myofibroblasts during wound healing.

Abstract Background Hair follicle (HF) undergo periodic growth and development in mammals, which regulated by dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are reported to play an important role in the HF morphogenesis and development. However, primary DPCs have low proliferative activity, age quickly, and fresh cell isolation is both time-consuming and laborious. Method In this study, we introduced SV40LT into dissociated early passage rabbit vibrissae DPCs with lentiviral vectors and established seven immortalized DP cell lines (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6 and R-7). Result These cell lines displayed early passage morphology and displayed high alkaline phosphatase activity. RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining showed that all the immortalized cell lines expressed the DPC markers (α-SMA ,IGF1, ALPL, FGF2, BMP2 and TGFβ2; α-SMA and VIM protein), but α-SMA was only expressed well in R-3, R-4, and R-7. Furthermore, it was found that R-7 was the only line to survive beyond 50 passages. Compared to melanoma cells, R-7 did not undergo malignant transformation. Karyotyping and cell growth viability analysis illustrated that the R-7 cell line preserved the basic characteristics of primary DPCs. Conclusion The R-7 DPCs established have potential application for future hair research. The study provides the theoretical basis in the cell research of HF growth and development.

The dermal papilla is a discrete group of cells at the base of the hair follicle and is implicated in controlling the hair growth cycle. Early passage dermal papilla cells can induce hair growth in vivo, but, upon further culturing, this property is lost. In order to study the events occurring in hair induction, a representative dermal papilla cell line was required. We have transfected passage 1 rat vibrissa dermal papilla cells with a polyomavirus large T gene encoding a temperature-sensitive T antigen, and generated permanent cell lines in which the immortalizing function can be switched off by temperature shift. The cells established without crisis, resembled cells in the starting population, and retained the aggregative properties of early passage dermal papilla cells. Growth studies were performed on the immortalized cell lines, which showed that transferring the cells to the restrictive temperature for the large T gene product resulted in cell senescence or quiescence, and changes in morphology. Implantation of cell pellets into the ears of immunologically compatible rats showed that the immortal cells retained hair-inductive ability. Cytokines are believed to have an important role in the control of hair growth. The pattern of cytokine gene expression in the immortal cell lines was compared with early passage dermal papilla cells and a non-hair-inducing dermal papilla cell line, using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Epidermal growth factor, tumour necrosis factor, and interleukin-1a were detected in the immortalized and non-hair-inducing dermal papilla cell lines, but were absent in passage 2 dermal papilla cells. All other cytokines examined were detected in all the cell types under study. These results demonstrate that the polyomavirus large Ttsa-immortalized dermal papilla cell lines are very similar to passage 2 dermal papilla cells and thus provide a good model for hair growth studies. Cytokine expression profiles indicate that the expression of several cytokines may be implicated in hair induction. Further studies are under way to investigate the relationship between cytokine expression and the hair growth cycle.

Topical or systemic administration of JAK inhibitors has been shown to be a new treatment modality for severe alopecia areata (AA). Some patients show a good response to JAK inhibitors, but frequently relapse after cessation of the treatment. There have been no guidelines about the indications and use of JAK inhibitors in treating AA. The basic pathomechanism of AA and the relevant role of JAK inhibitors should support how to efficiently use JAK inhibitors. We sought to investigate the effect of JAK1/2 inhibitor on an in vitro model of AA and to examine the possible mechanisms. We used interferon gamma-pretreated human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) as an in vitro model of AA. Ruxolitinib was administered to the hDPCs, and cell viability was assessed. The change of expression of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, molecules related to the JAK-STAT pathway, and growth factors in ruxolitinib-treated hDPCs was also examined by reverse transcription PCR and Western blot assay. We examined immune-privilege-related molecules by immunohistochemistry in hair-follicle culture models. Ruxolitinib did not affect the cell viability of the hDPCs. Ruxolitinib activated several molecules in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, including Lef1 and β-catenin, and suppressed the transcription of DKK1 in hDPCs, but not its translation. Ruxolitinib reverted IFN-γ-induced expression of caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-15, and IL-18, and stimulated several growth factors, such as FGF7. Ruxolitinib suppressed the phosphorylation of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3, and STAT1 and 3 compared to IFN-γ pretreated hDPCs. Ruxolitinib pretreatment showed a protective effect on IFN-γ-induced expression of MHC-class II molecules in cultured hair follicles. In conclusion, ruxolitinib modulated and reverted the interferon-induced inflammatory changes by blocking the JAK-STAT pathway in hDPCs under an AA-like environment. Ruxolitinib directly stimulated anagen-re-entry signals in hDPCs by affecting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and promoting growth factors in hDPCs. Ruxolitinib treatment prevented IFN-γ-induced collapse of hair-follicle immune privilege.
